What should you include in the recommendation?

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012.
You have a 3-TB database that will be moved to Server1.
Server1 has the following physical disks:
Three 2-TB SATA disks that are attached to a single IDE controller
One 1 -TB SATA disk that is attached to a single IDE controller

You need to recommend a solution to ensure that the database can be moved to Server1.
The solution must ensure that the database is available if a single disk fails.

A.
Add each disk to a separate storage pool. Create a mirrored virtual disk.

B.
Add two disks to a storage pool. Add the other disk to another storage pool. Create a
mirrored virtual disk.

C.
Add all of the disks to a single storage pool, and then create two simple virtual disks.

D.
Add all of the disks to a single storage pool, and then create a parity virtual disk.

Parity A parity virtual disk is similar to a hardware Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks
(RAID5). Data, along with parity information, is striped across multiple physical disks. Parity
enables Storage Spaces to continue to service read and write requests even when a drive
has failed. A minimum of three physical disks is required for a parity virtual disk. Note that a
parity disk cannot be used in a failover cluster.
