What will happen if an administrator selects a device that adds 200.01GB as a second extent?

1. Datastore will grow up to 200.01GB using the remaining free space on the device.

2. Datastore will add 200.01GB by adding the device as a second extent.

3. The device size can be expanded to be larger than 200.01 GB in size.

4. The device is not suitable for this operation.

The correct answer is: Datastore will grow up to 200.01GB using the remaining free space on the device.

The scenario involves adding a second extent to a datastore, which allows the datastore to grow by utilizing additional physical storage. When an administrator selects a device that adds 200.01GB, the datastore's capacity will not automatically increase to use the free space on the device; instead, the datastore will expand to include the full size of the new extent, which in this case is the entirety of 200.01GB. In this process, the datastore essentially becomes a combination of the existing storage and the new device added as an extent. This means that the datastore's overall capacity will increase by the amount of the second extent, effectively making the total size equal to the sum of the original datastore size and the new extent added (200.01GB). The other considerations present challenges: - If the datastore were to grow using only remaining free space, it would not utilize the full potential of the new extent. - The claim that the device size could be expanded does not factor into this specific operation of adopting the new extent; it's about how the datastore increases in size upon addition. - If a device is deemed unsuitable, that would imply no operation could occur, which contradicts what is being discussed here, as the context already involves the successful selection of an
