NAS clients see junctions as ______________ in the parent volume.

Vservers (SVMs) are the logical storage virtual machines that own volumes and LIFs, not objects visible as namespace entries to NAS clients.

Nodes are physical hardware members of a cluster and are not part of the NAS namespace presented to clients.

Sub-Volumes is not a NetApp ONTAP term - ONTAP uses volumes mounted at junction points, which clients see as directories, not a 'sub-volume' construct.

ONTAP creates a unified namespace by mounting volumes at junction points, and NAS clients such as NFS or SMB clients traverse these junctions transparently. From the client perspective, a junction appears as a subdirectory inside the parent volume, hiding the underlying volume boundary entirely.
