Planning Storage Solutions 1) Which of the following statements are true of striped volumes?

a. Stripped volumes provide enhanced performance over simple volumes b. Striped volumes provide greater fault tolerance than simple volume c. You can extend stripped volumes after creation d. If a single physical disk in the striped volume fails, all of the data in the entire volume is lost

2) Which of the following are requirements for extending a volume on a dynamic disk?

a. If you want to extend a simple volume, you can use only the available space on the same disk, if the volume is to remain simple. b. The volume must have a file system (a raw volume) before you can extend a simple or spanned volume. c. You can extend a simple or spanned volume if you formatted it using the FAT or FAT 32 file systems. d. You can extend a simple volume across additional disks if it is not a system volume or a boot volume

3) Which of the following is the application layer protocol used for all communications between Internet Storage Name Services clients and services?

a. iSCSI b. iSNSP c. IP d. FCP

4) Which of the following is not true in reference to converting a basic disk to a dynamic disk?

a. You cannot convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk if you need to dual boot the computer b. You cannot convert drives with volumes that use an allocation unit size greater than 512 bytes c. A boot partition or system partition on a basic disk cannot be extended into a striped or spanned volume, even if you convert the disk to a dynamic disk

d. The conversion will fail if the hard drive does not have at least 1 MB of free space at the end of the disk

5) Which of the following is not true about differences between attached storage (NAS) devices and Storage area network (SAN) devices?

a. NAS devices provide a file system implementation; SAN devices do not b. NAS devices must have their own processor and memory hardware; SAN devices do not require these components c. NAS devices must run their own operating system and typically provide a Web interface for administrative access; SAN devices do not have to have either one d. NAS devices require a specialized protocol, such as Fibre Channel or iSCSI; SAN devices use standard networking protocols

8) Which of the following components is not included in the Windows Server 2008 product?

a. iSCSI initiator b. iSCSI target c. iSNS Server d. Storage Manager for SANs

9) Which of the following Fibre Channel layers contains the SCSI commands destined for storage devices on the SAN?

a. FC1 b. FC2 c. FC3 d. FC4

10) An iSCSI target receives commands from an initiator and passes them to a storage device. Which of the following is used to represent the storage device?

a. Logical unit number b. iSNS database entry c. VDS hardware provider d. RS-232 port
