NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v3 — Question 48
An administrator is asked to provision a SAN environment in which host applications can monitor LUN space and perform space reclamation.
Which LUN type would satisfy these requirements?
Answer options
- A. NetApp thick provisioned volume
- B. SCSI thin provisioned LUN
- C. NetApp thin provisioned volume
- D. SCSI thick provisioned LUN
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct choice is C, NetApp thin provisioned volume, as it allows for efficient space utilization and enables applications to monitor and reclaim space. Options A and D, being thick provisioned, allocate all space upfront and do not support reclamation. Option B, SCSI thin provisioned LUN, is not specific to NetApp and may not support the same features as required.
