Which description of clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 Infinite Volume (InfiniVol) is true?

The correct answer is C. Infinite Volume Vservers and FlexVol Vservers can co-exist in the same cluster. Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 allows an Infinite Volume SVM and standard FlexVol SVMs to run simultaneously in the same cluster, serving different workload types.

Why each option

Clustered Data ONTAP 8.2 allows an Infinite Volume SVM and standard FlexVol SVMs to run simultaneously in the same cluster, serving different workload types.

AInfinite Volume Vservers can share aggregates

Infinite Volume Vservers use dedicated aggregates on each participating node and cannot share aggregates with other SVMs or other Infinite Volume Vservers.

BInfinite Volume Vservers use Traditional volumes

Infinite Volume Vservers use constituent volumes - a special internal volume type managed by ONTAP - not Traditional volumes.

CInfinite Volume Vservers and FlexVol Vservers can co-exist in the same clusterCorrect

ONTAP 8.2 supports co-existence of an Infinite Volume Vserver (a single SVM backed by constituent volumes spanning multiple nodes for massive unstructured data) alongside standard FlexVol Vservers in the same cluster. This lets organizations use Infinite Volume for large-scale NAS workloads while retaining normal FlexVol SVMs for other applications without requiring separate clusters.

DInfinite Volume Vservers and FlexVol Vservers cannot co-exist

This directly contradicts the documented behavior; co-existence of Infinite Volume and FlexVol Vservers in one cluster is a supported and intentional design in cDOT 8.2.

Concept tested: Infinite Volume SVM co-existence with FlexVol SVMs
