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.

What should you do first?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: C

Explanation

To extend Partition1, the first action is to resize the virtual disk that Partition1 resides on, which is accomplished by using the Resize-VirtualDisk cmdlet. The other options either pertain to resizing tiers, virtual hard disks directly, or managing partitions and volumes, which are not the correct initial steps to achieve the desired extension of Partition1.
