   A bank is deploying a new database cluster with three Linux hosts that must all access the same set of 20 volumes. The storage administrator wants to minimize the number of masking operations and ensure that any future host added to the cluster automatically receives the same storage configuration. What should the administrator do?

   • ACreate a host group containing the three hosts, create a storage group with the 20 volumes, and add both to an auto-provisioning group with a masking policy.
   • BCreate three separate host objects and mask each host individually to the 20 volumes using the same masking policy.
   • CCreate a storage group with the 20 volumes and a masking policy, then manually add each host to the storage group's masking view.
   • DCreate an auto-provisioning group with the three hosts and 20 volumes, but skip the masking policy to keep the configuration simple.
