A company has a thin-provisioned volume that was used for a temporary project. The project ended, and the application deleted most of the files. The storage administrator wants to reclaim the unused space on the volume to make it available for other volumes. What should the administrator do?

Run the SCSI UNMAP command from the host to reclaim the freed space.

Delete the volume and recreate it with the same size.

Convert the volume to thick provisioning to reclaim the space.

Create a snapshot of the volume to reclaim space.

A database volume was initially created as thin with 500 GB. The database has grown and now requires 1 TB. The storage administrator needs to increase the volume's capacity without disrupting the database. What is the correct procedure?

Create a new 1 TB volume, copy the data, and then delete the old volume.

Expand the volume online to 1 TB using the PowerStore UI or CLI.

Convert the volume to thick provisioning and then expand it.

Take the volume offline, expand it, and then bring it back online.

How does PowerStore manage the physical storage resources that back block volumes?

It requires the administrator to manually assign physical disks to each volume

It automatically places data across the available storage pool

It stores all volumes on a single large disk

It uses a fixed RAID group per volume

A storage administrator needs to decommission a block volume that is no longer used. The volume is mapped to a host and has several snapshots. What is the correct order of operations to safely delete the volume and avoid orphaned data?

Unmap the volume, delete the volume, and leave the snapshots.

Delete the volume, then delete the snapshots.

Unmap the volume from the host, delete the snapshots, then delete the volume.

Delete the snapshots, then unmap the volume, then delete the volume.
