In which area are SVM administrators allowed to configure resources?

The correct choice indicates that SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) administrators have the authority to configure resources specifically for data storage VMs. In the context of a NetApp environment, SVMs are designed to isolate and manage storage resources within a cluster. They allow for different configurations and settings that pertain to data management, such as LIFs (Logical Interfaces), aggregates, volumes, and other storage resources.

This designation of control ensures that SVM administrators can tailor the storage and network configurations to meet the specific needs of the applications they support, while also maintaining the overall efficiency and performance of the cluster. By having this level of control, SVM administrators can optimize their particular segment of the overall storage environment, leading to better resource utilization and management.

In contrast, the other options do not align with the scope of SVM administrator privileges. Cluster-wide settings would generally fall under the purview of a higher level of administration that manages the entire cluster rather than a single SVM. Network configurations only would limit the responsibilities of the SVM administrators, as they have broader configuration capabilities relating to storage management. Node-level management pertains to the physical nodes of the cluster, which is beyond what SVM administrators typically manage, further emphasizing why these areas are not where
