QuestionQ8

Data Storage Software

A storage administrator needs to provision storage on a NetApp E-Series system.

Which disk-layout type delivers the fastest rebuild time following a disk failure?

  • A RAID 5
  • B Volume groups
  • C Advanced Disk Partitioning
  • D Disk pools
Explanation

Disk pools provide the fastest drive rebuilds because preservation capacity and redundancy are distributed across the pool, allowing the array to reconstruct a failed drive using many drives rather than a single dedicated hot spare. NetApp identifies pool rebuild time as faster than that of volume groups.
