EMC Proven Professional – Symmetrix Solutions Specialist — Question 7

A storage administrator received a request from one of the companys business units to provision a 500 GB volume with a Gold Service Level from VMAX3 array to an existing virtual machine. The administrator leverages Virtual Server Management from Unisphere for VMAX to provision this volume.
How will the new volume be accessed by the virtual machine?

Answer options

• A. RDM
• B. Virtual disk
• C. Datastore
• D. VVOL

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The new volume will be accessed by the virtual machine as a Virtual disk, which allows the VM to read from and write to the volume directly. The other options, such as RDM and VVOL, represent different ways to manage storage but do not apply in this scenario as the volume is specifically provisioned as a Virtual disk.
