   A company is running out of storage capacity on a pool that supports several virtual machines. They need to determine which VMs are the best candidates for cleanup or migration. In Unisphere for PowerMax, what is the most effective way to identify these VMs?

   • ALook at the pool's volumes and identify which VMs are using the largest volumes.
   • BRun a performance report on the pool to see which VMs have the highest IOPS.
   • CReview the alert history to see which VMs have triggered capacity warnings.
   • DCheck the pool's capacity report to see the total used space and the alert threshold.
