Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 145

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-Partition cmdlet.
• B. From Disk Management, modify the properties of Partition1.
• C. From the Storage Pools page in Server Manager, extend a virtual disk.
• D. From Disk Management, extend a volume.
• E. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-VHD cmdlet.
• F. From Windows PowerShell, run the Resize-StorageTier cmdlet.
• G. From Windows PowerShell, run the Expand-IscsiVirtualDisk cmdlet.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To extend Partition1, you must first extend the virtual disk it resides on, which is done by extending a virtual disk from the Storage Pools page in Server Manager. The other options either attempt to resize the partition directly or involve commands that are not relevant to extending a virtual disk.
