CompTIA Cloud+ (CV0-003) — Question 364

A systems administrator swapped a failed hard drive on a server with a RAID 5 array. During the RAID resynchronization, a second hard drive failed. Which of the following actions will make the server fully operational?

Answer options

• A. Restart the RAID resynchronization process.
• B. Perform a P2V migration of the server.
• C. Swap the failed hard drive with a fresh one.
• D. Restore the server from backup.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Restoring the server from backup is the best option because RAID 5 can only tolerate one drive failure during resynchronization. Since a second drive has failed, the data may be lost, making restoration from a backup necessary. The other options do not address the critical data loss situation caused by the second failure.
