CompTIA Cloud+ (CV1-003) — Question 27

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: A

Explanation

Restarting the RAID resynchronization process is crucial because it allows the RAID array to rebuild the data using the remaining drives. Simply swapping the second failed drive will not restore functionality unless the resynchronization is completed first. A P2V migration or restoring from backup would not address the immediate need to recover the RAID array's operational status.
