NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 23

Windows 2019 reports 500 GB of free space on a disk; however, on the storage side, the LUN has 0 bytes free. When the host deletes files on the disk, auto re- claim on the thin-provisioned LUN does not occur.
In this scenario, which action should you take to enable space reclamation?

Answer options

• A. Set the space allocation option to enable
• B. Set the space allocation option to disable
• C. Enable space guarantees on the volume
• D. Enable space guarantees on the LUN

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct action is to enable the space allocation option, which allows the system to reclaim space efficiently. Disabling this option would prevent reclamation from occurring, while enabling space guarantees on the volume or LUN does not directly address the space reclamation issue in this context.
