You have a desktop computer that runs Windows 8 Enterprise. You add three new 3-terabyte disks. You need
to create a new 9-terabyte volume.Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
From Disk Management, create a new spanned volume.
B.
From Disk Management, convert all of the 3-terabyte disks to GPT.
C.
From PowerShell, run the New-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
D.
From Disk Management, bring all disks offline.
E.
From Diskpart, run the Convert MBR command.
F.
From PowerShell, run the Add-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.
Explanation:
B: GPT disks can grow to a very large size. The maximum partition(and disk) size is a function of the operating
system version. Windows XP and the original release of Windows Server 2003 have a limit of 2TB per physical
disk, including all partitions. For Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x64 edition, and later versions, the
maximum raw partition of 18 exabytes can be supported.
A: A spanned volume is a dynamic volume consisting of disk space on more than one physical disk. If a simple
volume is not a system volume or boot volume, you can extend it across additionaldisks to create a spanned
volume, or you can create a spanned volume in unallocated space on a dynamic disk. You can make a
spanned volume of GPT disks.
IncorrectAnswers:
C: We should create a spanned volume, not a new virtual disk.
D: There is no needto bring the disks offline.
E: 2 terabytes (TB) is the limit for MBR disks.
