   What is a key aspect of capacity allocation in a traditional pool?

   • ACapacity is allocated automatically and can be adjusted as needed.
   • BCapacity is allocated based on the number of drives in the pool.

   An administrator is creating a dynamic pool on a Unity XT with 10 SAS flash drives and 20 NL-SAS drives. The administrator wants to ensure that the pool can automatically optimize performance for a database workload that has unpredictable access patterns. What is the expected behavior of the dynamic pool?

   • AThe pool will require the administrator to manually move data between the drive types
   • BThe pool will use all drives equally, regardless of access frequency
   • CThe pool will automatically move frequently accessed data to the SAS flash drives and less frequently accessed data to the NL-SAS drives
   • DThe pool will only use the SAS flash drives for all data

   A university is deploying a Unity XT for two distinct workloads: a research database with unpredictable I/O and a file archive with predictable, low I/O. The IT team is small and wants to minimize management effort. They also want to optimize performance for the database and capacity for the archive. What is the best approach?

   • ACreate a dynamic pool for the database and a traditional pool for the archive
   • BCreate a single traditional pool with FAST VP
   • CCreate two traditional pools, one for each workload
   • DCreate a single dynamic pool for both workloads

   An administrator is provisioning a new dynamic pool on a Unity XT. The pool will contain a mix of SAS flash and NL-SAS drives. The administrator wants to ensure that the pool can automatically use the fastest drives for the most active data without manual intervention. What is the correct way to group the drives when creating the pool?

   • AAdd the SAS flash drives to a dynamic pool and the NL-SAS drives to a separate traditional pool
   • BAdd all drives to a single dynamic pool and let the system automatically tier data
   • CCreate a traditional pool and manually assign data to the SAS flash drives
   • DCreate separate pools for each drive type and use FAST VP to move data between them
