NS0-158 · Question #120

You have created a storage virtual machine named SVM1 with a NetBIOS name of FILES1 and you have successfully joined the Active Directory domain. You have created a CIFS share called SHARE1 and have…

The correct answer is B. \\FILES1\SHARE1. Users should map to the CIFS share using the NetBIOS name of the storage virtual machine followed by the share name, as per standard UNC path conventions.

Question

You have created a storage virtual machine named SVM1 with a NetBIOS name of FILES1 and you have successfully joined the Active Directory domain. You have created a CIFS share called SHARE1 and have given read/write access to all users. Network connectivity has been verified. To which path should the users be mapping?

Options

  • A\SHARE1\FILES1
  • B\FILES1\SHARE1
  • C\SVM1\FILES1
  • D\FILES1\SVM1

Why each option

Users should map to the CIFS share using the NetBIOS name of the storage virtual machine followed by the share name, as per standard UNC path conventions.

A\\SHARE1\FILES1

This path reverses the standard UNC convention, incorrectly placing the share name before the server's NetBIOS name, which will prevent successful mapping.

B\\FILES1\SHARE1Correct

The standard Universal Naming Convention (UNC) path for accessing a network share is `\\ServerName\ShareName`. In this scenario, FILES1 is the NetBIOS name assigned to SVM1, acting as the 'ServerName', and SHARE1 is the 'ShareName' that was created, making `\\FILES1\SHARE1` the correct mapping path.

C\\SVM1\FILES1

SVM1 is the internal name of the storage virtual machine, not the NetBIOS name used for client access on the network, and FILES1 is the server identity, not a share in this path context.

D\\FILES1\SVM1

While FILES1 is the correct NetBIOS name for the server, SVM1 is the internal SVM name, not the name of the CIFS share which is SHARE1.
