NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – SAN, Specialist — Question 23

Which command parameter will result in a thin-provisioned LUN?

Answer options

• A. -space-reservation disabled
• B. -space-allocation enabled
• C. -space-guarantee none
• D. -space-guarantee volume

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as using the '-space-reservation disabled' parameter allows the LUN to be created without reserving physical storage, which is essential for thin provisioning. Options B, C, and D do not achieve thin provisioning; B reserves space, C indicates no guarantee which does not apply to thin provisioning, and D allocates space guarantees that can lead to over-provisioning.
