You have a server named Server 1. Server1 runs Windows Server 2012.
Server1 has a thin provisioned disk named Disk1.
You need to expand Disk1.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correctanswer 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 anew 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).
Windows Server 2012 Storage Space subsystem now virtualizes storage by abstracting multiple physical
disksinto a logical construct with specified capacity. The process is to group selected physical disksinto a
container,the so-called storage pool, such that thetotal capacity collectively presented by those associated
physicaldisks can appear and become manageable as asingle and seemingly continuous space. Subsequently
astorage administrator creates a virtual disk basedon a storage pool, configure a storage layout which
isessentially a RAID level, and expose the storage of the virtual disk as a drive letter or a mapped folder
inWindows Explorer.
The system administrator uses File and Storage Services in Server Manager or the Disk Management tool
torescan the disk, bring the disk online, and extend the disk size.
