Dynamic disks
A
physical disk that is managed by Disk Management. Dynamic disks can
contain only dynamic volumes (that is, volumes created with Disk
Management). Dynamic disks cannot contain partitions or logical
drives, nor can they be accessed by MS-DOS. Dynamic disks are not
supported on portable computers.
Fault tolerance
Iis
the ability of a system to continue functioning when part of the
system fails. Normally, fault tolerance is used in describing disk
subsystems, but it can also apply to other parts of the system or
the entire system. Fully fault-tolerant systems use redundant disk
controllers and power supplies as well as fault-tolerant disk
subsystems. You can also use an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)
to safeguard against local power failure.
Although the data is always available in a fault-tolerant system,
you still need to make backups that are stored offsite to protect
the data against disasters such as a fire.
Monitor, configure, and troubleshoot volumes.
Basic volumes
Include partitions and logical drives, as well as volumes created
using Windows NT 4.0, such as volume sets, stripe sets, mirror sets,
and stripe sets with parity. In Windows 2000, these volumes have
been renamed to spanned volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes,
and RAID-5 volumes.
To
format a basic volume, Right-click the partition, logical drive, or
basic volume you want to format (or reformat), and then click
Format. (You cannot format the system or boot partition)
