Installation, Storage, and Compute with Windows Server 2016 — Question 89

You have a Windows Server 2016 failover cluster that contains two servers named Server1 and Server2.
The Cluster Service on Server1 fails.
You need to identify the cause of the failure.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From Windows PowerShell, run the Get-ClusterNode cmdlet.
• B. From Event Viewer, review the Application event log.
• C. From Windows PowerShell, run the Get-ClusterLog cmdlet.
• D. From Event Viewer, review the System event log.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct choice is C because the Get-ClusterLog cmdlet generates a detailed log that can help diagnose issues within the cluster, including service failures. Option A is incorrect as it provides information about cluster nodes but not specific failure details. Option B is not as relevant since the Application event log may not directly show the cause of the Cluster Service failure. Option D is also less relevant as the System event log may not capture the necessary cluster-specific information.
