The correct answer is E. /acct. When a NetApp volume is mapped to a junction path from the Vserver's root, a Linux host mounts the Vserver's export and accesses the volume through that specified junction path.

Question

A volume is created named "new_acct" in a data vserver named vs2. A junction for this volume is created named "acct" from the root of vs2. This namespace will be mounted on a Linux host. What is the path that the Linux host needs to mount?

Options

  • A/vs2/new_acct
  • B/vs2/acct
  • C/new_acct
  • D/vol/vs2/new_acct
  • E/acct

Why each option

When a NetApp volume is mapped to a junction path from the Vserver's root, a Linux host mounts the Vserver's export and accesses the volume through that specified junction path.

A/vs2/new_acct

This path incorrectly combines the Vserver name with the internal volume name, which is not how junctions are presented to clients.

B/vs2/acct

This path incorrectly includes the Vserver name as part of the client mount path; clients mount the Vserver's export, and then navigate the junction path.

C/new_acct

This path uses the internal volume name directly, which is not the external client-visible junction path for mounting.

D/vol/vs2/new_acct

This path uses internal ONTAP volume path conventions ('/vol'), which are not exposed to external clients for mounting.

E/acctCorrect

In NetApp ONTAP, a junction path integrates a volume into the Vserver's namespace, making it accessible through that defined path. Since the junction 'acct' is created from the root of vs2 for the volume 'new_acct', Linux clients will access the volume via the Vserver's root followed by the junction path, which is simply '/acct' from the client's perspective after mounting the Vserver's export.
