75
Q

On a new server running Windows Server 2012 R2, Morris created a storage pool that consists of two physical drives holding 1 TB each. Then he created three simple virtual disks out of the space in the storage pool. Using the disk Management snap-in, Morris then created a RAID-5 volume out of the three virtual disks. 1.) In What way is Morris’s storage plan ineffectual at providing fault tolerance? 2.)Why will adding a third disk to the storage pool fail to improve the fault tolerance of the storage plan? 3.) How can Morris modify the storage plan to make it fault tolerant?

A

1.) Morris created a Raid 5 out of virtual disks created out of a storage pool that has only two physical disks. Raid 5 can only provide FT by storing data on 3 disks. 2.)Adding a 3rd disk doesn’t guarantee FT because there is no assurance that each of the three virtual disks exists on a separate individual disk. 3.)To make the plan fault-Tolerant, Morris should delete the three simple virtual disks and create on new virtual disk by using either the mirror or parity layout option.

76
Q

Storage Spaces

A

concatenates storage space from individual physical disks and allocates that space to create virtual disks of any size supported by the hardware. Similar to SAN, but uses direct attached disks or simple external JBOD arrays. .

77

79
Q

Storage pool

A

Used by storage spaces. Spans multiple drives invisibly providing accumulated storage resource that administrators can expand or reduce as needed by adding disks to or removing them from the pool.

80
Q

Mirror (Storage Pool)

A

Requires the pool to contain at least 2 physical disks and provides fault tolerance by storing identical copies to every file. Two physical disks provide protection against a single disk failure. Five physical disks provide protection against 2 disk failures.

81

Share Permissions

A

Control access to folders over a network. To access a file over a network, a users must have appropriate share permissions (and appropriate NTFS permissions if the shared folder is on an NTFS Volume).

103
Q

NTFS Permissions

A

Control access to the file and folders stored on disk volumes formatted with the NTFS file system. To access a file, either on the local system or over a network, a user must have the appropriate NTFS permissions.

104
Q

ACL

A

collection of individual permissions in the form of access control entries (ACE).

105
Q

ACE

A

Consists of a security principal (user name, group, computer granted the permissions) and the specific permissions assigned to that security principal.

106
Q

Basic Permissions

A

Combinations of advanced permissions, which provide the most granular control over the element.

107
Q

Standard Permissions (Pre 2012)

A

Now known as Basic permissions.

108
Q

Special permissions (Pre 2012)

A

Now known as Advanced permissions.

109

Start by granting all possible Allow permissions to individual security principals, giving them full control over the system element, and then grant them deny permissions for the access you don’t want them to have.

111
Q

Effective Access

A

Explicitly assigned, inherited, or received through group membership for an element.

Q

Dynamic Memory (Hyper V)

A

enables Hyper-V to adjust the amount of RAM allocated to VMs, depending on their ongoing requirements. Allocated from a memory pool.

191
Q

Startup RAM

A

Specifies the amount of memory that you want to allocate to the VM when it starts. When you are using Dynamic Memory, this value can be the minimum amount of memory needed to boot the system.

192
Q

Minimum RAM

A

Specifies the smallest amount of memory the VM can use at any time. OSs can require more memory to start up than to run, so this value can be smaller than the Startup RAM value

193
Q

Maximum RAM

A

Specifies the largest amount of memory that the VM can use at any time. The value can range from a low equal to the Startup RAM value to a high of 64 GB.

194
Q

Memory Buffer

A

Specifies a percentage that Hyper-V uses to calculate how much memory to allocate to the VM, compared to its actual utilization, as measured by performance counters. For example, with the Memory Buffer value set to 20 percent, a VM with applications and OS that consume 1 GB of memory will receive a dynamic allocation of 1.2 GB.

195
Q

Memory Weight

A

Specifies a relative value that specifies the priority of this VM compared to the other VMs on the same computer. When the physical memory in the computer is insufficient to allocate the full-buffered amount specified for each VM, the VMs with the highest Memory Weight settings receive priority

196
Q

Configure Memory Settings (Powershell)

A

Set-VMMemory -DynamicMemoryEnabled $true -MinimumBytes -StartupBytes -MaximumBytes -Priority -Buffer

197
Q

Smart Paging (Memory)

A

If a VM has to restart and there is not enough memory available to allocate its startup RAM value, the system uses hard disk space to make up the difference and begins paging memory contents to disk. smart paging incurs a severe performance penalty, but the paging occurs only for as long as it takes to restart the VM and return it to its minimum RAM allocation.

198
Q

Resource Metering

201
Q

Which of the following types of server virtualization provides the best performance for high-traffic servers in production environments?

A

Type I virtualization provides the best performance because the hypervisor runs directly on the computer hardware and does not have the overhead of a host OS.

202
Q

Which of the following Microsoft operating systems includes a license that enables you to license an unlimited number of virtual instances?

A

Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition includes a license that enables you to create an unlimited number of virtual instances.

203
Q

Which of the following Hyper-V features make it possible for a VM to function with a minimum RAM value that is lower than the startup RAM value? (Choose all that apply.)

A

-Smart paging enables a VM to restart even if the amount of RAM specified as the startup value is unavailable. Smart paging causes the system to use disk space as a temporary substitute for memory during a system restart. - Dynamic Memory enables you to specify a minimum RAM value that is smaller than the startup RAM value, but Smart paging enables the system to function with those parameters. -Guest Integration Services is required for a guest OS to use Dynamic Memory.

204
Q

When you install the Hyper-V role on a server running Windows Server 2012 R2, the instance of the OS on which you installed the role is converted to what system element?

A

Because they use improved and synthetic drivers, Generation 2 VMs deploy faster than Generation 1 VMs.

206
Q

Fixed hard disk image

A

An image file of a specified size in which all the disk space required to create the image is allocated during its creation. Fixed disk images can be wasteful in terms of storage because they can contain large amounts of empty space, but they are also efficient from a performance standpoint because there is no overhead due to dynamic expansion.

207
Q

Dynamic hard disk image
