Storage Provisioning and Management
Question
Using the following path: /users/sales/a1/smith, which are the two possible path types for "a1"? (Choose two.)
Options
- AA directory
- BA file
- CA LUN
- DA qtree
Explanation
In a ONTAP NAS path, an intermediate component like 'a1' can be either a standard directory or a qtree, both of which appear identically in the file path hierarchy.
Common mistakes.
- B. A file cannot be an intermediate component in a path because nothing can reside inside a file - 'smith' follows 'a1', so 'a1' must be a container type.
- C. A LUN is a block-level storage object accessed via SAN protocols and does not appear as a navigable component in a NAS file path.
