You create a 150 GB thick-provisioned volume. In that volume, you create a 50 GB LUN with space-reserve enabled. You create another 50 GB LUN with space-reserve disabled. Before any data is written…

The correct answer is B. 100 GB. A 150 GB thick-provisioned volume has a 50 GB LUN with space-reserve enabled and another 50 GB LUN with space-reserve disabled. The LUN with space-reserve enabled immediately consumes its reserved space from the volume.

Question

You create a 150 GB thick-provisioned volume. In that volume, you create a 50 GB LUN with space-reserve enabled. You create another 50 GB LUN with space-reserve disabled. Before any data is written to either LUN or a Snapshot is taken, how much space will be available in the volume for additional LUNs?

Options

  • A150 GB
  • B100 GB
  • C75 GB
  • D50 GB

Why each option

A 150 GB thick-provisioned volume has a 50 GB LUN with space-reserve enabled and another 50 GB LUN with space-reserve disabled. The LUN with space-reserve enabled immediately consumes its reserved space from the volume.

A150 GB

This is incorrect because one of the LUNs has space-reserve enabled, which immediately consumes space from the volume, reducing the available amount.

B100 GBCorrect

The 150 GB thick-provisioned volume immediately allocates its full size. The 50 GB LUN with space-reserve enabled consumes 50 GB of that volume space upfront, even before data is written. The other 50 GB LUN with space-reserve disabled is thin-provisioned, meaning it does not reserve space from the volume until data is actually written to it. Therefore, 150 GB - 50 GB = 100 GB remains available in the volume for additional LUNs.

C75 GB

This is incorrect as it implies more space is reserved than technically necessary given that only one LUN has space-reserve enabled.

D50 GB

This is incorrect as it implies a much larger portion of the volume is reserved upfront, which is not true for the thin-provisioned LUN.
