Refer to the exhibit. Which statement about the storage pools shown is true?

Question

Exhibit

Options

• AVolumes created on the first storage pool cannot use data reduction technologies
• BBoth storage pools are in a managed state and can be used for volume provisioning
• CHPE OneView can be used to configure volume replication between these pools
• DBoth storage pools have a license applied that enables management of these pools

• A
  5% (2)
• B
  74% (28)
• C
  8% (3)
• D
  13% (5)

Explanation

Option B is correct because HPE OneView storage pools must be in a Managed state to be used for volume provisioning - and the exhibit shows both pools displaying that status, confirming they are fully available for creating and managing volumes through OneView.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is false because data reduction technologies (such as deduplication, compression, and thin provisioning) are features of the underlying storage system and are not restricted by a pool's management state in OneView.
• C is false because HPE OneView does not natively configure volume replication between storage pools; replication is handled at the storage array level or through dedicated replication software, not through OneView's storage pool management interface.
• D is false because licensing in HPE OneView applies to the storage system (the array), not to individual storage pools - pools inherit manageability from the licensed system they belong to.

Memory tip: Think of a storage pool's "Managed" state as a green light - it means OneView has claimed it and can provision volumes from it. If you see both pools lit green in OneView, both are ready to go (Option B). Replication and licensing operate at a different layer, so answers C and D are common traps that mix up scope.
