Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 229

You are building a failover cluster named Cluster1.
You plan to add the following cluster roles to Cluster1:
✑ DHCP Server named DHCP1
✑ iSCSI Target Server named ISCSI1
✑ Scale-Out File Server named SOFS1
Which roles require a Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) disk?

Answer options

• A. ISCSI1 only
• B. SOFS1 and ISCSI1 only
• C. DHCP1, SOFS1, and ISCSI1
• D. SOFS1 only

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The Scale-Out File Server (SOFS1) requires a Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) disk to manage its data effectively in a clustered environment. The DHCP Server (DHCP1) and the iSCSI Target Server (ISCSI1) do not need CSVs for their operations, making them incorrect options.
