Dell EMC Associate – Information Storage and Management v5 — Question 86

Which statement is true regarding virtual provisioning?

Answer options

• A. Multiple shared storage pools can be created while each pool must be allocated to a unique thin LUN
• B. Virtual provisioning prevents issues that arise from oversubscription
• C. Virtual provisioning enables more efficient allocation of storage to compute systems
• D. Shared and Thin LUNs can be expanded rapidly with only minor disruptions

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because virtual provisioning indeed allows for more efficient use of storage resources by allocating storage on-demand to compute systems. Option A is incorrect as multiple pools can share LUNs, B is misleading since while it helps manage oversubscription, it does not prevent all issues, and D, while partially true, does not directly relate to the core function of virtual provisioning.
