NS0-157 · Question #250
A data Vserver can contain which three elements? (Choose three.)
The correct answer is B. Data LIF C. NAS volumes F. SAN LUNs. A data Vserver owns logical data-serving resources like LIFs, NAS volumes, and SAN LUNs, but does not own physical cluster resources such as aggregates or ports.

Why each option
A data Vserver owns logical data-serving resources like LIFs, NAS volumes, and SAN LUNs, but does not own physical cluster resources such as aggregates or ports.
Aggregates are physical storage constructs owned by cluster nodes, not Vservers; a Vserver only consumes space from aggregates via volumes.
Data LIFs are logical network interfaces scoped to and managed by the Vserver, providing the network endpoint through which clients connect to the Vserver.
NAS volumes are logical storage containers owned by the Vserver and served to clients over NFS or CIFS/SMB protocols.
Vservers are isolated administrative domains and cannot contain other Vservers as nested objects.
Physical network ports belong to cluster nodes, not Vservers; Vservers use LIFs which are logical overlays on top of node-owned ports.
SAN LUNs are logical block storage units owned by the Vserver and accessed by initiators over iSCSI or Fibre Channel protocols.
Vfilers are a legacy 7-Mode Data ONTAP concept and have no equivalent component within a clustered ONTAP Vserver.
