NOS 230 CENGAGE Module 7 Review Quiz - storage

When initializing a new storage device that has a capacity larger than 2 TB, you must use a GPT instead of an MBR.

a. True

b. False

a. True

Incorrect. MBRs only support storage devices up to 2 TB in size. Thus, a GPT is required for storage devices that are larger than 2 TB.

You have configured a new storage pool in Server Manager that contains 5 storage devices and would like to configure a single virtual disk that uses all of the available capacity from this pool. What RAID type should you select in the New Virtual Disk Wizard if you wish to ensure that your virtual disk remains fault tolerant in the event that two storage devices fail at the same time?

a. Simple

b. Striped

c. Mirror

d. Parity

c.

When configuring the Storage Spaces component of Windows Server 2019 using Server Manager, which of the following statements is true? (Choose all that apply.)

a. The primordial storage pool contains all storage devices on a system

b. RAID volumes are created on a virtual disk that utilizes space in a storage pool comprised of storage devices

c. Virtual disks implement a level of RAID and can use thin or thick provisioning

d. The maximum number of storage devices that you can add to a single storage pool is 32

b.

c.

Which of the following are reasons for creating multiple volumes on a single storage device? (Choose all that apply.)

a. Allow for the use of more than one type of filesystem

b. Reduce the chance that filesystem corruption will render all data on the storage device unusable

c. Segregate different types of data

d. Speed up access to stored data by keeping filesystems as small as possible

all of the above

What two items must you configure using Server Manager in order to share storage to other systems using iSCSI?

a. iSCSI virtual disk

b. clustered storage pool

c. iSCSI target

d. iSCSI initiator

a.

c.

Another server administrator has configured an iSCSI SAN device to provide storage to your Windows Server 2019 system. What must you configure on your Windows Server 2019 system in order to connect to this storage?

a. iSCSI HBA

b. iSCSI initiator

c. iSCSI target

d. MPIO

b.

After noticing a RAID level 5 volume in Disk Management with a status of Failed Redundancy, you located and replaced the failed storage device with a new one. What must you do to return the volume status to Healthy?

a. Nothing, as the data will automatically be rebuilt on the new storage device

b. Right-click the RAID volume and click Reactivate Volume

c. Right-click the RAID volume, click Repair Volume, and select the new storage device

d. Delete and recreate the RAID volume, and then restore data from a backup

c.

Which of the following are requirements for each server in a Storage Spaces Direct configuration? (Choose all that apply.)

a. Failover Clustering feature installed

b. 64 GB of memory and at least two processors

c. At least six additional storage devices (two or more of which are SSDs)

d. 10 Gb Ethernet interface with RDMA support

a.

c.

d.

When creating a RAID volume using Server Manager, each storage device is automatically converted to a dynamic disk.

a. True

b. False

b. False

You wish to create a RAID level 5 volume using the Disk Management tool. How many storage devices can you use in the volume?

a. 3

b. 7

c. 32

d. There is no limit.

c.

By supplying the device driver for an FC HBA during a Windows Server 2019 installation, you can choose to install Windows Server 2019 on FC SAN storage instead of a local storage device.

a. True

b. False

a. True

Which of the following statements regarding backup performance options for Windows Server Backup are true? (Choose all that apply.)

a. Full backups provide the fastest restoration of data

b. Incremental backups take less time to perform than full backups

c. Up to 6 incremental backups can be performed following a full backup

d. Full backups back up files that have the archive attribute set

a.

b.

On systems that have a UEFI BIOS, the UEFI system partition is the boot partition.

a. True

b. False

b. False

Incorrect. Because the UEFI system partition contains the boot loader, it is also the system partition. The boot partition contains the operating system.

What name format is used to specify the iSCSI initiators that are permitted to connect to an iSCSI target?

a. IQN

b. FQDN

c. IDN

d. UNC

a. IQN

(iSCSI Qualified Name).

You can only run the chkdsk command on NTFS and ReFS filesystems.

a. True

b. False

b. False

Correct. Because ReFS does not exhibit corruption, ReFS filesystems cannot be checked for filesystem errors using any utility, including chkdsk.

When restoring a backup, you can choose to restore the data to a different location.

a. True

b. False

a. True

When you click the Optimize button for a simple volume in the Optimize Drives window, the underlying storage device is defragmented if it is a hard disk, or trimmed if it is an SSD.

a. True

b. False

a. True

Which service can be started on a system to reduce the amount of time it takes to repair filesystem errors?

a. Storage Spaces

b. Spot Verifier

c. Volume Repair

d. Data Deduplication

b.

Which of the following RAID volume types provide fault tolerance in the event of a single storage device failure? (Choose all that apply.)

a. striping

b. striping with parity

c. mirroring

d. JBOD

b.

c.

After storage tiers have been enabled for the storage used by a volume, you can use the Set-FileStorageTier cmdlet in Windows PowerShell to ensure that a specific file is always stored on a specified storage tier.

a. True

b. False

a. True
