In this lesson

Prepare for the AZ-802 exam (Administering Windows Server). In this lesson: GPT and MBR disks, NTFS and ReFS, Storage Spaces with simple, mirror, and parity layouts, Storage Spaces Direct and its resiliency choices, SMB Direct over RDMA, and Storage QoS policies. Includes three original practice questions.

Preview the topics
  • A standalone Contoso server has three data disks for archives. The space must survive one disk failure, with as much usable capacity as possible. Which layout fits?
  • Contoso’s four-node Storage Spaces Direct cluster hosts busy VMs, and its volumes must survive two failures at the same time, with the best write performance. Which resiliency fits?
  • The five VMs of Contoso’s test department must share at most 5,000 IOPS in total, on its Storage Spaces Direct cluster. What should the team create?
