Stripe set with parity
|
|
|
| Hi all,
I am confused with question which relates to fault tolerance. The question as follow,
You create a stripe set with parity on a Windows NT Server computer with 3 disk drives connected to a SCSI controller. After one of the drives fail, you replace it with a new one. The drive that contains the system and paging files was not affected. How do you restore?
a) Use disk administrator to select existing stripe members, on the new disk drive select a space that is AT LEAST the same size as the exiting stripe members and choose Regenerate from the fault tolerance menu.
b) Use disk administrator to create a partition on the new disk drive that is the same size as the individual drive members and choose regenerate form the fault tolerance menu of disk administrator.
Both of the answers are seems correct to me. Can any one shed some light on this??
Thanks,

| It's probably "A" cause you need to create the set from free space not partitioned space and to regenerate you would start from free space as well. You should get access to a test machine and try this. It will help a great deal in your understanding. I haven't had to do this yet 'cause in the real world the Raid solution is in the hardware. | |

| looked around but the RIAD controller is very expensive plus you need at least four drives to experimenting this.
Many thanks..

| In the real world, B would be the logical choice. But however, for the MCSE NT Server exam, A (AT LEAST the same size) is the definite answer. |
