Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 133

You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2016.
Server1 has four SCSI disks and a storage pool named Pool1 that contains three disks.
You create a virtual disk named Disk 1 that uses a mirrored layout.
You create a partition named Partition1 that uses all of the available space on Disk 1.
You need to extend Partition1.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet.
• B. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-VHD cmdlet.
• C. From Disk Management, modify the properties of Partition1.
• D. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-Partition cmdlet.
• E. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-StorageTier cmdlet.
• F. From Disk Management, extend a volume.
• G. From Windows PowerShell, run the Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet is specifically designed to adjust the size of a virtual disk, which is necessary before extending the partition. The other options either target different elements of the storage system or are not applicable for resizing a virtual disk.
