A systems administrator is inspecting a file server setup with a RAID 10 configuration among four 160GB SAS drives. The administrator has replaced all of the drives with 500GB SAS drives. Which of…

A disk management tool allows the administrator to extend volumes, create new partitions, or resize existing ones after the RAID array recognizes the larger drives. Without using this tool, the additional capacity on the 500GB drives beyond the original 160GB boundary will remain unallocated and unusable. This is the appropriate next step to administer the physical change that was made.

A disk monitoring tool is used to track drive health and performance metrics, not to allocate or manage newly available storage capacity.

A disk cloning tool copies data from one disk to another and is not used to administer or expand storage after a drive replacement in an existing array.

A disk partitioning tool handles only the creation and sizing of partitions, which is a narrower function than what a full disk management tool provides for administering the overall change.
