What are the three types of Vservers in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2? (Choose all that apply)

The correct answer is B. Node Vserver C. Admin Vserver D. Data Vserver. Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 defines exactly three Vserver types - Node, Admin, and Data - each fulfilling a distinct role in the cluster architecture.

Why each option

Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 defines exactly three Vserver types - Node, Admin, and Data - each fulfilling a distinct role in the cluster architecture.

ASystem Vserver

System Vserver is not a recognized Vserver type in the clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 taxonomy; no such category exists in the architecture.

BNode VserverCorrect

A Node Vserver is automatically created for each physical cluster node and manages node-scoped resources such as physical ports, aggregates, and node-level services. It is not administrator-created and represents the underlying hardware entity within the cluster. Every node in a clustered Data ONTAP system has exactly one Node Vserver.

CAdmin VserverCorrect

The Admin Vserver is a singleton entity created at cluster initialization that provides cluster-wide administrative access and management functions. It allows administrators to manage cluster-level configurations such as licensing, management network interfaces, and cluster health. There is only one Admin Vserver per cluster.

DData VserverCorrect

Data Vservers are administrator-created virtual storage servers that host data volumes and logical interfaces, serving client data via NAS protocols (NFS, CIFS) and/or SAN protocols (FC, iSCSI, FCoE). Each Data Vserver has its own namespace and is the primary unit for data access in clustered ONTAP.

EManagement Vserver

Management Vserver is not a defined Vserver type; cluster management functions are handled by the Admin Vserver, not a separate management entity.

FCluster Vserver

Cluster Vserver is not a valid Vserver type in clustered Data ONTAP 8.2; the Admin Vserver serves as the cluster-level management entity.
