An administrator manages a volume group containing three volumes that support a critical application. The application team requests a consistent point-in-time copy for testing. The administrator creates a snapshot of the volume group. Later, the team realizes they need a writable copy of the same point-in-time state. What is the most efficient way to provide this?

Create a new snapshot of the volume group and use it as a writable copy.

Create individual clones of each volume in the group.

Create a clone from the volume group snapshot.

Restore the volume group from the snapshot and then copy the data.

A volume was created as thin-provisioned with a 500 GB logical size. It is currently 90% full. The storage pool has 1 TB of free space. The administrator needs to expand the volume to 1 TB. What is the most important consideration before performing the expansion?

The expansion will immediately consume 500 GB of additional physical space.

The expansion will fail because the volume is thin-provisioned.

The volume must be unmapped from all hosts before expansion.

The expansion will increase the volume's logical size to 1 TB.

A virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) environment requires 100 volumes, each 50 GB. The administrator expects most volumes to use less than 10 GB of space. The storage pool has 2 TB of free space. Which provisioning type should be used to maximize the number of volumes that can be created?

Use snapshots instead of volumes.

Thick provisioning for all volumes.

Thin provisioning for all volumes.

Thick provisioning for half and thin for half.

A development team needs a writable copy of a 2 TB production volume to test a new application version. The copy must be available quickly and should not impact production performance. The storage pool has 500 GB of free space. What is the most appropriate action?

Create a thin-provisioned clone of the production volume.

Create a snapshot of the production volume and mount it to the test host.

Create a new empty volume and copy the data manually.

Create a thick-provisioned clone of the production volume.
