You work as a senior administrator at Contoso.com. The Contoso.com network consists of a single domain named Contoso.com. All servers on the Contoso.com
network have Windows Server 2012 installed.
You are running a training exercise for junior administrators. You are currently discussing spanned volumes.
Which of the following is TRUE with regards to spanned volumes? (Choose all that apply.)
A.
Spanned volumes do not provide fault tolerance.
B.
Spanned volumes are a fault tolerant solution.
C.
You can extend a spanned volume onto a maximum of 16 dynamic disks.
D.
You cannot create a spanned volume using a system volume or boot volume.
Explanation:
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 canextend it across additional disks (up to 32 total) to create a spanned volume, or you can create a spanned volume in unallocated space on a dynamic disk.
You need at least two dynamic disks in addition to the startup disk to create a spanned volume. You can extend a spanned volume onto a maximum of 32 dynamic
disks.
Spanned volumes are not fault tolerant.
