Assignment title: Information
Yesterday, a disk drive containing your engineering departments project documents crashed. Fortunately, there was a backup, but all files that had been added or changed that day were lost. A new disk drive has to be purchased, and the data has to be restored. Several days of work time will be lost. Mr. Phoenix, the CEO of the company wants to know what can be done to prevent the loss of data and time if a disk crashes in the future. The server currently has two disks installed: one for the Windows boot and system volumes and one for project document files. The disk used for project document files is about one-third full. There is enough money in the budget to purchase up to two new drives if needed. What solution do you recommend, and why?Question 2:It has been several months since that devastating afternoon when your disk crashed, and Mr. Phoenix is feeling better since you installed that fault tolerant solution described in problem 1. Business is booming, but the solution mentioned in problem 1 is starting to get low on disk space. In addition, Mr. Phoenix has some other needs that might require more disk space, and he wants to keep the data on separate volumes. He wants a flexible solution in which drives and volumes aren't restricted in their configuration. He also wants to be able to add storage space to existing volumes easily without having to reconfigure existing drives. He has the budget to add a disk storage system that can contain up to 10 HDDs. Which Windows feature can accommodate these needs, and how does it work?Question 3:You have two Windows Server 2012 R2 Computers with the Hyper-V role installed. Both computers have two hard drives, one for the system volume and the other for data. One server, named CIT356Test is going to be used mainly for testing and what-if scenarios, and its data drive is 250 GB. You estimate that you might have 8 or 10 VMs configured on CIT356Test with two or three running at the same time. Each test VM has disk requirements ranging from about 10 GB to 30 GB. The other server, named CIT356Apps, runs in the data center with production VMs installed. You expect two VMs to run on CIT356App, each needing about 150 GB to 200 GB of disk space. Both are expected to run fairly disk-intensive applications. Given this environment, describe how you would configure the virtual disks for the VMS on both servers.Question 4:You want to run three VMs on a Hyper-V server. Two of the VMS should be assigned two virtual processors, and the other requires only one. The host should have at least four processor cores dedicated to it. What configuration should you use on the host? ( I am looking for host hardware configuration) ****Question 5*** IN LIEU OF Question 4 you may answer this question ******(Therefore, answer either question 4 or question 5).You have five application servers that need access to shared storage because these servers will be configured in a cluster. Which storage solution would you consider for this application and why? (I am looking for the storage technology discussed in class and in the PPT).
