NS0-157 Question #8: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation
The correct answer is B: ntap7:/users. NFS clients mount ONTAP volumes using the SVM's DNS name as the hostname and the volume's configured junction path, not the SVM object name or the volume name.
Question
You create an SVM named svm7. Its DNS name is ntap7. In svm7, you create a volume named vol1 with a junction path of /users. An NFS client would mount the root of vol1 using which path?
Options
- Asvm7:/users
- Bntap7:/users
- Cntap7:/vol1
- Dsvm7:/vol1
Explanation
NFS clients mount ONTAP volumes using the SVM's DNS name as the hostname and the volume's configured junction path, not the SVM object name or the volume name.
Common mistakes.
- A. svm7 is the SVM's internal object name within ONTAP, not a DNS-resolvable hostname; NFS clients cannot resolve it to an IP address without a DNS entry.
- C. NFS clients use the junction path to locate volumes in the namespace, not the volume name; /vol1 is the volume name and is not the configured junction path, which is /users.
- D. Both parts are incorrect - svm7 is not a DNS hostname that NFS clients can resolve, and /vol1 is the volume name rather than the junction path /users configured on that volume.
Concept tested. ONTAP NFS mount using DNS name and junction path
