What is a prerequisite for creating a volume group?

The system must have at least one dedicated hot spare drive.

All drives must be of different sizes to maximize capacity.

Select a RAID level that is supported by the number of drives in the group.

The drives must be formatted with a file system before creating the group.

Which characteristic is a benefit of Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) over traditional volume groups?

DDP requires less total capacity for the same usable capacity because it uses RAID 0 by default.

DDP supports more RAID levels than volume groups, including RAID 0, 1, 5, and 6.

DDP simplifies capacity expansion by allowing you to add drives to the pool without manually reconfiguring RAID groups.

DDP provides better performance than volume groups for all workloads because it uses a dedicated cache.

Which step is part of the DDP creation process?

Create a volume group first and then convert it to a DDP.

Assign a RAID level such as RAID 5 or RAID 6 to the pool.

Select the drives to include in the pool and specify the desired capacity.

Format the drives with a file system before adding them to the pool.

A media company needs to create a volume group for a video editing SAN. They have 16 drives of mixed sizes (8x 4TB and 8x 8TB). The workload requires high sequential throughput and can tolerate one drive failure. They want to maximize capacity while maintaining RAID protection. What should they do?

Create a RAID 6 volume group using all 16 drives

Create two RAID 5 volume groups: one with 8x 4TB and one with 8x 8TB

Create a RAID 5 volume group using all 16 drives

Create a RAID 5 volume group using the 8x 8TB drives and leave the 4TB drives unused

A company has a volume group with RAID 5 using 8 drives. One drive fails. The admin has a replacement drive available. What is the correct procedure to recover the volume group?

Use the SAN's 'rebuild' command to rebuild the volume group without replacing the drive

Replace the failed drive with the new drive and the volume group will automatically rebuild

Add the new drive to the volume group as a hot spare

Delete the volume group and recreate it with the new drive
