NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, E-Series — Question 39

After creating several volumes, you notice that the hosting aggregates immediately show a decrease in available space.
Which volume setting would prevent this outcome?

Answer options

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Setting the space guarantee to 'none' allows the volume to utilize only the space that is actually used, preventing unnecessary reservation of space in the aggregate. In contrast, 'volume' guarantees reserved space for the volume, leading to decreased available space in the aggregate. 'Semi-thick' and 'thick' options also reserve space which can further reduce available capacity.
