A server administrator implements external storage for a file server.
At a later time, another administrator wants to extend this storage to a second server but is unable to connect to two servers simultaneously.
Which of the following storage types was implemented by the first administrator?

A. B. C. D.A.
The storage type implemented by the first administrator is likely Direct-Attached Storage (DAS).
Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) refers to a storage solution that is physically attached to a server, typically through a SCSI or SAS cable. This means that the storage is not shared between multiple servers, and can only be accessed by the server to which it is directly attached.
Based on the scenario given in the question, the first administrator implemented external storage for a file server, which is likely DAS. The second administrator wants to extend this storage to a second server but is unable to connect to two servers simultaneously. This is because DAS does not allow multiple servers to connect to the same storage simultaneously.
On the other hand, Network-Attached Storage (NAS) provides storage that can be shared among multiple servers over a network. Storage Area Network (SAN) also allows multiple servers to connect to shared storage, but it typically uses a dedicated high-speed network for storage traffic. Virtual SAN (VSAN) is a software-defined storage solution that can be deployed on a SAN or DAS infrastructure, but it provides shared storage functionality similar to NAS or SAN.
Therefore, based on the given scenario, DAS is the most likely storage type implemented by the first administrator.
