Storage Management

Question

The storage administrator is planning for growth and wants to ensure that the system's applications will not crash due to not having enough disk space. The storage administrator is also trying to avoid creating waste by installing more physical disk capacity than is required. Which of the following solutions would the storage administrator implement?

Options

  • ALUN provisioning
  • BVLAN assignments
  • CThin provisioning
  • DLoad balancing

Why each option

The storage administrator seeks a solution to prevent applications from crashing due to full disks while avoiding excessive physical capacity installation.

ALUN provisioning

LUN provisioning is the general process of creating and assigning Logical Unit Numbers but does not inherently address dynamic capacity growth or over-allocation in the way thin provisioning does.

BVLAN assignments

VLAN assignments segment network traffic at Layer 2 and are unrelated to disk space management or storage capacity planning.

CThin provisioningCorrect

Thin provisioning allows the administrator to present a larger logical storage capacity to applications than is physically allocated. This prevents applications from crashing due to perceived lack of disk space, as physical capacity is dynamically allocated only when data is actually written, optimizing resource usage and avoiding waste.

DLoad balancing

Load balancing distributes network or server workload across multiple resources and is not a storage provisioning technique for managing disk space capacity.
