With clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 or later, and administrator may use NDMP command at which two levels? (select two)
The correct answer is A. Node D. VServer. Starting with clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, NDMP is supported at both the node level and the SVM (Vserver) level, replacing the older single-node NDMP model.

Why each option
Starting with clustered Data ONTAP 8.2, NDMP is supported at both the node level and the SVM (Vserver) level, replacing the older single-node NDMP model.
Node-scoped NDMP allows backup applications to connect directly to a specific node, which is the traditional NDMP mode retained for compatibility with tape devices attached to that node.
Cluster is not a valid NDMP operational scope in ONTAP; NDMP sessions are established at the node or Vserver level, not cluster-wide.
Intercluster is not a supported NDMP scope; NDMP does not operate across cluster peering relationships.
Vserver-scoped NDMP (SVM-scoped) is the preferred mode introduced in 8.2, enabling backup operations tied to a specific SVM and its data LIFs rather than a physical node.
