An administrator setting up software RAID 1 on a Windows Server with two volumes for two separate hard drives, but the option for mirrored is grayed out. Which of the following is the MOST likely…

In Windows Server, software RAID 1 (mirrored volumes) can only be created on dynamic disks. If the disks are configured as basic disks, the option to create a mirrored volume will be grayed out until the disks are converted to dynamic disks.

The size of the page file is unrelated to the ability to create mirrored volumes in Windows Server; disk type (basic vs. dynamic) is the crucial factor.

If the disks were already set up as dynamic, the option for mirroring would typically be available, not grayed out, making this choice incorrect as a reason for the option being unavailable.

Windows Server absolutely supports software RAID 1 (mirrored volumes) as a built-in feature, provided the disks are correctly configured as dynamic disks.
