Why each option
This question describes the nature of FlexCache volumes in NetApp clustered ONTAP 8.2. FlexCache volumes are characterized by being sparsely-populated, meaning they only store data that has been accessed.
FlexCache volumes are not fully provisioned; they populate with data dynamically as it is accessed, rather than pre-allocating all space.
FlexCache volumes cannot have Snapshot copies; Snapshot copies are created and managed exclusively on the origin volume.
FlexCache volumes cannot be moved between aggregates or nodes within the cluster; their location is tied to the caching node where they are created.
FlexCache volumes in clustered ONTAP 8.2 are sparsely-populated volumes; they only store data blocks that have been requested and read or written through the cache, rather than maintaining a full replica of the origin volume. This design optimizes storage usage by only caching active data.
