Mass Storage Implemetation Flashcards
Mass Storage Implementation
This RAID can only lose one drive in the array
RaidiaL
RAID 5
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
Comes from mechanical failure inside the hard drive.
Hard drive clicking
AKA
The click of death
Mass Storage Implementation
Striping with parity that provides speed and redundancy
RAID 5
–AND–
RAID 6
Mass Storage Implementation
Raid - Striping that provides speed
Raid 0
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
This can cause crashes and reboots NOT slow performance.
Corrupt OS
Mass Storage Implementation
Review the many symptoms in this
episode
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
The most likely result of a corrupt OS
Continuous Reboots
Mass Storage Implementation
Hardware RAID has its own ____ that comes with a special system setup to configure the RAID array
BIOS
Mass Storage Implementation
Before troubleshooting mass storage ALWAYS do this for important data.
BACK IT UP
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
To create a RAID 5 array you need a minimum of this many drives
Three
Mass Storage Implementation
These provide a subset of tools when compared with their main tools
Partitioning and formatting tools in installation programs
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Continuous reboots
Hard drive corruption
or OS does not boot properly
Mass Storage Implementation
The first drive on a system relies on this to provide partition and format instructions.
OS install program
Mass Storage Implementation
This type of RAID requires a controller to configure the RAID arrays
Hardware RAID
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Controller not working
Someone turned off the SATA controller
Mass Storage Implementation
Use this type of installation to make sure all the installation steps have take place.
A mental one.
TRIPLE CHECK
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
Microsoft software RAID implementation
Storage Spaces
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
OS not found
You messed up your boot process
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
System has a failure to boot
The boot order is messed up
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Slow performance on a system - thrashing
Get more RAM
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Mike put a thumb drive in the back of a pc during a competition and the techs were stumped - with the myiriad of problems
They did not check the back for a thumb drive and the boot order got messed up
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
This is set in the UEFI/BIOS system setup utility
Boot Order
Mass Storage Implementation
The completed array looks like this to the operating system
Single Drive
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Attempts to boot incorrect device
Boot order is messed up
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Take your time on the exam
The committee writes really big questions - huge paragraphs - BUT the focus is on one sentence
Mass Storage Implementation
This provides speed and/or redundancy
RAID
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
This RAID requires 4 drives
RAID 10
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
These come in the form of expansion cards
Dedicated RAID controller
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
If you yank a disk drive from one windows machine and put it in another - it wont be recognized unless
It is initialized on the new system
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
If RAID stops working
Look at the hard drives
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
RAID not found or RAID stops working
Either its never been installed.
Look to see if your RAID controller is active
Mass Storage Implementation
This RAID can lose two drives in the array
Cheese
RAID 6
Mass Storage Implementation
These tools may provide features not normally seen anywhere else like (swap file creation)
Installation Tools
Mass Storage Implementation: Symptom
Loud clicking noise - the great click of death
If your lucky get a backup.
Otherwise replace the hard drive
Mass Storage Implementation: Quiz
RAID 6 will function with up to how many drive failures
Two
