Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Unity XT — Question 48

What is a consequence of using an 800 GB drive and five 400 GB drives in a Dell EMC Unity XT dynamic pool?

Answer options

• A. Extents 9 ג€" 14 are used to create a RAID Group
• B. Unisphere short strokes the 800 GB drive to 8 extents
• C. Extents 9 ג€" 14 are marked unavailable until more 800 GB drives are added
• D. Extents 9 ג€" 14 are marked unavailable and can never be recovered

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because in a dynamic pool with mixed drive sizes, larger drives may result in some extents being marked as unavailable until matching drives are added. Option A is incorrect as extents are not automatically used to create a RAID Group in this scenario. Option B is misleading; Unisphere does not limit the drive usage in this manner. Option D is incorrect as extents can potentially be made available again with the addition of compatible drives.
