FlexVol volumes are stored within which of the following?

FlexVol volumes are stored within aggregates. An aggregate is a logical container that consists of physical disks and provides the underlying storage for FlexVol volumes. Aggregates manage the physical storage resources, pooling them to create efficient, flexible, and scalable storage volumes that can be resized and managed independently.

FlexVols take advantage of the aggregate's storage capabilities, allowing for advanced features such as space efficiency and thin provisioning. By being housed in aggregates, FlexVol volumes can leverage the performance and capacity of the underlying physical disks, optimizing storage usage and providing flexibility to meet varying workloads.

This relationship is fundamental to the design of NetApp's architecture, enabling efficient data management while maintaining high availability and performance. The other options, while related to storage concepts, do not specifically denote the structure that directly contains FlexVol volumes.
