You have a server that runs Windows Server 2016. The server contains a storage pool named
Pool1. Pool1 contains five physical disks named Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, Disk4 and Disk5. A virtual
disk named VirtualDisk1 is stored in pool1. VirtualDisk1 uses the panty storage layout Disk3 fails.
You need to remove Disk3 from Pool1. Which two commands should you run? Each correct answer
presents part of the solution.
A.
Update-StoragePool -FriendlyName Pool1
B.
Reset-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName Disk3
C.
Set-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName Disk 3 -Usage Retired
D.
Set-ResillencySetting -StoragePool Pool1 -PhysicalDiskRedundancyDefault
E.
Remove-PhysicalDisk -FriendlyName Disk3
Question clearly says “two commands”. It is C and E

Admin Pack is correct; C and E. The question states that we need to remove the disk from the pool. It does not tell us to repair or update….
so the firts command is to tell the pool to take the disk outof production

the we need to remove the disk from the pool
Remove-PhysicalDisk – Removes a physical disk from a specified storage pool.

@adminpack: you are right the question say “two commands”, but I’m not sure E is the right second command, because the command “Remove-PhysicalDisk” don’t have a parameter called “FriendlyName”: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/itpro/powershell/windows/storage/remove-physicaldisk
So maybe the second command should be A –> Update-Storagepool after we retired Disk3

Update-Storagepool is for upgrading an existing Server 2012 storagepool to 2012r2. So, this could not be the correct answer.
Remove-PhysicalDisk has an option: -VirtualDiskFriendlyName. Maybe this is what they meant?
Here is a good step by step how to remove a failed disk: https://hodgkins.io/replace-failed-disk-in-storage-spaces-pool-with-powershell
So, the answer should be: C and E, with E being a little bit wrong because of the “-FriendlyName” issue.

Is no one going to mention “panty storage”? I’m dying 😀

Answer is C and E, and that is also the answer in 4 different brain dumps. Now I do have 1 brain dump that said it was D and E. But going with C and E, after reading 2 different MCSA 2016 study guides that sounds correct.
