CV0-003 · Question #221

Which of the following terms describes a system where multiple storage controllers allow access to data in a cloud environment where it appears as a single storage system to the user?

The correct answer is D. Shared volume. A shared volume presents storage managed by multiple controllers as a single unified logical system to end users, enabling concurrent multi-host access in cloud environments.

Why each option

A shared volume presents storage managed by multiple controllers as a single unified logical system to end users, enabling concurrent multi-host access in cloud environments.

AFlexible volume

A flexible volume refers to a dynamically resizable logical volume within a single storage system, not an architecture involving multiple controllers presenting unified access.

BPaired storage

Paired storage describes a high-availability mirroring configuration between two storage systems for redundancy, not a multi-controller unified presentation architecture.

CVirtualized storage

Virtualized storage is a broader concept describing the abstraction of physical storage into logical pools, while the specific term for multi-controller single-system presentation to concurrent users is shared volume.

DShared volumeCorrect

A shared volume is a logical storage unit simultaneously accessible by multiple hosts through multiple storage controllers, and it presents the underlying redundant or distributed storage as one coherent volume to users - directly matching the scenario of multiple controllers appearing as a single storage system.
