How is the storage in a FlexVol volume acquired?

A FlexVol volume acquires its storage from a single associated aggregate. This model allows for efficient storage management and resource allocation within the storage system. By leveraging a single aggregate, the FlexVol volume can take advantage of the pool of disks and RAID groups that comprise that aggregate, ensuring optimized performance and data protection.

FlexVol volumes are designed to provide flexibility in terms of capacity, as they can be resized without affecting other volumes and can easily adapt to changing storage needs. Allocating storage from a single aggregate simplifies administrative tasks, as it provides a clear and straightforward association between the volume and its underlying resources.

The other options do not accurately describe how storage for a FlexVol volume is sourced, as FlexVol does not utilize dedicated storage pools, external storage sources, or directly acquire storage from cloud environments. These options suggest alternative configurations that are not aligned with the operational principles of FlexVol.
