Configuring Advanced Windows Server 2012 Services — Question 104

Your network contains 20 iSCSI storage appliances that will provide storage for 50 Hyper-V hosts running Windows Server 2012 R2.
You need to configure the storage for the Hyper-V hosts. The solution must minimize administrative effort.
What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Install the iSCSI Target Server role service and configure iSCSI targets.
• B. Install the iSNS Server service feature and create a Discovery Domain.
• C. Start the Microsoft iSCSI Initiator Service and configure the iSCSI Initiator Properties.
• D. Install the Multipath I/O (MPIO) feature and configure the MPIO Properties.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because installing the iSCSI Target Server role service and configuring iSCSI targets is the essential first step to make the storage available to the Hyper-V hosts. Options B, C, and D are related to additional configurations but do not directly set up the iSCSI targets needed for the Hyper-V hosts to access the storage.
