Which are two characteristics of Dynamic Pools? (Select 2)

Question

Options

• AAll storage pools on the supported storage systems are dynamic pools by default.
• BThey can only be Single Tiered on the HFA systems.
• CDynamic Pools are supported on all physical Dell Unity XT models.
• DFour drives of spare space per 32 drives are used when creating a dynamic pool.

• A
  91% (31)
• B
  3% (1)
• D
  6% (2)

Explanation

Dynamic Pools on Dell Unity XT systems are the default pool type across supported storage systems (A), meaning when you create a storage pool on a supported system, it's dynamic by default - no special configuration needed. They are also supported across all physical Dell Unity XT models (C), making them a universally available feature on the hardware lineup.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• B is incorrect because Dynamic Pools support multiple tiers (not single-tier only), and the restriction to "HFA systems" doesn't apply - multi-tiering is a core benefit of dynamic pools.
• D is incorrect on the numbers: Dynamic Pools use one drive of spare space per 30 drives (not 4 per 32), which is actually more efficient than traditional RAID spare schemes.

Memory tip: Think "Dynamic = Default and Dell-wide" - the two D's help you lock in A and C. If a pool type is dynamic, it's the default behavior (A) and works across the full Dell Unity XT physical portfolio (C).
