Clustered ONTAP supports multi-tenancy using which feature?
The correct answer is D. Allow a unique login account (vsadmin) to each Vserver for administration purposes. Clustered ONTAP supports multi-tenancy by assigning a dedicated 'vsadmin' account to each Vserver (SVM), isolating administrative control per tenant. This prevents Vserver admins from accessing other Vservers or cluster-wide resources.

Why each option
Clustered ONTAP supports multi-tenancy by assigning a dedicated 'vsadmin' account to each Vserver (SVM), isolating administrative control per tenant. This prevents Vserver admins from accessing other Vservers or cluster-wide resources.
The 'admin' account is a cluster-level account and cannot be scoped per Vserver, so it does not enable multi-tenancy.
'vsadmin' is correct but assigning it at the cluster level rather than per Vserver would not provide tenant isolation.
The 'admin' account per Vserver does not exist as a standard construct; the Vserver-scoped built-in account is 'vsadmin', not 'admin'.
Each data Vserver has its own built-in 'vsadmin' account that is scoped exclusively to that Vserver's resources, enabling true multi-tenant isolation where one tenant's administrator cannot view or modify another tenant's data or configuration.
Concept tested: Vserver multi-tenancy with vsadmin account isolation
