Which method allows dividing storage volumes into extents?

Advanced Provisioning is the correct answer because it specifically includes functionality that allows the division of storage volumes into extents. This method facilitates the provisioning of storage more flexibly by enabling the allocation of portions of a logical volume, known as extents, to different applications or users. Advanced Provisioning is designed to enhance capacity and performance management, allowing better alignment with workload requirements and improving efficiency in resource utilization.

The ability to create extents enhances the overall volume management capabilities by providing dynamic allocation, which is essential for environments where resource needs can fluctuate. This method ensures that storage is used effectively and can adapt to changing demands.

Other options, while relevant to provisioning processes, do not focus on the specific capability of dividing storage volumes into extents. For example, EZ Provisioning typically addresses simpler or more automated provisioning tasks without the detailed management of volume extents. Storage Volume Encapsulation relates more to the encapsulation of storage volumes for specific use cases rather than managing extents directly. The Provision from Storage Volumes Wizard guides users through the provisioning process but does not inherently provide the advanced features needed for dividing volumes into extents.
