CompTIA Server+ (SK0-005) — Question 38

A server technician is installing a Windows server OS on a physical server. The specifications for the installation call for a 4TB data volume. To ensure the partition is available to the OS, the technician must verify the:

Answer options

• A. hardware is UEFI compliant
• B. volume is formatted as GPT
• C. volume is formatted as MBR
• D. volume is spanned across multiple physical disk drives

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because a 4TB volume requires the GPT (GUID Partition Table) format to be recognized by the Windows server OS. MBR (Master Boot Record) format cannot handle volumes larger than 2TB, making options C and D incorrect. Option A, while relevant to the boot process, does not directly address the partitioning requirement for the 4TB volume.
