NS0-157 · Question #308
Which of the following Vserver types are created automatically by the cluster setup process? (choose all that apply)
The correct answer is B. Admin D. Node. During cluster setup, ONTAP automatically creates the admin SVM (for cluster-wide management) and one node SVM per node (for node-specific management); data SVMs must be created manually by administrators.

Why each option
During cluster setup, ONTAP automatically creates the admin SVM (for cluster-wide management) and one node SVM per node (for node-specific management); data SVMs must be created manually by administrators.
There is no distinct 'Management' Vserver type; management functions are handled by the admin SVM and node SVMs, both of which are auto-created but classified differently.
The admin SVM is automatically created during cluster initialization and serves as the cluster-wide administrative Vserver, hosting the cluster management LIF and running as the context for cluster admin operations.
While the cluster SVM exists internally for cluster network communication, it is not typically listed as a type manually managed by administrators and is distinct from the admin SVM.
One node SVM is automatically created for each node that joins the cluster; it hosts the node management LIF and provides node-level access for hardware and firmware management tasks.
Data SVMs are not created automatically; administrators must manually create and configure them with volumes, LIFs, and protocols after cluster setup.
The diagnostic Vserver is a special-purpose internal SVM used only by NetApp support and is not created as part of normal cluster setup.
