You are planning the network file system for your OES NetWare server. You want to create two NSS volumes on your server: SYS for operating system files DATA for user files Your server has two 100 GB…

The correct answer is A. Yes, all NSS requirements have been met. NSS supports SCSI drives, allows multiple volumes on a server, and can span volumes across multiple physical drives, so the described design is valid.

Question

You are planning the network file system for your OES NetWare server. You want to create two NSS volumes on your server: SYS for operating system files DATA for user files Your server has two 100 GB SCSI hard disk drives. You want the SYS volume to be 8 GB in size and DATA to be about 190 GB in size. Will this design work?

Options

  • AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.
  • BNo, NSS doesn't support SCSI hard disk drives.
  • CNo, the SYS volume must be at least 10 GB in size.
  • DNo, you can't create multiple volumes on the same server.
  • ENo, you can't span an NSS volume across multiple hard disk drives.

Why each option

NSS supports SCSI drives, allows multiple volumes on a server, and can span volumes across multiple physical drives, so the described design is valid.

AYes, all NSS requirements have been met.Correct

NSS supports SCSI hard disk drives and allows NSS volumes to span across multiple physical hard disks using storage pools. Placing an 8 GB SYS volume on one drive and a 190 GB DATA volume spanning both drives is a supported and valid NSS configuration.

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

NSS fully supports SCSI hard disk drives; there is no such restriction.

CNo, the SYS volume must be at least 10 GB in size.

NSS does not enforce a minimum size of 10 GB for the SYS volume; 8 GB is an acceptable size.

DNo, you can't create multiple volumes on the same server.

OES NetWare supports multiple NSS volumes on the same server without restriction.

ENo, you can't span an NSS volume across multiple hard disk drives.

NSS volumes can span multiple hard disk drives through the use of storage pools, making cross-drive volumes fully supported.
