   An administrator is using VPlexcli to expand a volume. The volume is currently 2 TB and needs to be expanded to 3 TB. The administrator runs the command 'volume expand --volume vol_data --size 3T'. After the command completes, what should the administrator do to verify the expansion?

   • ACheck the host's filesystem to see if the new capacity is visible.
   • BRun 'volume show --volume vol_data' to check the new size.
   • CRun 'volume expand --volume vol_data --size 3T' again to confirm it is idempotent.
   • DRun 'volume list' to see all volumes and their sizes.

   After expanding a volume using VPlexcli, an administrator checks the host and sees the old size. The host is running Windows Server with MPIO. What should the administrator do to make the new capacity visible?

   • ARescan disks in Disk Management or use the 'rescan' command in DiskPart.
   • BReboot the host to force a rescan.
   • CRun 'volume expand' again with the same size to refresh the host.
   • DCheck the storage array's native tools to confirm the expansion.
