Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, PS Series — Question 14

A customer notices a volume is using an above average amount of Tier 1 RAID 10 space. What can be done to force this data into a lower RAID set/Tier?

Answer options

• A. Stop I/O to the volume
• B. Change the storage profile of the volume
• C. Take a manual snapshot
• D. Move data to a different volume

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Creating a manual snapshot allows the system to capture the current state of the volume, which can then be used to facilitate the movement of data to a lower-tier RAID configuration. The other options either halt operations (A), change settings without addressing tiering (B), or simply move data without addressing the RAID tier issue (D).
