Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 44

You have a server that runs Windows Server 2016.
The server contains a storage pool named Pool1. Pool1 contains five physical disks named Disk1, Disk2, Disk3, Disk4, and Disk5.
A virtual disk named VirtualDisk1 is stored in Pool1. VirtualDisk1 uses the parity storage layout.
Disk3 fails.
You need to remove Disk3 from Pool1.
Which two commands should you run? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

Answer options

• A. Update-StoragePool ""FriendlyName Pool1
• B. Set-ResiliencySetting ""StoragePool Pool1 ""PhysicalDiskRedundancyDefault 4
• C. Reset-PhysicalDisk ""FriendlyName Disk3
• D. Set-PhysicalDisk ""FriendlyName Disk3 ""Usage Retired
• E. Remove-PhysicalDisk ""FriendlyName Disk3

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct commands are D and E. Command D sets Disk3's usage status to Retired, signaling that it is no longer part of the storage pool, while command E removes Disk3 from Pool1. The other options either do not apply to the removal process or attempt actions that do not contribute to successfully detaching the failed disk from the pool.
