The correct answer is F. No, you can't create two NSS storage pools in the same NSS disk partition. In NSS, each storage pool must reside in its own dedicated NSS partition; a single partition cannot be shared by multiple storage pools.

Question

You're implementing NSS volumes on an OES NetWare server. Your server has one 200 GB Novell 050-696 Exam SCSI hard disk drive. You plan to create one NSS partition that will encompass the entire drive. You plan to create two storage pools that will be associated with this partition: SYS_POOL DATA_POOL You want to create the SYS volume in the SYS_POOL. You want to create two NSS logical volumes named DATA and SHARED in the DATA_POOL. Will this design work?

Options

  • AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.
  • BNo, NSS doesn't support SCSI hard disk drives.
  • CNo, NSS partitions can't be larger than 80 GB.
  • DNo, the SYS volume must be a Traditional volume.
  • ENo, you can't create two NSS storage pools on the same server.
  • FNo, you can't create two NSS storage pools in the same NSS disk partition.
  • GNo, you can't create multiple NSS logical volumes in the same NSS storage pool.

Why each option

In NSS, each storage pool must reside in its own dedicated NSS partition; a single partition cannot be shared by multiple storage pools.

AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.

The design fails the one-partition-per-pool rule, so not all NSS requirements have been met.

BNo, NSS doesn't support SCSI hard disk drives.

NSS fully supports SCSI hard disk drives as underlying storage devices.

CNo, NSS partitions can't be larger than 80 GB.

NSS partitions have no 80 GB size ceiling; a 200 GB NSS partition is valid.

DNo, the SYS volume must be a Traditional volume.

The SYS volume can be an NSS volume; it does not have to be a Traditional volume in OES NSS configurations.

ENo, you can't create two NSS storage pools on the same server.

Multiple storage pools on the same server are permitted, provided each pool has its own dedicated NSS partition.

FNo, you can't create two NSS storage pools in the same NSS disk partition.Correct

NSS enforces a one-to-one relationship between an NSS disk partition and a storage pool - a partition is claimed entirely by one pool. Because the design plans two storage pools (SYS_POOL and DATA_POOL) but only one NSS partition spanning the entire 200 GB drive, the second pool would have no partition to occupy, making the design invalid.

GNo, you can't create multiple NSS logical volumes in the same NSS storage pool.

Multiple NSS logical volumes within the same storage pool is explicitly supported and a common configuration.
