10.1.9 Practice Questions

Srv7 has a single 500 GB hard disk installed. A single volume named System uses all 100 GB on the disk and holds the operating system and system files. Configure disk storage as follows: Create a second volume named Data that is 1 TB in size. Add fault tolerance to both the System and the Data volumes. Provide increased performance to both volumes, if possible. You will add additional 1 TB hard disks to the system as necessary to meet these goals. You want to add the minimum number of hard disks. How many disks should you add?

Srv7 currently has a single hard disk. The System volume takes up the entire hard disk. You need to create a new volume named Data for storing files used by applications running on the server. You want the new volume to optimize performance. Fault tolerance is not necessary for this volume. What should you do?

Add two hard disks. Convert both disks to dynamic. Create a new striped volume using both disks.

Srv8 has the disk configuration shown in the image. You would like to add fault tolerance and improve performance for the Data volume. What should you do?

Back up the Data volume. Delete the existing Data volume. Convert all disks to dynamic disks. Create a RAID 5 volume using the three hard disks. Restore the Data volume to the new volume.

Srv12 has the disk configuration shown in the image. The System volume is running out of space. You have already tried moving everything non-essential from the System volume to the Data volume, but several applications must be installed on the System volume and cannot be moved. You need to add space to the System volume. What should you do?

Create a new volume on Disk 1 and mount the volume to an empty folder on the System volume.

The company's CIO has asked you to consolidate services and servers to span four member servers. The two additional member servers, CORP05 and CORP06, will be reconfigured and shipped to a remote office. Each of the six member servers contains two disks configured as dynamic. You need to relocate the second disk from CORP05 and CORP06 to CORP03 and CORP04 to retain the stored user data. You have removed the second disk from CORP05 and CORP06 using Device Manager. You added the disks to CORP03 and CORP04. What should you do next?

Import the disks.

You are getting ready to install a new Windows server as a domain controller. You would like to implement a storage solution for the new server so that the system volume remains available in the event of a single disk or disk controller failure. If possible, you would also like to improve disk access performance. What should you do?

Install two hard disks, each on a different disk controller. Create a RAID 1 volume for the system volume.

Which of the following does a dynamic disk use to store information about partitions on the disk?

LDM

The GUID partition table, or GPT, was created as a replacement for which partitioning scheme?

MBR

Srv8 has the disk configuration shown in the image. You convert all disks to dynamic disks. If possible, you would like to add fault tolerance and improve performance for the Data volume. What should you do?

Mirror the existing volume using Disk 1.

Which of the following volume types seeks to optimize performance by writing data across all disks in the volume simultaneously?

Striped volume
