Documenting Disk Properties

In this practice, you will document disk properties.

You are the systems administrator for an organizational unit on a large network.

After arriving at work one morning, you read the following e-mail message from your manager:

We need to take inventory of all the different disk drives that we have

installed on our servers. By doing this, we will be better prepared in an

emergency if one of the drives fails. We will be able to order a replacement

quickly without having to figurę out the model number, capacity, and so on.

Please collect the following information about the disk on the server in the graphics department:

•Manufacturer •Model •Disk type •Drive capacity

You should also collect the volume information so that we do not spend

hours trying to remember how the disk was configured in case we need to replace it:

•Disk number •Partition style •Number of partitions •Capacity of each partition

Please wite this information in the Systems log book so that we can access

the information quickly in case of a disk failure.
