Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 22

You create a Storage Spaces Direct hyper-converged failover cluster. The cluster contains three nodes and a 1-TB Storage Spaces Direct volume.
The cluster will store virtual machines.
You plan to extend the volume by adding an additional 3 TB.
What is the minimum amount of extra disk capacity required to accommodate extending the volume?

Answer options

• A. 3TB on the coordinator node
• B. 3 TB per node
• C. 4 TB per node
• D. 4 TB on the coordinator node

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as each node in the cluster requires an equal amount of storage to ensure data redundancy and availability. Therefore, adding 3 TB of capacity per node is necessary to support the expansion of the volume. Options A, C, and D do not provide the required additional capacity per node needed for a proper extension.
