    Lab Challenge
    Overview

    Managing Storage Spaces


    In this challenge, you will use storage spaces to create a fault tolerant storage pool on a workstation running Windows 8 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. 20 minutes

    Mindset

    Completion time

    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:

    MOAC 70-687 - Configuring Windows 8 Lab Manual

    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.
