You have a server named Server1.Server1 runs Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 has a thin provisioned disk named Disk1.
You need to expand Disk1.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
A.
From File and Storage Services, extend Disk1.
B.
From File and Storage Services, add a physical disk to the storage pool.
C.
From Disk Management, extend the volume.
D.
From Disk Management, delete the volume, create a new volume, and then format the volume.
E.
From File and Storage Services, detach Disk1.
Explanation:
Step 1 (B): if required add physical disk capacity.
Step 2 (A): Dynamically extend the virtual disk (not volume). The File and Storage Services role and the
Storage Services role service are installed by default, but without any additional role services. This basic
functionality enables you to use Server Manager or Windows PowerShell to manage the storage functionality of
your servers.
Answer A&B is OK.
Awanderlei is on the right way:
A thin provisioned disk will be created with storage spaces.
When a storage space is created as “simple” (Without mirroring or parity) you just add one more Physical HDD to the storage space and then you can expand the drive as expected in Answer “A”
Don’t mix up “thin provisioned disk” with expandable VHDX!
Don’t mix up Extend Volume (This is the part you can use in your File Explorer e.g extend drive e: from 400GB to 450 GB) with extend disk (As I told you, this is only used in storage spaces)
