NS0-157 Question #44: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is C: Define an export policy and rules under a data Vserver. NFS exports in Clustered ONTAP are configured by creating an export policy with associated rules under a data Vserver, which owns the volumes being shared. Admin and node Vservers do not host data volumes and therefore cannot own export policies for client access.

Question

How do you create NFS export within clustered ONTAP?

Options

ADefine an export policy and rules under the node Vserver
BDefine an export policy and rules under the admin Vserver
CDefine an export policy and rules under a data Vserver
DDefine an export policy under a data Vserver and rules under the admin Vserver

Explanation

NFS exports in Clustered ONTAP are configured by creating an export policy with associated rules under a data Vserver, which owns the volumes being shared. Admin and node Vservers do not host data volumes and therefore cannot own export policies for client access.

Common mistakes.

A. Node Vservers are internal system SVMs used for cluster management traffic and do not host data volumes or serve NFS to external clients.
B. The admin Vserver (cluster management SVM) manages cluster-wide settings and does not own data volumes or NFS export configurations.
D. Export policy rules must be defined under the same data Vserver as the policy itself; splitting policy and rules across the data Vserver and admin Vserver is not a valid or supported configuration.
