NetApp Certified Implementation Engineer – ONTAP v4 — Question 15

After deleting a LUN, an administrator notices that the space does not show as available.

What needs to be done to reclaim the space?

Answer options

• A. Delete the volume snapshots.
• B. Purge the recovery queue.
• C. Unmap the LUN.
• D. Perform space reclamation.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Performing space reclamation is essential to actually free up the space after a LUN has been deleted, as it helps the storage system recognize that the space is no longer in use. The other options, such as deleting snapshots or purging queues, do not directly address the need to reclaim space on the storage device.
