You’re implementing software RAID on your Windows Server 2003 computer. You want to provide fault tolerance to the system and boot partitions. Which version of RAID should you use?
- A.
RAID-0.
- B.
RAID-1.
- C.
RAID-5.
- D.
You cannot use software RAID to protect a boot partition.
Correct Answer
B. RAID-1.Explanation
RAID-1 is the correct answer because it provides fault tolerance by mirroring data across multiple disks. In this case, implementing RAID-1 would allow the system and boot partitions to be duplicated on separate disks, ensuring that if one disk fails, the system can still boot and operate normally from the mirrored disk. RAID-0 does not provide fault tolerance as it uses striping without redundancy, RAID-5 requires at least three disks and does not specifically protect boot partitions, and the statement "You cannot use software RAID to protect a boot partition" is incorrect as RAID-1 can be used for this purpose.Rate this question:

You’re setting up a Windows Server 2003 computer, and you want to protect the data on the hard disk. You want to implement a solution that provides the fastest disk I/O possible and supports the hot swapping of hard disks. Which RAID solution should you use?
- A.
RAID-0
- B.
RAID-1
- C.
RAID-5
- D.
Hardware RAID
Correct Answer
D. Hardware RAIDExplanation
The hardware RAID solution is the best choice in this scenario because it provides the fastest disk I/O and supports the hot swapping of hard disks. Hardware RAID uses a dedicated RAID controller, which offloads the processing from the server's CPU and improves performance. It also allows for easy replacement of failed drives without shutting down the server, ensuring continuous data availability. RAID-0, RAID-1, and RAID-5 are software-based RAID solutions that do not offer the same level of performance and hot swapping capabilities as hardware RAID.Rate this question:

You’re setting up RAID-5 on your Windows Server 2003 computer. You plan to use five hard disks, which are each 20 GB in size. What percentage of redundancy can you anticipate with this configuration?
- A.
20
- B.
25
- C.
33
- D.
50
Correct Answer
A. 20Explanation
With RAID-5, one disk is used for parity information. In this case, since there are five disks, one of them will be used for parity. Therefore, the redundancy percentage is equal to the size of one disk divided by the total size of all disks, which is 20/100 = 20%.Rate this question:

You’re setting up software RAID on your Windows Server 2003 computer to provide fault tolerance to the data stored on that system. The computer is used as a database server. The server performs many read operations but relatively few write operations. As a result, you want a fault-tolerant solution that provides excellent read performance. Which RAID solution should you use?
- A.
RAID-0
- B.
RAID-1
- C.
RAID-5
Correct Answer
C. RAID-5Explanation
RAID-5 is the most suitable solution in this scenario. RAID-5 provides fault tolerance by distributing parity data across multiple drives, allowing for the reconstruction of data in case of a single drive failure. It also offers excellent read performance as it allows multiple drives to read data simultaneously, increasing the overall read speed. This is beneficial for a database server that performs many read operations. RAID-0 does not provide fault tolerance, and RAID-1 may not offer as good read performance as RAID-5.Rate this question:

Using the Disk Management snap-in, you start the New Volume Wizard by right-clicking one of the regions of unallocated space. When you reach the Select Volume Type screen, the RAID-5 option is not available. What is the most likely reason for this behavior?
- A.
RAID-5 is already implemented in hardware.
- B.
One or two of the disks are configured with the basic storage type.
- C.
All three disks are configured with the dynamic storage type.
- D.
All three disks are configured with the basic storage type.
- E.
RAID-5 is already implemented in software.
Correct Answer
B. One or two of the disks are configured with the basic storage type.Explanation
The most likely reason for the RAID-5 option not being available is that one or two of the disks are configured with the basic storage type. RAID-5 requires all disks to be configured with the dynamic storage type in order to implement the RAID-5 volume. If any of the disks are configured with the basic storage type, the option to create a RAID-5 volume will not be available.Rate this question:
