Your customer has four disk shelves attached to an HA pair of nodes running clustered Data
ONTAP 8.3. One disk shelf has six SSDs and 18 HDDs installed. They want to know how to
partition the SSDs to use them in a flash pool aggregate.
In this situation, what should you tell the customer?
A.
Flash pool aggregates must have whole SSDs assigned, not partitions.
B.
When the disks are assigned to a storage pool, they are automatically partitioned into four
equal parts that can be assigned to an existing aggregate where the partition will be used as flash
storage by the assigned aggregate.
C.
All SSDs in a mixed disk system are partitioned to a 25% and a 75% partition. The larger
partition can be used for data.
D.
When the disks are assigned to a storage pool, you can partition each disk into as many
partitions as needed. A partition can be assigned to an existing aggregate where the partition will
be used as a flash storage by the assigned aggregate.

Correct Answer A
A value of ‘shared’ in the Container Type column means that the physical disk is partitioned. In order for these disks to be spare (and available for use in a Flash Pool), the disks will need to be unpartitioned.
