Review the Available Capacity:According to the exhibit, the volume group has a total of 17820.00 GiB capacity, out of which 5532.00 GiB is the current free capacity. However, it is split into two free capacity areas of 15120.00 GiB and 2412.00 GiB.

Identify the Challenge:The requested volume of 5532 GiB cannot be created directly from the current free capacity because it is not contiguous; it's split into two separate areas.

Consolidate the Capacity:To create the volume, the administrator needs to consolidate the free capacity. This involves merging the non-contiguous free spaces to form a contiguous space large enough for the 5532 GiB volume.

Procedure for Consolidation:

Access the volume group management settings.

Select the option to consolidate free capacity areas.

Follow the prompts to merge the two free capacity areas into a single contiguous space.

Create the Volume:Once the free capacity is consolidated, proceed to create the 5532 GiB volume from the newly formed contiguous free space.
