What are the two benefits of using sub-LUN tiering? (Choose two.)

  1. Simplified storage management
  2. Reduced need for storage tiering policies
  3. Cost optimization
  4. Granular control over data placement
  5. Reduced need for storage capacity

Answer(s): C,D

Explanation:

Sub-LUN tiering moves only portions of a LUN (at the block level) to different performance tiers. This allows frequently accessed blocks to be placed on high-performance storage while less active blocks remain on lower-cost storage. As a result, it optimizes costs and provides fine-grained control over where data resides.
