Hi, One of the servers in my company is being moved to a
different department to operate as a file and print
server. I want to configure the storage.
I have already found out that I will have to configure the
disks through the Disk Management tool.
1. The Windows 2000 machine has a disk configuration
as follows:
C: partition fills one of the 2Gb disks, but there are two
additional 2Gb disks and one 1Gb disk available.
I would like to create a striped volume with these
available disks, but am not sure what is the largest
striped volume I could get using these 3 disks? It would
also be useful to know the reasoning behind this
calculation.
2. How would I (step-by-step, please)create a striped
volume in the Disk Management tool?
3. If I were to decide to create a spanned volume using
these disks instead, how large could it be?
4. What advantage does a striped volume have over a
spanned volume? and why is this?
Many thanks in advance for your help!
