How much storage space is reserved on a storage device to convert a storage disk to a dynamic disk using a Windows tool?

1 MB

Which of the following is a requirement for using Storage Spaces Direct?

A 10 GB Ethernet network interface with remote-direct memory access (RDMA) support is a must.

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 new copy of Reena's file is created and associated with the same file name.

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

You are asked to create seven partitions in a storage device that uses an MBR. The device already has two partitions. However, you are also told that you cannot create more than a certain number of partitions on the storage device using an MBR. What would your next step be?

Create the partitions and label one of the partitions as extended

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 only backs up data that has been modified since the previous backup.

Zuber is configuring Windows Server 2019 as an iSCSI SAN device. He has successfully created an iSCSI virtual disk and a new iSCSI target. He is trying to connect his system to the new iSCSI target but he is facing a connection issue. What must be the cause for the connection issue?

IQN is not present in the access server list.

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 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

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

Which of the following RAID level configurations is not supported by Windows Server 2019?

RAID level 2

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 on that disk and click Extend Volume to increase the size of the volume using the unallocated space

Identify the option that can be used to create storage pools that include storage devices from different servers on a network.

Storage Spaces Direct

Nadia uses the Disk Management tool to create a simple volume in one of the disks. She specifies the simple volume size and chooses a drive letter. While selecting the formatting options, she modifies the default allocation unit size. What will happen if the allocation unit size is large?

The performance of file sharing applications will increase.

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?

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 Initiator

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?

iSCSI Target

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?

mounting
