Posted by Penney on Mar 08, 2026 at 09:17 AM

You are adding drives to an existing Dynamic Disk Pool (DDP).

In this scenario, which two drive characteristics should you consider when selecting the drives? (Choose two.)

Suggested Answer: A, B

Check Drive Capacity:

Step: Ensure that the new drives are of the same capacity or larger than the existing drives in the DDP.

Reason: Consistent drive capacity ensures optimal performance and utilization.


Verify Security Type:

Step: Confirm that the new drives have a compatible security type (e.g., FDE, FIPS) with the existing drives.

Reason: Incompatible security types can lead to configuration issues or reduced security.
