70-692 Question #1: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

The correct answer is A. From Disk Management, create a new spanned volume. B. From Disk Management, convert all of the 3-terabyte disks to GPT.. Create a Spanned VolumeA 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 additional disks to create a spanned volume, or you can create a spanned volume

Question

You have a Windows 8.1 Enterprise desktop computer. You add three new 3-terabyte disks. You need to create a new 9-terabyte volume.

Options

  • AFrom Disk Management, create a new spanned volume.
  • BFrom Disk Management, convert all of the 3-terabyte disks to GPT.
  • CFrom PowerShell, run the New-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
  • DFrom Disk Management, bring all disks offline.
  • EFrom Diskpart, run the Convert MBR command.
  • FFrom PowerShell, run the Add-PhysicalDisk cmdlet.

Explanation

Create a Spanned VolumeA 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 additional disks to create a spanned volume, or you can create a spanned volume in unallocated space on a dynamic disk. To create a spanned volume using the Windows interface 1. In Disk Management, right-click the unallocated space on one of the dynamic disks where you want to create the spanned volume. 2. Click New Spanned Volume. 3. Follow the instructions on your screen.Using GPT Drives A GPT disk uses the GUID partition table (GPT) disk partitioning system. A GPT disk offers these benefits:Allows up to 128 primary partitions. Master Boot Record (MBR) disks can support up to four primary partitions and an additional 124 partitions inside extended partitions. Allows a much larger partition size-greater than 2terabytes (TB), which is the limit for MBR disks. Provides greater reliability because of replication and cyclical redundancy check (CRC) protection of the partition table.Can be used as a storage volume on all x64-based platforms, including platforms running Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a storage volume on x86-based Windows platforms.Can be used as a boot volume on x64-based editions of Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008. Starting with Windows Server 2003 SP1, GPT disks can also be used as a boot volume on Itanium-based systems.Note: Windows only supports booting from a GPT disk on systems that contain Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot firmware.
