An administrator is mapping the drives of an MX5016s. The disk must be split in groups among multiple compute sled slots. Which storage configuration must be used?

The correct answer is C. Drive-Assigned mode. Drive-Assigned mode allows each individual drive in the MX5016s to be assigned to a specific compute sled slot, making it the only configuration that supports splitting disks into groups across multiple compute sleds. Enclosure-Assigned mode (B) is wrong because it assigns the…

Explanation

Drive-Assigned mode allows each individual drive in the MX5016s to be assigned to a specific compute sled slot, making it the only configuration that supports splitting disks into groups across multiple compute sleds. Enclosure-Assigned mode (B) is wrong because it assigns the entire storage sled - all drives - to a single compute sled, preventing any split across multiple slots. Split-Assigned mode (A) is a distractor; it is not a valid MX5016s storage configuration mode.

Memory tip: Think "Drive = Divide" - Drive-Assigned mode lets you divide individual drives among different compute sleds, while Enclosure-Assigned locks the whole enclosure to one sled.
