THIS LAB CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING EXERCISES AND ACTIVITIES:

Exercise 22.1 Working with Basic Partitions

Exercise 22.2 Working with Dynamic Partitions

Lab Challenge Managing Storage Spaces

Exercise 22.1 Working with Basic Partitions Overview In this exercise, you will create and manipulate partitions on a basic disk.

Mindset Basic disks enable you to create simple volumes and then extend or shrink them as needed. Completion time 10 minutes

4. Click OK to initialize Disk1 and Disk2. Based on the information in the Disk Management snap-in, fill out the information in Table 22-1 on your lab worksheet. MOAC 70-687 - Configuring Windows 8 Lab Manual

Table 22-1 Disk information

Disk 0 Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk type (basic or dynamic) Total disk size Number and type of partitions Amount of unallocated space

12. Take a screen shot of the Disk Management window that shows the simple volume you created by pressing Ctrl+Prt Scr and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 22 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Exercise 22.2 Working with Dynamic Partitions Overview In this exercise, you will create a spanned volume that utilizes space from two physical hard disks.

Mindset A spanned volume enables you to combine the space from two or more disks into a single entity. Completion time 10 minutes

What has happened to the primary partition you created earlier in this lab? Question 1

After you converted the basic disk to a dynamic disk, how many partitions can be found on the disk? How do you know? Question 2

Question Why is the option to extend the volume grayed out? 3 MOAC 70-687 - Configuring Windows 8 Lab Manual

14. Take a screen shot of the Disk Management window that shows the spanned volume you created by pressing Ctrl+Prt Scr and then paste the resulting image into the Lab 22 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.

Lab Challenge Managing Storage Spaces Overview In this challenge, you will use storage spaces to create a fault tolerant storage pool on a workstation running Windows 8

Mindset Windows 8 includes a new storage virtualization technology called Storage Spaces, which enables a computer to use storage space from individual physical disks to create a virtual disk. Completion time 20 minutes

To complete this challenge, you must delete the volumes you created on Disk1 and Disk2 of WKSTN-MBR-C and then use those disks to create a storage pool and a storage space with the following parameters:

 Name: Databases

 Drive Letter: P

 Resiliency type: Two-way mirror

 Maximum size: 80 GB

Write out the steps you followed to complete the challenge and then show the pool you created by using Ctrl+Prt Scr to take screen shots of the Create a storage pool dialog box, the Create a storage space dialog box, and the Disk Management window. Then paste the resulting images into the Lab 22 worksheet file in the page provided by pressing Ctrl+V.
