CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 146

An administrator has been asked to increase the storage capacity of a stand-alone file server, but no further expansion slots are available. Which of the following would be the FASTEST solution to implement with no downtime?

Answer options

• A. Configure a RAID array.
• B. Replace the current drives with higher-capacity disks.
• C. Implement FCoE for more storage capacity.
• D. Connect the server to a SAN.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Connecting the server to a SAN (Storage Area Network) allows for immediate access to additional storage resources without the need for any downtime. In contrast, replacing drives with higher-capacity disks or configuring a RAID array would typically require downtime, and implementing FCoE might not provide the quickest solution in this scenario.
