You have two Windows Server 2016 computers with the Hyper-V role installed. Both computers have two hard drives, one for the system volume and the other for data. One server, HyperVTest, is going to be used mainly for testing and what-if scenarios, and its data drive is 250 GB. You estimate that you might have 8 or 10 VMs configured on HyperVTest with two or three running at the same time. Each test VM has disk requirements ranging from about 30 GB to 50 GB. The other server, HyperVApp, runs in the data center with production VMs installed. Its data drive is 500 GB. You expect two VMs to run on HyperVApp, each needing about 150 GB to 200 GB of disk space. Both are expected to run fairly disk-intensive applications. Given this environment, describe how you would configure the virtual disks for the VMs on both servers.
Suppose you have been asked by a business to support an older legacy system that they need to stay running. To keep this system running you need to install an extra older hard drive that the company has. The drive is a Maxtor Quantum Fireball Plus AS 20.5-GB hard drive. You want the drive to be the slave drive, and you know that you must change the current jumper settings. The four jumpers on the drive are labeled DS, CS, PK, and Rsvd. The description of the jumpers doesn't tell you how to set the jumpers so the drive is the slave. The documentation is not physically available. What do you do? What jumpers need to be set to have the drive function as a slave drive? How do you know? Where did you find this information?
You have a report of a customer with a Hard Disk Drive with bad sectors on /dev/sdr, what would you do to confirm the serial number and identify the disk with bad sectors? If it was in a Linux RAID, what commands would you run to remove it from the array and add a new disk?
You are planning to install Windows 10 on a computer in a dual-boot configuration. The computer already has Windows 8 installed. You open Disk Management and discover there is one hard drive with an EFI System Partition, a primary partition with plenty of free space, and no unallocated space. In Disk Management, how can you prepare the drive to hold the Windows 10 installation? a. There’s nothing more to do in Disk Management. Close the windows and begin the installation. b. Shrink the EFI System Partition and create a new partition for Windows 10. c. Shrink the primary partition and create a simple volume for Windows 10. d. Shrink the primary partition and create a new basic disk for Windows 10.
Using a RAID array to create live backups of physical hard drives is a way for increasing the available capacity of the hard drive. Alternatively, are you willing to sacrifice half of your available disc space for backup? Which kind of RAID is the best solution for a home computer system that has regular power outages that might result in hard disc failures?
You are considering upgrading a Windows Server 2019 server with additional storage. The OS is installed on Disk 0 which is configured as a basic disk. You want to add two more disks for user documents and you want the disks to be configured for fault tolerance. What should you do? a. Create a RAID 5 volume from Disk 0, Disk 1, and Disk 2. b. Create a RAID 1 volume from Disk 1 and Disk 2. c. Convert the new disks to GPT. Create a spanned volume using Disk 1 and Disk 2. d. Convert Disk 0 to dynamic. Create a striped volume using Disk 0, Disk 1, and Disk 2.
A method for doing live backups of physical hard drives is to set up a RAID array, albeit doing so will lower the hard drive's capacity. Would you rather have backup at the cost of using up half your disk space, as an alternative? Which kind of RAID is the best option for a home computer system that often experiences power outages that might cause hard disk failures?
Your supervisor asked you to up a RAID hard drive array in a tower system, which has a motherboard that uses the B360 chipset. You have installed the required three matching hard drives to hold the array. When you enter BIOS/UEFI to configure the RAID, you cannot find the menus for the RAID configuration. What is most likely the problem?

You work as a PC technician for a local insurance company and your boss believes you are really bright and can solve just about any problem he throws at you. Employees in the company have complained one too many times that the file server downtime is hurting their jobs and productivity. Your boss wants you to figure out what hardware is needed to implement hardware RAID for fault tolerance. You check the file server's configuration and discover it has a single hard drive using a SATA connection with Windows Server 2012 installed. There are four empty bays in the computer case and four extra SATA power cords. You also discover an empty PCIe x 4 slot on the motherboard. BIOs setup does not have a built in RAID option. Research what RAID is and what it does if you do not remember what was covered in TestOut. Write at least 2 paragraphs about RAID and it's different functions. Decide what will need to be purchased and provide links to the items that must be purchased to make this…
What does it mean when an OS user says their hard drives use a "RAID structure"? Which RAID configurations perform the best?
It's possible that the amount of free space on a hard disc is affected by how often live backups are performed using RAID. Is it still advisable to create a backup if doing so eats up half of your available disc space? Which RAID setup should a home computer have to prevent hard drives from failing due to frequent power outages?
