SG0-001 · Question #546
A storage administrator has just installed a new SAN. Which of the following should the administrator establish for performance monitoring purposes?
The correct answer is C. Baseline. To effectively monitor performance on a new SAN, an administrator should establish a baseline by collecting performance data under normal operating conditions.

Why each option
To effectively monitor performance on a new SAN, an administrator should establish a baseline by collecting performance data under normal operating conditions.
Capacity planning is about anticipating future storage needs, not directly about monitoring current performance metrics like IOPS or latency.
Free space thresholds relate to capacity management and alerts for low free space, not directly for monitoring performance metrics.
Establishing a baseline involves collecting performance data under normal operating conditions to create a reference point, which is crucial for identifying deviations and diagnosing performance issues in the future.
Used space thresholds are similar to free space thresholds, focusing on capacity alerts rather than performance measurement.
