ITN 200 FINAL EXAM UPDATED
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS.
Which of the following is a requirement for using Storage Spaces Direct? - ANS A 10 GB
Ethernet network interface with remote-direct memory access (RDMA) support is a must.
While copying files between folders, it is possible to retrace and complete the transfer in case
of a power failure if an NTFS-based filesystem is being used. The same cannot be said for a
FAT32 filesystem. - ANS NTFS is a journaling filesystem, while FAT32 is not.
One of the disks on your computer is running low on storage space. You notice that there is
unallocated space in the spanned volume. How will you use the unallocated space to increase
storage space? - ANS Right-click the volume on that disk and click Extend Volume to increase
the size of the volume using the unallocated space
Tara, an administrator, has added storage devices to the storage pool and selected the RAID
level for the virtual disk using Server Manager. She wishes to allocate more space than is
required for the current amount of data such that the system only uses the actual space it
needs, enabling the actual size to grow with data.
What would you do to achieve Tara's wish? - ANS Create several thin-provisioned virtual
disks
Imran is associating a drive letter to a filesystem so that the drive letter can be accessed by the
operating system. What is the term given to the process that Imran is carrying out? -
ANS Mounting

,Shaw, a server administrator, uses an iSCSI SAN protocol to transfer data to and from SAN
devices at a speed of up to 40 Gb/s. He configures one of the SAN devices to provide storage to
Jasper's Windows Server 2019 system. What should Jasper configure in his system to be able to
connect to the storage? - ANS The iSCSI target
Rebecca is configuring a RAID with three storage devices. If she saves a file, the file will be
divided into three sections, with each section written to separate storage devices concurrently,
in a third of the amount of time it would take to save the entire file on one storage device.
Which of the following RAID levels is Rebecca configuring? - ANS RAID level 0
You are asked to create seven partitions in a storage device that uses an MBR. The device
already has two partitions. However, you are also told that you cannot create more than a
certain number of partitions on the storage device using an MBR. What would your next step
be? - ANS Create the partitions and label one of the partitions as extended
Trimming erases sections of the volatile memory chips on an SSD that no longer contain data,
consolidating the existing data into fewer memory locations. T/F - ANS FALSE
Trimming will erase sections of non-volatile memory chips.
Identify the option that can be used to create storage pools that include storage devices from
different servers on a network. - ANS Storage Spaces Direct
Which of the following is a term given to the software component in the operating system that
connects to the SAN device via iSCSI? - ANS iSCSI initiator
A server rack containing data files, databases, web content, etc. is stored on an external SAN,
which is connected to the Windows Server 2019 operating system via iSCSI.
Which of the following is not likely to be achieved with this configuration? - ANS Using
hardware RAID externally to provide fault tolerance

, Sam, an administrator, sends out an HR policy file to Vicky, Mohammad, Charle, and Reena.
They save the HR policy file on their home directories under a shared folder of Windows Server
2019 with different file names. As a result, the same copies of the file are present multiple
times with different names. Reena opens and saves the file after making minor changes.
What will happen to the files when Sam enables the Data Deduplication Service on Windows
Server 2019? - ANS A new copy of Reena's file is created and associated with the same file
name.
Nadia uses the Disk Management tool to create a simple volume in one of the disks. She
specifies the simple volume size and chooses a drive letter. While selecting the formatting
options, she modifies the default allocation unit size. What will happen if the allocation unit size
is large? - ANS The performance of file sharing applications will increase.
A large allocation unit size will increase the performance of file sharing applications, whereas a
small allocation unit size will increase the performance of database applications.
Merjem, a PhD student, is writing her thesis. She takes regular backup of her files and data.
When taking backup, she chooses the Faster backup performance option in the Optimize
Backup Performance window.
Which of the following is true of the backup process in the given scenario? - ANS Every
backup only backs up data that has been modified since the previous backup.
Which of the following statements is true of SAN devices? - ANS SAN devices are functionally
like an external USB drive.
Zuber is configuring Windows Server 2019 as an iSCSI SAN device. He has successfully created
an iSCSI virtual disk and a new iSCSI target. He is trying to connect his system to the new iSCSI
target but he is facing a connection issue.
