How can Parker directly go to the corrupted spot identified by the Spot Verifier service? By using the /r option with the chkdsk command By using the /spotfix option with the chkdsk command By using the /c option with the chkdsk command By using the /x option with the chkdsk command
By using the /spotfix option with the chkdsk command
Tara, an administrator, has added storage devices to the storage pool and selected the RAID level for the virtual disk using Server Manager. She wishes to allocate more space than is required for the current amount of data such that the system only uses the actual space it needs, enabling the actual size to grow with data. What would you do to achieve Tara's wish? Create several thin-provisioned virtual disks Create several thick-provisioned virtual disks Create several fixed-provisioned virtual disks of combined capacity smaller than the storage pool Create several virtual disks of combined capacity smaller than the storage pool
Create several thin-provisioned virtual disks
What are the two main tools in Windows Server 2019 that you can use to create and manage local volumes and how do they differ?
Disk Management is used to create and manage partitions, simple volumes, and software RAID volumes that include up to 32 storage devices. Server Manager is used to create and manage partitions and simple volumes, as well as create software RAID volumes on an unlimited number of storage devices using the built-in Storage Spaces component of Windows Server 2019.
How will you configure an existing Windows Server 2019 system as an iSCSI SAN device?
Ensure the iSCSI target has been configured using the configuration tools provided by the device manufacturer. Use an iSCSI compatible ethernet cable and configure the iSCSI initiator on the Win19 server to connect to the name or IP of the SA
Merjem, a PhD student, is writing her thesis. She takes regular backup of her files and data. When taking backup, she chooses the Faster backup performance option in the Optimize Backup Performance window. Which of the following is true of the backup process in the given scenario? Every backup overwrites the previous backup. Every backup only backs up data that has been modified since the previous backup. The backup process will provide the fastest option at the time of restoring data. The backup process backs up the all the specified data every time.
Every backup only backs up data that has been modified since the previous backup.
Saif wants to create a backup of all his open files on Windows Server 2019. He does not wish to use third-party software to perform a backup on his system. Suggest an alternative for Saif to perform the backup.
He can use the Volume Shadow Copy Service, with the VSS full backup option selected
Imran is associating a drive letter to a filesystem so that the drive letter can be accessed by the operating system. What is the term given to the process that Imran is carrying out? Journaling Formatting Mounting Spanning
Mounting
While copying files between folders, it is possible to retrace and complete the transfer in case of a power failure if an NTFS-based filesystem is being used. The same cannot be said for a FAT32 filesystem. What do you think could be the reason for this difference? NTFS is a filesystem, while FAT32 is not. FAT32 keeps track of information being written, while NTFS does not. FAT32 is only used as a removable device, while NTFS is not. NTFS is a journaling filesystem, while FAT32 is not.
NTFS is a journaling filesystem, while FAT32 is not.
Madison is using the Backup Schedule Wizard from the Actions pane of the Windows Server Backup tool. He selects the backup configuration as Custom and specifies the items to be backed up. While adding the items to be backed up, he happens to select the System state option. What does this option create a backup of? Operating system settings The entire system Virtual hard disk files Boot and recovery volumes
Operating system settings
Rebecca is configuring a RAID with three storage devices. If she saves a file, the file will be divided into three sections, with each section written to separate storage devices concurrently, in a third of the amount of time it would take to save the entire file on one storage device. Which of the following RAID levels is Rebecca configuring? RAID level 0 RAID level 1 RAID level 2 RAID level 5
RAID level 0
What are the different RAID levels, and how are they different from each other?
RAID level 0: an individual file is divided into sections and saved concurrently on two or more storage devices, one section per storage device. RAID level 1: provides fault tolerance in the event of a storage device failure. In this RAID configuration, the same data is written to two separate storage devices at the same time. RAID level 2: no longer used, was a variant of RAID 0 that allowed for error and integrity checking on storage devices RAID level 3: striping with a parity bit to indicate what data is where, requires a minimum of three storage devices to function, with one of the storage devices used to store the parity information. RAID level 4: similar to RAID level 3 but with greater access speed because data is stored in blocks RAID level 5: replaces RAID levels 3 and 4, offers better performance and fault tolerance
Which of the following RAID level configurations is not supported by Windows Server 2019? RAID level 0 RAID level 1 RAID level 2 RAID level 5
RAID level 2
How do you create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks in the Disk Management tool? Right-click on the disk that you want to configure as a RAID volume and then click New Mirrored Volume to create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks Right-click on the disk that you want to configure as a RAID volume and then click New Spanned Volume to create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks Right-click on the disk that you want to configure as a RAID volume and then click New Striped Volume to create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks Right-click on the disk that you want to configure as a RAID volume and then click Shrink Volume to create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks
Right-click on the disk that you want to configure as a RAID volume and then click New Mirrored Volume to create a RAID level 1 volume with two disks
How is a simple volume created in Server Manager?
Right-click the Unallocated section next to Disk 1 Click New Simple Volume to open the New Simple Volume Wizard Follow the steps in the Wizard
One of the disks on your computer is running low on storage space. You notice that there is unallocated space in the spanned volume. How will you use the unallocated space to increase storage space? Right-click the volume, click Reactivate Volume once the storage device is available, and use the unallocated space Right-click the volume on that disk and click Extend Volume to increase the size of the volume using the unallocated space Right-click a RAID level 1 volume and click Remove Mirror to remove the volume while retaining the data from one disk you specify Right-click the system or boot partition in the Disk Management tool, click Add Mirror, and select the second storage device
Right-click the volume on that disk and click Extend Volume to increase the size of the volume using the unallocated space
Shaw, a server administrator, uses an iSCSI SAN protocol to transfer data to and from SAN devices at a speed of up to 40 Gb/s. He configures one of the SAN devices to provide storage to Jasper's Windows Server 2019 system. What should Jasper configure in his system to be able to connect to the storage? The iSCSI target The iSCSI initiator HBA MPIO
The iSCSI target
A server rack containing data files, databases, web content, etc. is stored on an external SAN, which is connected to the Windows Server 2019 operating system via iSCSI. Which of the following is not likely to be achieved with this configuration? Connection to Fibre Channel SAN devices Accessing multiple SAN devices Providing storage to other servers Using hardware RAID externally to provide fault tolerance
Using hardware RAID externally to provide fault tolerance
Which of the following is a term given to the software component in the operating system that connects to the SAN device via iSCSI? iSCSI target iSCSI initiator HBA MPIO

Sam, an administrator, sends out an HR policy file to Vicky, Mohammad, Charle, and Reena. They save the HR policy file on their home directories under a shared folder of Windows Server 2019 with different file names. As a result, the same copies of the file are present multiple times with different names. Reena opens and saves the file after making minor changes. What will happen to the files when Sam enables the Data Deduplication Service on Windows Server 2019? A copy of Reena's file is created with a new file name. All the files get deleted when the Data Deduplication Service is enabled. A new copy of Reena's file is created and associated with the same file name. None of the files are deleted as they have different file names.
A new copy of Reena's file is created and associated with the same file name.
