What is a prerequisite for creating a Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP) on an E-Series storage system?

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

All drives in the pool must be of the same type and size.

The system must be configured with a minimum of 12 drives.

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

What is a primary benefit of using Dynamic Disk Pools (DDP) compared to traditional volume groups?

DDP eliminates the need for any spare drives because it uses a dedicated hot spare for each drive.

DDP provides faster rebuild times after a drive failure because data is distributed across all drives in the pool.

DDP always provides higher performance than a volume group for every workload.

DDP allows you to mix different drive speeds and sizes within the same pool without any restrictions.

Which step is part of the volume group creation process?

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

Select the drives and choose a RAID level for the group.

Configure the network access for the volumes that will be created.

Specify the number of distributed spare drives to reserve.

A cloud service provider is deploying storage for a multi-tenant environment. They need to provide consistent performance to each tenant and minimize the impact of drive failures on any single tenant. The workload is mixed with moderate IOPS. Which configuration is most appropriate?

Create a single volume group with RAID 5 and carve volumes for each tenant

Create a separate volume group for each tenant

Create a large DDP and carve volumes for each tenant from it

Create a DDP with dedicated hot spares for each tenant
