Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 27

Which block storage volume allocates all of the physical storage specified at the time it is created?

Answer options

• A. Thick provisioned LUN
• B. Thin provisioned LUN
• C. Thin provisioned RAID
• D. Thick provisioned RAID

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, Thick provisioned LUN, because it allocates the entire specified storage capacity at creation time, ensuring that the space is reserved. In contrast, B (Thin provisioned LUN) only allocates storage as needed, and C and D refer to RAID configurations which do not directly pertain to the provisioning type of block storage volumes.
