Your network includes an Active Directory domain named Contoso.com. You have purchased four servers that you plan to confgure in a failover cluster. You want the failover cluster to run even if two of the nodes fail. What should you do?
  • A.
    Adjust the Quorum confguration
  • B.
    Confgure the cluster storage from a storage pool
  • C.
    Confgure Cluster Aware Updating
  • D.
    Add the cluster disks to cluster-shared volumes
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : (A)
Explanation :
  • A. Correct: You can adjust the Quorum confguration to include a witness. A disk or fle share witness will enable the cluster to run without a clear majority of active nodes.
  • B. Incorrect: A storage pool will not affect how the many nodes need to remain active for the cluster to run.
  • C. Incorrect: Cluster-aware updating (CAU) does not affect how many nodes need to remain active for the cluster to run.
  • D. Incorrect: Cluster-shared volumes (CSVs) do not affect how many nodes need to remain active for the cluster to run.

You work as a network administrator for Adatum.com. The Adatum.com network includes 25 servers running Windows Server 2012 R2 and 400 clients running Windows 8.1.
You want to create a failover cluster to support a fle share used by a resourceintensive application. Your priorities for the failover cluster are to prevent fle-handling errors in the event of failover and to maintain high performance as the usage of the application grows. Which role and storage type should you confgure for the failover cluster? (Choose two. Each answer represents part of the solution.)
  • A.
    Confgure as the role for the failover cluster a File Server for general use.
  • B.
    Confgure as the role for the failover cluster a Scale-Out File Server.
  • C.
    Store the share on an NTFS volume provisioned from shared storage. Do not add the volume to Cluster-shared volumes.
  • D.
    Store the share on a Cluster Shared Volume.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [B, D]
Explanation :
  • A. Incorrect: A traditional fle server for general use is best suited for users, not resource-intensive applications. In addition, a traditional fle server would not easily allow you to handle an increased load as the usage of the fle share increased.
  • B. Correct: A Scale-Out File Server allows an application to maintain fle handles even during failover, which minimizes application errors. In addition, an SoFS allows you to keep all nodes active and to add additional nodes as needed to handle an increased load.
  • C. Incorrect: A Scale-Out File Server requires CSV storage. Choosing this storage type would not allow you to meet your requirements or reducing errors and maintaining high performance.
  • D. Correct: A Scale-Out File Server requires CSV storage.

You work as a network administrator for Fourth Coffee, Inc. The Fourthcoffee.com network spans offces in fve cities in Australia. All servers in the network are running Windows Server 2012 R2 and all clients are running Windows 8.1. You want to create a failover cluster to support a new fle share that will be used by members of the marketing team in all branch offces. Your requirements for the failover cluster and the fle share in general are to minimize downtime if a node fails, to minimize storage space needed for the share, to reduce or eliminate the possibility of fle conflicts, and to minimize the amount of data transferred over WAN links. How should you confgure the failover cluster and fle server? (Choose all that apply.)
  • A.
    Confgure as the role for the failover cluster a File Server for general use.
  • B.
    Confgure as the role for the failover cluster a Scale-Out File Server.
  • C.
    Enable Data Deduplication on the fle share.
  • D.
    Enable BranchCache on the fle share.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [A, C, D]
Explanation :
  • A. Correct: A File Server for general use is the more suitable role to provide high availability for a fle share that users (as opposed to applications) will use for fle storage. In addition, only the File Server role is compatible with Data Deduplication and BranchCache.
  • B. Incorrect: An SoFS is not compatible with Data Deduplication or BranchCache, two features that will help you meet your requirements for the share.
  • C. Correct: Data Deduplication will help minimize storage space requirements.
  • D. Correct: BranchCache will minimize the amount of data transferred over WAN links and prevent fle conflicts.

You want to create a two-node failover cluster to provide high availability for a virtual machine. The virtual machine will host an important line-of-business (LOB) application used often by members of your organization throughout the day. You want to confgure VM monitoring of the application so that the virtual machine will restart if the application is found to be in a critical state and will fail over to the other node if the application still is in a critical state after the system restart. Which of the following is not a requirement of meeting this goal?
  • A.
    The host Hyper-V server needs to be running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
  • B.
    The guest VM needs to be running Windows Server 2012 or Windows Server 2012 R2.
  • C.
    The host and the guest need to be members of the same domain.
  • D.
    The guest VM needs to have enabled the frewall rules in the Virtual Machine Monitoring group.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
  • A. Incorrect: VM monitoring does indeed require Windows Server 2012 to be running on the host Hyper-V server and failover cluster node.
  • B. Incorrect: VM monitoring requires Windows Server 2012 to be running on the clustered VM.
  • C. Correct: The host and guest do not need to be members of the same domain. However, the two domains need to trust each other.
  • D. Incorrect: The frewall rules in the Virtual Machine Monitoring group do need to be enabled on the clustered VM.

You have confgured high availability for a cluster-aware application named ProseWareApp in a 2-node failover cluster named Cluster1. The physical nodes in Cluster1 are named Node1 and Node2; they are both running Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 R2. Node1 is currently the active node for ProseWareApp.
You want to confgure Cluster1 to perform critical Windows Updates with a minimum of administrative effort and a minimum of downtime for ProseWareApp users. What should you do?
  • A.
    Drain the roles on Node1 and then start Windows Update on Node1.
  • B.
    In Server Manager on Node1, right-click Cluster1 and select Update Cluster.
  • C.
    Confgure Cluster-Aware Updating to add the CAU clustered role to Cluster1 with self-updating mode enabled.
  • D.
    Confgure Task Scheduler to run Windows Update daily on Node1 outside of business hours.
  • Answer & Explanation
  • Report
Answer : [C]
Explanation :
  • A. Incorrect: This solution performs updates once on Node1 only, not the entire cluster.
  • B. Incorrect: This solution updates the cluster only once. It doesn’t minimize administrative effort because you would need to do it repeatedly.
  • C. Correct: This solution confgures Cluster1 to perform Windows Updates automatically and regularly on both nodes in the cluster.
  • D. Incorrect: This solution performs updates only on Node1, not the entire cluster.
