Chapter 5- Configure Storage Flashcards
What is Robocopy?
Robocopy is a command line tool built in to W10 which can be used for copying files together with their permissions. To ensure all NTFS permissions are replicated use the /copy:s or copyall switches. All the available options can be seen by typing Robocpy/?
With a Robocopy scenario you have a master file and this is mirrored ( copied) to the sites.
What is DFR Namespaces ( DFSN or DFS-N) ?
A virtual view of the folder and subfolders that the administrator creates, which is presented to the user.
What is DFR Replication ( DFSR or DFS-R) ?
The process that is running behind the scenes and that detects changes to files stored within the DFS-N as well as replicates the changes at a block level, which is more efficient than copying the entire file.
What is Remote Differential Compression ( RDC) ?
The compression algorithm that detects changes in the files that need to be replicated.
What is Link Target?
The destination object such as the link; it can be a Uniform Naming Convention (UNC path), a shared folder, or another DFS path.
What is a Referral?
This relates to the hidden list of targets that are sent from DFS to the DFS client accesses the root or a link in the DFS namespace.
What is a link referral?
Contains a list of link targets for a specific link.
What is a Root Referral?
Contains a list of root targets for the DFS root selected.
What is the Referral Cache?
Entries are stored within the cache of the targets that are available.
Each entry has a ‘Time To Live’ (TTL) which specifies how long each record can be relied upon until it expires and a new referral becomes necessary.
What does RSAT stand for?
RSAT is Remote Server Administration Tools.
It is a set of tools that has to be downloaded from Microsoft.
Which command line tool, rather than PowerShell, can you use to manage a DFS?
Tools include dfsradmin.exe, dfscmd.exe, dfsdiag.exe or dfsutil.exe
Which switches are available with dfsutil.exe?
/Root Displays,creates,removes,imports,or exports namespace roots.
/Link Displays,creates,removes,or moves folders (links)
/Target Displays,creates,or modifies folder targets (link targets)
/Property Displays or modifies a folder targer or namespace server.
/Client Displays or modifies client info or reg keys.
/Server Displays or modifies namespace config on the server.
/Diag Enables you to perform diagnostics or view dfsdirs/dfspath
Domain Displays all the domain based namespacess in a domain.
/Cache Enables you to view or flush the Domain,Referral,or Provider cache.
The DFS device driver is?
Dfsc.sys (%SystemRoot%\System32\Drivers\Dfsc.sys)
The DFS client provider uses:
Ntlanman.dll. (\%SystemRoot%\System32\Netlanman.dll)
What does SAN stand for?
Storage Area Network
