SG0-001 · Question #82

Host-based volume management can be used to virtualize which of the following?

The correct answer is A. Storage from multiple arrays. Host-based volume management enables the virtualization and pooling of storage resources, including those originating from multiple different storage arrays.

Why each option

Host-based volume management enables the virtualization and pooling of storage resources, including those originating from multiple different storage arrays.

AStorage from multiple arraysCorrect

Host-based volume management software, such as Logical Volume Manager (LVM) on Linux or Storage Spaces on Windows, runs on the server and can aggregate physical disks or logical units (LUNs) from various sources, including multiple storage arrays, into a unified logical storage pool. This provides an abstracted view of storage to the operating system and applications.

BMultiple operating systems

Virtualizing multiple operating systems is the function of a hypervisor, not host-based volume management software.

CSAN fabrics from remote data centers

SAN fabrics are network infrastructure and their virtualization is typically handled at the network or storage controller level, not by host-based volume management.

DMultiple tape devices

Virtualization of multiple tape devices is usually managed by specialized backup software or Virtual Tape Libraries (VTLs), not by general host-based volume management.
