350-601 Storage Network Practice Question
A storage administrator is configuring a new storage array that supports thin provisioning. The array reports 10 TB of physical storage and 50 TB of thin-provisioned logical capacity. Which risk is most important to monitor to avoid out-of-space conditions?
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
The rate of physical capacity consumption and remaining free space
Thin provisioning overcommits physical storage; monitoring actual physical usage and growth rate is critical to prevent running out of space.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
High latency on the Fibre Channel links
Why it's wrong here
Latency does not directly cause out-of-space conditions.
- ✗
The number of snapshots taken
Why it's wrong here
Snapshots consume space but are not the most critical risk.
- ✗
The replication status
Why it's wrong here
Replication status is important but not directly related to thin provisioning capacity.
- ✓
The rate of physical capacity consumption and remaining free space
Why this is correct
If physical space is exhausted, writes may fail or data loss can occur.
