False, partitioning occurs on a single hard drive's tracks and sectors |
|
What is the difference between a basic and dynamic disk? |
A basic disk uses traditional disk management techniques, while a dynamic disk does not. Dynamic disks are more flexible. |
|
(T/F) A volume may consist of one or more partitions |
True |
|
What is the difference between Master Boot Record (MBR) and Globally Unique Identifier Partition Table (GPT)? |
MBR has a smaller physical limit for partition size (2TB). MBR also limits the amount of partitions on the disk. |
|
_________ _________ is the ability of a system to gradually recover from hardware or software failure |
Fault Tolerance |
|
(T/F) The operating system boots from the basic disk |
False, boot occurs from the active partition |

|
What is the name of the program used to backup from older Windows 2003 backups? |

|
What is a Storage Area Network (SAN)? |
A SAN is a grouping of storage devices that forms a subnet. The SAN is available to any server on the main network. |
|
(T/F) iSCSI SANs are supported in WS2008 through Storage Manager |
True |
|
What RAID levels do dynamic disks support? |
RAID 0, RAID1, RAID5 |
|
What is the minimum number of disks for RAID-5? |
3 |
|
(T/F) RAID-0 (data striping) extends the life of disks while providing fault tolerance in the event of drive failure |
False |
|
Disk __________ provides additional fault tolerance by placing a backup disk on a separate controller than the main disk |
duplexing |
|
Multipath I/O and the Device Specific Module (DSM) provide multiple configuration modes to increase fault tolerance between the server and a _____________ |
storage array |
|

|
What tool allows an administrator improve disk performance after deleting files? |
Disk Defragmenter |
|
(T/F) A LUN can be setup using the Disk Management tool |
False, LUNs are Logical Unit Numbers for SCSI drives in SANs, and can be configured using Storage Manager |
|
