Lesson 3

What scenario would an organization prefer centralized servers and storage to having individual servers and storage per department? *a.* Each department typically works its own applications and documents, rarely needing access to other departments. *b.* Each department typically works with its own applications and documents, occasionally needing access to other departments. *c.* Everyone in the organization works with his or her own individual resources. *d.* Everyone in the organization works with the same set of resources.

*a.* Each department typically works its own applications and documents, rarely needing access to other departments.

Which of the following are requirements for extending a volume on a dynamic disk? *a.* If you want to extend a simple volume, you can use only the available space on the same disk, if the volume is to remain simple. *b.* The volume must have a file system before you can extend a simple or spanned volume. *c.* You can extend a simple or spanned volume if you formatted it using the FAT or FAT32 file systems. *d.* You can extend a simple volume across additional disks if it is not a system volume or a boot volume.

*a.* If you want to extend a simple volume, you can use only the available space on the same disk, if the volume is to remain simple. *d.* You can extend a simple volume across additional disks if it is not a system volume or a boot volume.

Concerning storage solutions, select the disk configuration that offers the least expensive disk configuration. *a.* Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD) *b.* Disk mirroring *c.* RAID 5 *d.* RAID 3

*a.* Just a Bunch of Disks (JBOD)

Which of the following RAID levels yields the largest percentage of usable disk space? *a.* RAID 0 *b.* RAID 1 *c.* RAID 5 *d.* RAID 6

*a.* RAID 0

Which of the following volume types supported by Windows Server 2012 do not provide fault tolerance? (Choose all that apply) *a.* Striped *b.* Spanned *c.* Mirrored *d.* RAID-5

*a.* Striped *b.* Spanned

Which of the following statements are true of striped volumes? *a.* Striped volumes provide enhanced performance over simple volumes *b.* Striped volumes provide greater fault tolerance than simple volumes *c.* You can extend striped volumes after creation *d.* if a single physical disk in the striped volume fails, all of the data in the entire volume is lost

*a.* Striped volumes provide enhanced performance over simple volumes *d.* if a single physical disk in the striped volume fails, all of the data in the entire volume is lost

What is the next step after creating a virtual hard disk (VHD)? *a.* Mounting it either through Server Manager or the Disk Management snap-in *b.* Initializing the disk and creating volumes on it, just as you would a physical disk *c.* Using the VHD (creation of the VHD file readies the disk for storage) *d.* Mounting the VHD file to a Hyper-V virtual machine

*b.* Initializing the disk and creating volumes on it, just as you would a physical disk

Which of the following are not true in reference to converting a basic disk to a dynamic disk? *a.* You cannot convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk if you need to dual boot the computer *b.* You cannot convert drives with volumes that use an allocation unit size greater than 512 bytes. *c.* A boot partition or system partition on a basic disk cannot be extended into a striped or spanned volume, even if you convert the disk to a dynamic disk *d.* The conversion will fail if the hard drive does not have at least 1 MB of free space or the end of the disk.

*b.* You cannot convert drives with volumes that use an allocation unit size greater than 512 bytes.

Concerning storage solutions, select the disk configuration that offers the most protection in case of drive failure. *a.* RAID 0 *b.* RAID 1 *c.* RAID 5 *d.* Large volume on a single drive

*c.* RAID 5

To use Shadow Copies, you must enable the feature at which of the following levels? *a.* the file level *b.* the folder level *c.* the volume level

*c.* the volume level

Which of the following are not true about the differences between network attached storage (NAS) devices and storage area network (SAN) devices? *a.* NAS devices provide a file system implementation; SAN devices do not. *b.* NAS devices must have their own processor and memory hardware; SAN devices do not require these components *c.* NAS devices require a specialized protocol, such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI; SAN devices use standard networking protocols. *d.* NAS devices must run their own operating system and typically provide a web interface for administrative access; SAN devices do not have to have either one.

*d.* NAS devices must run their own operating system and typically provide a web interface for administrative access; SAN devices do not have to have either one.

What is a key advantage of Server Manager over the Disk Management snap-in? *a.* The Server Manager now offers disk-related functions from the navigational pane. *b.* Server Manager is more user-friendly. *c.* The Disk Management snap-in enables you to create VHD files and mount them on the computer *d.* Server Manager can perform many of the same functions for servers all over the network.

*d.* Server Manager can perform many of the same functions for servers all over the network.

Which of the following Windows Server 2012 features enables users to access files that they have accidentally overwritten? *a.* Offline files *b.* parity-based RAID *c.* Windows Installer 4.0 *d.* Volume Shadow Copies

*d.* Volume Shadow Copies

A JBOD drive array is an alternative to which of the following? *a.* SAN *b.* SCSI *c.* RAID *d.* iSCSI

*d.* iSCSI
