Which of the following statements are true of striped volumes? (Choose all that apply.)
  • 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 the data in the entire volume is lost.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [A, D]
Explanation :
A. Correct: Striping provides improved performance because each disk drive in the array has time to seek the location of its next stripe while the other drives are writing.
B. Incorrect: Striped volumes do not contain redundant data and therefore do not provide fault tolerance.
C. Incorrect: Striped volumes cannot be extended after creation without destroying the data stored on them in the process.
D. Correct: If a single physical disk in the striped volume fails, all the data in the entire volume is lost.

Which of the following statements best describes the requirements for extending a volume on a dynamic disk? (Choose all that apply.)
  • 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 (a raw volume) before you can extend a simple or spanned volume.
  • C.
    You can extend a simple or spanned volume if you formatted it by 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.
  • Answer & Explanation

Answer : [A, D]
Explanation :
A. Correct: When extending a simple volume, you can use only the available space on the same disk. If you extend the volume to another disk, it is no longer simple.
B. Incorrect: You can extend a simple or spanned volume, even if it does not have a file system (a raw volume).
C. Incorrect: You can extend a volume if you formatted it by using the NTFS file system. You cannot extend volumes by using the FAT or FAT32 file systems.
D. Correct: You can extend a simple volume across additional disks if it is not a system volume or a boot volume.

Which of the following volume types supported by Windows Server 2012 R2 provide fault tolerance? (Choose all that apply.)
  • A.
    Striped
  • B.
    Spanned
  • C.
    Mirrored
  • D.
    RAID-5
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [C, D]
Explanation :
A. Incorrect: A striped volume spreads data among multiple disks, but it writes the data only once. Therefore, it does not provide fault tolerance.
B. Incorrect: A spanned volume uses space on multiple drives, but it writes the data only once. Therefore, it does not provide fault tolerance.
C. Correct: A mirrored volume writes duplicate copies of all data to two disks, thereby providing fault tolerance.
D. Correct: A RAID-5 volume writes data and parity information on multiple disks, thereby providing fault tolerance.

  • A.
    SAN
  • B.

  • D.
    iSCSI
  • Answer & Explanation

A. Incorrect: A SAN is a separate network dedicated to storage and a JBOD is a drive array that can be installed on a SAN or on a standard network.
B. Incorrect: SCSI is disk interface, not a type of drive array.
C. Correct: A JBOD array is an alternative to a RAID array that treats each disk as an independent volume.
D. Incorrect: A JBOD array is not an alternative to iSCSI, which is a protocol used for SAN communications.
