Which attribute identifies the location within the storage system for a LUN?

• A. The path to the LUN
• B. The size of the LUN
• C. The host operating system of the system attached to the LUN
• D. The version of Data ONTAP

Answer: (A)

Identifying where a LUN sits inside the storage system is done by its path in the storage namespace. The path specifies the exact location—typically the volume and the LUN name—so the system knows where the LUN is stored and how to present it to hosts. The size describes capacity, not where the LUN is located. The host operating system is outside the storage system’s internal layout, and the Data ONTAP version is a software detail, not a location attribute. For example, a path like /vol/vol1/lun01 points to the LUN named lun01 within volume vol1.
