Microsoft Exam Questions

Which three actions should you perform in sequence?

DRAG DROP
You have a server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to create a volume that will remain online if two disks in the volume fail. The
solution must minimize the number of disks used to create the volume.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? (To answer, move the appropriate
three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.)

Answer: See the explanation.

Explanation:
Box 1: Add five physical disks.
Box 2: Create a virtual disk.
Box 3: Create a storage space by using the default disk allocation.

Windows Server 2012 R2 R2 introduces a parallelized repair process, where the remaining
healthy disks move around and take responsibility for the slabs of data that were stored on
the failed disk. It is extremely quick because all disks in the storage space are involved. The
recommendation is that instead of using hot spares, you instead use the disks that are spare
but active capacity in the storage space, that can be availed of by the parallelized repair
process. This will both offer more IOPS to normal production storage activity and leave your
business less vulnerable during a repair process
