What is the purpose of mapping a volume to a host in PowerFlex?

To make the volume accessible to the host for I/O operations

A thin-provisioned volume 'app-data' has been in use for several months. The administrator notices that the volume's used capacity is much lower than its allocated size. The administrator wants to reclaim unused space to free up pool capacity. What should the administrator do?

Use the storage system's space reclamation feature to reclaim unused space.

Delete the volume and recreate it with a smaller size.

Unmap the volume from all hosts.

Expand the volume to a larger size.

After mapping a volume to a host, what should you verify?

The volume is renamed to match the host

The volume appears in the host's list of mapped devices

The volume is deleted from the storage pool

A storage pool is configured for thin provisioning. An administrator notices that a volume's used capacity is growing rapidly. The administrator wants to monitor the thin-provisioned volume's consumption and avoid over-allocation of the pool. What should the administrator do?

Convert the volume to thick provisioning to prevent over-allocation.

Unmap the volume to stop data growth.

Monitor the volume's used capacity and the pool's free space regularly.
