Question 1 of 1 0
Your server has a SATA hard disk connected to the SATAO connector on the motherboard. The Windows
Server 2012 R2 operating system has been installed on this disk. The system volume on this disk uses the
entire drive .
The computer also has two additional SATA hard disks installed. One is connected to the SATA3 connector
and the other to the SATAS connector on the motherboard.
You want to create a virtual disk using a storage pool in this system that uses parity for resiliency.
What should you do?
0 Connect the SATA hard disks to consecutive SATA connectors on the motherboard .
0 Nothing, the existing disks can be used for the storage pool.
ANSWER: Install an additional hard disk in the system .
0 Replace the SATA hard disks with SCSI hard disks.
Explanation
A minimum of three drives are required to use parity for resiliency. In this example, there are three drives already
installed. However, one of the drives is the system drive and can’t be used in a storage pool. Therefore, a fourth hard disk
(of any type) must be installed in this system before the virtual disk specified can be created.
SATA hard drives can be used as well as SCSI hard drives in a storage pool. SATA devices can be used in a storage pool
regardless of which SATA channel they are connected to.
