You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
On Server1, you open Computer Management as shown in the exhibit.(Click the Exhibit button.)
You need to ensure that you can create a 3-TB volume on Disk 1.
What should you do first?
A.
Create a storage pool.
B.
Convert the disk to a GPT disk.
C.
Convert the disk to a dynamic disk.
D.
Create a VHD, and then attach the VHD.
A GPT disk uses the GUID partition table (GPT) disk partitioning system. A GPT disk offers these benefits:
•Allows up to 128 primary partitions. Master Boot Record (MBR) disks can support up to four primary partitions and an additional 124 partitions inside extended partitions.
•Allows a much larger partition size–greater than 2 terabytes (TB), which is the limit for MBR disks.
•Provides greater reliability because of replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.
•Can be used as a storage volume on all x64-based platforms, including platforms running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a storage volume on x86-based Windows platforms.
•Can be used as a boot volume on x64-based editions of Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a boot volume on Itanium-based systems.
