   A storage administrator is planning to create a manual snapshot of a heavily used production volume during peak hours. The volume is currently at 85% capacity. What should the administrator consider before proceeding?

   • AThe snapshot will consume additional space, and creating it may cause a slight performance impact on the volume.
   • BThe snapshot will fail because the volume is over 80% full.
   • CThe snapshot will not consume any additional space because it uses a copy-on-write mechanism.
   • DThe snapshot will double the performance of the volume because it creates a separate copy.

   A company has a critical database volume that is heavily used during business hours. The administrator needs to create a manual snapshot for a backup, but the volume is at 90% capacity and the storage pool has only 5% free space. The snapshot must be created immediately. What is the best course of action?

   • ACreate the snapshot immediately; the copy-on-write mechanism will not consume additional space until changes are made.
   • BAdd additional storage to the pool to ensure sufficient space, then create the snapshot.
   • CCreate the snapshot and monitor the space usage; if it fails, retry later.
   • DCreate the snapshot during off-peak hours to minimize performance impact.
