Question 1 of 94
You want to create a data volume on aggr0 and you receive a message with the following warning:
''Warning: You are about to create a volume on a root aggregate. This may cause severe performance or stability problems and therefore is not recommended. Do you want to proceed?''
What is the reason for this severe performance or stability problem?
Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is B.

One possibly cause is Disk I/O contention on the data volume.
The root volume in Cluster-Mode is used to store and update various tables of the replicated database. Crucial information regarding the locations of LIFs, volumes, aggregates, and different jobs required to run in the cluster are stored in these tables. If a root aggregate has very busy data volumes, the disks in the aggregate will experience higher latency. When a node is unable to update its copy of the replicated database fast enough, it will consider itself unhealthy and stop serving all the data until it can catch up. This is extremely disruptive and affects all the volumes on the node, even if the cause is related to the data volumes stored on the root aggregate only.
