You have a desktop computer that runs Windows 8 Enterprise. You add three new 3-terabyte disks. You need to create a new 9-terabyte volume.
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
B: GPT disks can grow to a very large size. The maximum partition(and disk) size is a function of the operating system version. Windows XP and the original release of Windows Server 2003 have a limit of
2TB per physical disk, including all partitions. For Windows Server 2003 SP1, Windows XP x64 edition, and later versions, the maximum raw partition of 18 exabytes can be supported.
A: A spanned volume is a dynamic volume consisting of disk space on more than one physical disk. If a simple volume is not a system volume or boot volume, you can extend it across additionaldisks to create a spanned volume, or you can create a spanned volume in unallocated space on a dynamic disk. You can make a spanned volume of GPT disks.
IncorrectAnswers:
C: We should create a spanned volume, not a new virtual disk.
D: There is no needto bring the disks offline.
E: 2 terabytes (TB) is the limit for MBR disks.
