TestOut PC Pro - 5.7 Storage Spaces

What happens when you connect an external hard drive to a Windows PC?

• Windows automatically partitions the new hard drive.

• Windows automatically assigns an available drive letter.

• Windows automatically initializes (formats) the new hard drive.

• 
  

  Windows automatically assigns the new drive to a pool.

On a Windows workstation, you want to use the Storage Spaces feature to create a logical drive. Which of the following components are used to configure Storage Spaces? (Select three.)

• Storage devices, which are physical drives such as SATA drives or external drives.

• Storage pools, which are logically created from free space on storage devices.

• Mirrored data resiliency, which provides storage redundancy.

• Storage space, which is a logically defined unit created from a storage pool.

• Parity, which allows you to reconstruct data if device failure occurs.

Windows features a storage solution called Storage Spaces. What is the name of the Storage Spaces feature that allows you to allocate space for redundant information using options that include two-way mirroring, three-way mirroring, and parity? NOTE: Use all lower case letters.

(a)  

When you configure Storage Spaces in Windows, you can include information redundancy with a feature called data resiliency.

Match each type of data resiliency with the appropriate description .

• Three-way mirror

• Requires at least three storage devices.

• Simple

• Requires at least two storage devices.

• Parity

• Requires at least five storage devices.

• Two-way mirror

• Does not provide redundancy.

• Simple

• Does not provide protection from a single storage device failure.

Which of the following tasks does Windows Storage Spaces eliminate the need for? (Select two.)

• Drive repartitioning

• 
  

  Defragmentation

• Volume resizing

• Hard drive formatting

• Disk cleanup

List the steps you need to follow to add more disk space to a storage space in Windows. Drag the correct step to the correct step number .

• Allocate space from the storage pool to an existing storage space.

• Install a new storage device on the system.

• Add free space on a new storage device to a storage pool.

Which of the following indicates that a drive is unavailable when you check the status of a hard drive? (Select two.)

• Bad

• 
  

  Caution

• Failed

• 
  

  Down

• 
  

  Uncertain

You have a thin-provisioned storage space that suddenly unmounts.

What is the MOST likely cause of this problem?

• The storage space has run out of disk space.

• One of the disks in the storage space pool has crashed.

• The storage space has become corrupted.

• A new storage device has been added to the pool.

You want to set up storage spaces for several employees in your company with a maximum allocation of 100 gigabytes per drive. However, you only have 500 gigabytes of available space left in the pool where you want to create the storage spaces.

Which Storage Spaces feature can you use to allocate more space than what is actually available?

• 
  

  Pools

• Thin provisioning

• Partition shrinking

• 
  

  Data resiliency

What is the minimum number of storage devices you need in order to implement three-way mirroring for a storage space?

• 
  

  Seven

• Three

• 
  

  Two

• 
  

  Five
