The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

Cisco UCS Director displays all managed components in each NetApp SVM account.
You can monitor each component and perform tasks such as creating, deleting, and modifying these components. The following components are monitored in a NetApp SVM account:
A volume is a logical file system whose structure is made visible to users when you export the volume to a UNIX host through an NFS mount or to a Windows host through a CIFS share. A volume is the most inclusive of the logical containers. It can store files and directories, qtrees, and LUNs.

A qtree is similar in concept to a partition. It creates a subset of a volume to which a quota can be applied to limit its size. As a special case, a qtree can be the entire volume. A qtree is more flexible than a partition because you can change the size of a qtree at any time.

An export policy includes export rules to control client access to volumes. An export policy must exist on a SVM for clients to access data. You associate an export policy with each volume to configure client access to the volume.
A single SVM can contain multiple export policies. This enables you to do the following for SVMs with multiple volumes:

You can configure export rules to determine how to handle the client access requests to volumes.
At least one export rule need to be added to an export policy to allow access to clients. If an export policy contains more than one rule, the rules are processed based on rule index. The permissions defined in a rule are applied to the clients that match the client match criteria specified in the export rule.

A port set consists of a group of Fibre Channel (FC) target ports. You bind a port set to an igroup, to make the LUN available only on a subset of the storage system's target ports. Any host in the igroup can access the LUNs only by connecting to the target ports in the port set.
If an igroup is not bound to a port set, the LUNs mapped to the igroup are available on all of the storage system FC target ports. The igroup controls which initiators LUNs are exported to. The port set limits the target ports on which those initiators have access.

A World Wide Port Names (WWPN) is a unique, 64-bit identifier displayed as a 16-character hexadecimal value in Data ONTAP. However, SAN Administrators may find it easier to identify FC ports using an alias instead, especially in larger SANs. You can create multiple aliases for a WWPN, but you cannot use the same alias for multiple WWPNs.
