Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 227

You have a Windows Server 2016 failover cluster named Cluster1 that contains four nodes named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4.
You need to configure Cluster 1 to use directly attached storage to store several virtual machines.
You run the Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet on Server1.
What should you do next?

Answer options

• A. Run the Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet on the other three nodes.
• B. Create volumes.
• C. Create a storage pool.
• D. Run the Add-ClusterResource cmdlet on all of the nodes.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as creating volumes is necessary to manage the storage resources after enabling Storage Spaces Direct. Options A and D are incorrect because running cmdlets on other nodes or adding resources does not directly facilitate volume creation. Option C is also wrong since establishing a storage pool is a preliminary step, but volumes must be created afterward to store the virtual machines.
