What are the three primary uses for a FlexVol volume?

The primary uses for a FlexVol volume in a NetApp storage system include Node Root volumes, SVM (Storage Virtual Machine) Root volumes, and data volumes.

Node Root volumes are essential because they contain the operating system files and configuration information necessary for a storage node to function correctly. Each storage node has its own root volume that enables the node to operate and manage data efficiently.

SVM Root volumes serve a similar purpose at the SVM level. They house the management and configuration files required to operate the specific SVM, enabling the segregation of resources and functionality within the storage system to support multiple clients or applications.

Data volumes, the third use case, are utilized for storing user data. These volumes are designed to hold the actual data that applications generate and need to access. This separation between root volumes and data volumes optimizes performance and manageability within the storage environment.

The other options do not accurately reflect the primary uses of FlexVol volumes as they mix different types of volumes that do not align with the FlexVol architecture or the concept of volume management in NetApp systems.
