10. 10 Disk Management

11. 11 Basic disk: Primary partitions A basic disk uses traditional disk management techniques Data on basic disks can be accessed by all operating systems A basic disk can contain up to 4 primary partitions Primary partition 1 Primary partition 2 Primary partition 3 Primary partition 4 C:\Part1 D:\Part2 E:\Part3 F:\Part4 Primary partitions A primary partition is a portion of a physical disk that functions as though it were a physically separate disk. You create a primary partition, then you format it with a file system (FAT or NTFS), then assign a drive letter and a label to it. One of the primary partitions must be the system partition, i.e. the partition that contains the files required to start the OS (boot.ini, etc.) the partition marked as the active partition (It’s almost always the logical drive C) The partition that contains the OS files is called the boot partition It’s where the \WINDOWS folder resides The boot partition could be either a primary partition or an extended partition Note: With GPT (GUID partition table) disk-partitioning scheme that is used by the Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI) in Itanium-based computers, we can create up to 128 (primary) partitions per disk

12. 12 Basic disk: Extended partition A Basic disk may also contain Up to 3 primary partitions and 1 extended partition that could be divided in multiple logical drives. Primary partition 1 Primary partition 2 Primary partition 3 Extended partition C:\Part1 D:\Part2 E:\Part3 F:\Logical1 G:\Logical2 H:\Logical3 Primary partitions Extended partition A special kind of partition used in order to exceed the 4-partition limit of basic disks. May be divided into several logical drives After you create a logical drive, you format it and assign it a drive letter and a label. May contain the OS files, i.e. the \WINDOWS folder

13. 13 Dynamic disk Created by upgrading a Basic disk using the Disk Management tool Logical representation of the basic disk that can be divided in units called volumes One could virtually create an unlimited number of volumes Volumes are similar to partitions with additional capabilities Volume C: Volume D: Volume E: Logical Disk Manager – LDM partition (1 MB) Etc…. Advantages of Dynamic disks over basic disk:  Volumes could be extended/resized*  Ability to create fault-tolerant volumes.  Could reactivate missing or offline disks  Disk settings could be changed without restarting computer. Special partition automatically created to store the configuration of the disk Volume F: Volume G: * Except the system volume and the boot volume. NTFS file system required.

14. 14 Types of Dynamic disks’ volumes Simple volume Spanned volume Striped volume (RAID-0) Mirrored volume (RAID-1) RAID-5 volume Fault-tolerant volumes

15. 15 Striped volume (RAID 0) Stores data in stripes on 2 to up to 32 physical disks. Same as Spanned volume, but W2003 optimize performance by writing data to all disks at the same time. Data is written in 64 KB blocks across rows in the volume Striped volumes are not fault-tolerant. If a disk in a striped volume fails, the data in the entire volume is lost.

16. 16 RAID-5 volume Fault-tolerant volume that requires a minimum of 3 disks Data is written in 64 KB blocks across rows in the volume Uses Parity; i.e. a calculated value used to reconstruct data after a failure Write speed slower than with a striped volume. Read speed is same.  b/c for writing, parity information must be computed, and then written. Actual storage space for data is n-1/n where n = number of disks Disk 1 Disk 2 Disk 3 Disk 4 Disk 5 ParityData ParityData ParityData ParityData Parity

17. 17 Summary Questions 1. On a W2003 system, the boot volume can be extended TF 2. On a W2003 system, the system volume can be extended TF 3. A volume formatted using NTFS could be extended, but a volume formatted using FAT cannot. TF

19. 19 Summary Questions You want to set up two disks so they are mirrored, but there is no option to do this in the Disk Management utility. What is the problem? a.Windows 2003 no longer supports mirroring. b.You are working with basic disks and need to convert them to dynamic disks. c.You must stripe the disk first d.The disks must contain over 2 GB to mirror them. Which of the following is/are true about basic and dynamic disks? a.Dynamic disks can be partitioned, but basic disks cannot. b.Dynamic disks can be set as spanned volumes. c.Basic disks are formatted, but dynamic discs are not

20. 20 Summary Questions You have created a RAID-5 volume that consists of seven 9-GB disks. How much disk space is usable to store files? a.54 GB b.62 GB c.60 GB You are setting up a server for a customer service organization that needs fast access to its data, but that is not as concerned about how fast information is updated on disk. The organization wants fault tolerance for data storage. Which of the following options would you recommend? a.A spanned volume b.A stripped volume c.A RAID-5 volume

21. 21 Summary Questions You are configuring a computer with Microsoft Windows 2003. The computer includes four 12-GB hard disks but does not include any removable storage devices. You will not be running any other operating systems on the computer. You want to implement RAID 5 to ensure fault tolerance, and you want to be able to resize the disk if necessary without having to restart Windows 2003. In addition, a variety of users will be accessing files on the computer, so you want to be able to set folder and file permissions. Which solution should you use? a.Initialize the hard disks with basic storage, create a primary partition and an extended partition, implement RAID 5, and format the partitions with FAT32. b.Initialize the hard disk with basic storage, create RAID-5 volumes, and format the partitions with NTFS. c.Initialize the hard disks with dynamic storage, create RAID-5 volumes, and format the volumes with NTFS. d.Initialize the hard disks with dynamic storage, create a primary partition and an extended partition, and format the partitions with NTFS.

23. 23 File system security

24. 24 Shared Folder Permissions’ Rules Multiple Permissions (The Combination Rule)  If a user is assigned a permission for a Shared folder and  If the use user belongs to a group to which a different permission is assigned,  Then the user’s effective permissions are the combination of the user and group permissions Deny overrides Allow  If you deny a shared folder permission to a user and  If you allow the same permission to a group the user belongs to  Then the user will not have that permission. Copying or Moving Shared folders  If you copy a Shared folder, the original folder is shared but not the copy  If you move a Shared folder, it is no longer shared.

25. 25 NTFS Permissions’ Rules Multiple Permissions  NTFS file permissions take priority over NTFS folder permissions A user can always access files for which he/she has permissions using UNC. E.g. \\SRVDC16\Data\file1.txt  Denying a permission for a user blocks that permission, even if the permission is granted to a group the user belongs to. Permission Inheritance  By default, permissions assigned for the parent folder are inherited at subfolder and file level  To prevent automatic inheritance, explicit permissions assignments must be done at subfolder and/or file levels. Copying or Moving Files and Folders  When a file/folder is moved within an NTFS partition, it retains its permissions  When a file/folder is copied to another NTFS partition, it inherits the permissions & attributes from the destination folder (Golden rule*)  When a file/folder is copied to a FAT partition, it loses its NTFS permissions * Golden rule doesn’t apply to encrypted files/folders

26. 26 Shares & permissions: Recap Sharing Setting permissions FATNTFSFATNTFS Folders/Subfolders YES YES (but limited) YES Files NO YES
