I/O Elevators refer to the I/O scheduling algorithms used in operating systems to control how I/O operations are submitted to storage12.These algorithms, also known as elevators, determine the order in which I/O requests from different processes or devices are serviced by the underlying hardware, such as hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs)12.The goal of these algorithms is to improve the efficiency of data access and reduce the time wasted by disk seeks3.
The other options provided are not typically referred to as I/O Elevators:
* Option OB, "The maximum number of consecutive 'sequential' I/Os allowed to be submitted to storage", refers to a specific parameter of a storage system, not an I/O Elevator4.
* Option OC, "Setting which controls for how long the ESX host attempts to login to the iSCSI target before failing the login", refers to a specific setting in ESXi host configuration, not an I/O Elevator567.
* Option OD, "The amount of SCSI commands (including I/O requests) that can be handled by a storage device at a given time", refers to the command handling capacity of a storage device, not an I/O Elevator89.
Therefore, the verified answer isA.I/O scheduling algorithm which controls how I/O operations are submitted to storage, as it accurately describes what I/O Elevators are according to the Dell XtremIO Design Achievement document10and other sources123.
