Outline steps to create a new SVM and enable NFS on it.

• A. Create SVM; create data LIFs for NFS; enable NFS on the SVM; define an export policy and rules; mount from clients.
• B. Create a volume on an existing SVM, then enable NFS.
• C. Enable SMB on the SVM and create Windows shares.
• D. Create SVM and map a data LIF to a Windows client.

Answer: (A)

Setting up NFS on a new SVM starts with creating the SVM itself, since the SVM is the isolated namespace and service boundary for file protocols. Then provision a data LIF specifically for NFS traffic so there is a network path for clients to reach the NFS server. After that, enable the NFS service on that SVM so it can respond to NFS requests. Next, define an export policy and corresponding rules to control which clients can access the exports and with what permissions. Finally, clients mount the NFS exports after the policy is in place and the data path is available. The other options miss essential steps or apply the wrong protocol: creating a volume on an existing SVM doesn’t create a new SVM or enable NFS on it; enabling SMB sets up Windows shares, not NFS; mapping a data LIF to a Windows client isn’t how NFS access is provisioned.
