Which option is true when allocating and verifying storage?
A.
For expandable systems, JBODs can be allocated as “quarter/1 “half/1 or “whole.”
B.
In general, half JBODs are the preferred unit for managing storage, but quarter JBODs can be used where
storage needs are small.
C.
The allocation of hot spares depends on the storage profile chosen (for example, striped).
D.
All devices must be connected and functioning before continuing past the verification step.
Explanation:
Verification and Allocation
The verificationphase allows you to verify that all storage is attached and functioning, and allocatesdisks within chassis. In a standalone system, this presents a list of all available storage and drive types, with the ability to change the number of disks to allocate to the new pool. By default, the maximum number of disks are allocated, but this number can be reduced in anticipation of creating multiple pools.
In an expandable system, JBODs are displayed in a list along with the head node, and allocation can be controlled within each JBOD. For each JBOD, the system must import available disks, aprocess that can take asignificant amount of time depending the number and configuration of JBODs. Disks within the system chassis can be allocated individually (as with cache devices), but JBODs must be allocated as either ‘whole’ or ‘half’. In general, whole JBODs are the preferred unit for managing storage, but half JBODs can be used where storage needs are small, or where NSPF is needed in a smaller configuration.
