Storage Services server role installed.
You attach four 500-GB disks to Server1.
You need to configure the storage to meet the following requirements:
Storage for an application named Application1 must be provided. Application1 requires 20 GB and
will require a maximum of 800 GB in three years.
Storage for an application named Application2 must be provided. Application2 requires 20 GB and
will require a maximum of 900 GB in three years.
The solution must provide the ability to dynamically add storage without requiring configuration
changes to the applications.
The storage must be available if a single disk fails.

  1. soma says:

    C.create a storage pool (with Parity Layout)
    because we need:
    1. “the ability to dynamically add storage without requiring configuration
    changes to the applications”
    2. “The storage must be available if a single disk fails”

    B.thin provisioning.
    because we need:
    1. “will require a maximum of 800 GB in three years”
    2. “will require a maximum of 900 GB in three years”

  2. Nelson says:

    – If we create a new Virtual Disk with 4 500Gb Disk, fixed provisioning and faul tolerance (Storage Layout Parity) maximal capacity is 1,46Tb. I just tested it for sure. Even if we use this option storage is yet not enough.
    – They also ask about: “The solution must provide the ability to dynamically add storage without requiring configuration changes to the applications.”
    After reading that, Why using fixed provisioning? We will waste that space and the question is not asking for it.
    So, for me is B + C
