Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 16

You have a Nano Server that runs Windows Server 2016. The Nano Server runs on a physical machine.
You have not installed any packages on the server.
You attach a new disk to the server, and you initialize the disk as a GPT disk.
You need to create a ReFS-formatted volume on the new disk.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. From the physical server, log on to the Nano Server Recovery Console.
• B. Install the Microsoft NanoServer-Host-Package package.
• C. Run the Format-Volume cmdlet and specify the -FileSystem switch.
• D. Install the Microsoft NanoServer-Storage-Package package.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because the Microsoft NanoServer-Storage-Package package is necessary for managing storage-related tasks, including creating ReFS volumes. Options A and B are not relevant as they do not pertain to the storage configuration, and C cannot be performed until the appropriate storage package is installed.
