You have a server that runs Windows Server 2012. The server contains the disks configured as shown in the
following table.
You need to create a volume that can store up to 3 TB of user files. The solution must ensure that theuser files
are available if one of the disks in the volume fails.
What should you create?
A.
a storage pool on Disk 2 and Disk 3
B.
a spanned volume on Disk 2 and Disk 3
C.
a mirrored volume on Disk 1 and Disk 3
D.
a mirrored volume on Disk 2 and Disk 3
E.
a RAID-5 volume on Disk 1, Disk 2, and Disk 3
F.
a storage pool on Disk 1 and Disk 3
G.
a spanned volume on Disk 0 and Disk 4
H.
a mirrored volume on Disk 1 and Disk 4
I think it´s D, not D E
Yes Mike, I think so too that good answer is only D because it is not possible to do a volume space of 3 TB on a disk with MBR table partition (limited to 2 TB)
On RAID-5 and Mirrored, all physical disks must be dynamic. Spanned does not provide faul tolerance.
So, B, C, E, F, G and H are wrong.
Another stupid question!! As Skudim points out the question states “Up to 3Tb” all these answers will give over 3Tb. There isn’t a correct answer to choose!!
You are both thinking in the right direction, but i don’t know what in the exam is right.
The only logic answer is D i am sure.
Yes Skudim that is totally right if you Need 3 TB disks, then you Need to build GPT disks.
I think “E” is also right answer.
We can calculate there are 3 disks, and each of disk has 2TB, than the RAID-5 storage has 4TB capacity.
No E is wrong answer, MBR cannot be more than 2TB
My choice is D. Mirrored volume on Disk 2 and Disk 3. Both Disks match, GPT and Dynamic.
Regarding answer E. RAID 5 on Disk 1, 2 and 3, it is not possible to have 4TB on MBR Partitions, so Disk 1 would have to be converted from MBR to GPT as well as Basic to Dynamic.
Answer E. would take more time to implement than answer D.

D:
Tried it and it works fine (mirror created, test file created on volume, disk removed from VM, disk and test file still there)
It should be D.
The correct answer is D because you can only do a raid configuration with the hard disk being dynamic only. To do a RAID 5 you have to convert disk 1 to a dynamic disk but the question doesn’t ask you to convert anything. You have to configure the fault tolerance with what you already have set. So all of the other answers are wrong for this question.
Here are a number of the internet sites we advocate for our visitors.
A is also a valid solution – you could create a storage pool containing disks 2 and 3.
From that storage pool, you can create a new 2-way mirror virtual disk (and then create a volume etc.). This would provide fault tolerance and a volume size greater than 3TB.
As others have said, E is possible but Disk 1 must be converted to a Dynamic disk beforehand (as Basic disks don’t support spanning, mirroring or RAID configs)
