The correct answer is A. Yes, all NSS requirements have been met. NSS supports IDE drives, multiple volumes on the same physical drive, and does not require the SYS volume to be a Traditional volume, so the described design is valid.

File System and Storage Management

Question

You're designing a network file system for your company. You want to create three NSS volumes: SYS for operating system files and utilities, DATA for storage of user files, and WEB for storing web server content. Your server has one IDE 200 GB hard disk drive. Will this design work?

Options

  • AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.
  • BNo, NSS doesn't support IDE hard disk drives.
  • CNo, the SYS volume must be a Traditional volume.
  • DNo, web server content must reside on the SYS volume.
  • ENo, NSS doesn't support hard drives with more than 1024 cylinders.
  • FNo, NSS can't support multiple volumes on the same physical drive.

Why each option

NSS supports IDE drives, multiple volumes on the same physical drive, and does not require the SYS volume to be a Traditional volume, so the described design is valid.

AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.Correct

NSS fully supports IDE hard disk drives and allows multiple volumes (SYS, DATA, WEB) to coexist on a single physical disk. There is no requirement that the SYS volume be a Traditional volume in OES NetWare, making all stated design criteria valid.

BNo, NSS doesn't support IDE hard disk drives.

NSS does support IDE hard disk drives; there is no such restriction in OES NetWare.

CNo, the SYS volume must be a Traditional volume.

The SYS volume can be an NSS volume on OES NetWare; it does not need to be a Traditional volume.

DNo, web server content must reside on the SYS volume.

Web server content has no requirement to reside on the SYS volume; it can be placed on any NSS volume.

ENo, NSS doesn't support hard drives with more than 1024 cylinders.

NSS has no limitation based on cylinder count; that was a legacy BIOS constraint, not an NSS restriction.

FNo, NSS can't support multiple volumes on the same physical drive.

NSS can support multiple volumes on the same physical drive using storage pools.
