A, B & C

 

Presumably the ultimate goal is to create a stripe set with parity - so dynamic disks would be needed so yes to A)

Upgrading to dynamic doesn't mean you lose the data so not sure B) is correct.

C) would be correct to delete the stripe volume for disks 1-4

Therefore I think A and C.

Maybe? EDIT - Although backups are always a good idea!!

 

I'll go with ABC. I think that even if B is not absolutely required, it is always recommended that you do a backup before making this kind of change.

 

the fact that the phrase striped volume is mentioned, rather than striped set suggests that the disk is already dynamic in which case A is not correct(i could quite easily be wrong though!)

I'm not sure of the relevance of there being 5 disks(its possibly a clue that its in capitals) - just realised that the first disk is labelled disk 0 so ignore that comment about the 5 disks

Anyhow my final answer is C as you need to remove the striped volume to make way for the Raid 5 replacement

 

B and C, because we must assume that the 5th (unmentioned) disk contains the OS, so the other 4 are parts of the stripe, and as PrestD says, they are already dynamic.

Agreed that the backup is not essential, but I'm gambling on MS's madness here, and saying you should back up a working stripe first before deleting.

But then, put MS and AJ together on one question - who KNOWS what the answer might end up being

 

You're an animal, Gav (actually, that's true...he's a amadillo). Now go over and try some 70-294 QOTDs if you're so hot.

 

Thanks Trip, but I'll stick to what I kinda know
