Upgrading Your Skills to MCSA: Windows Server 2016 — Question 105

You have four servers named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4 that run Windows Server 2016. Each server has a single 4-TB SATA hard disk.
To each server, you attach a new 4-TB SATA hard disk.
You need to create a new storage cluster that uses Storage Spaces Direct. The storage pool must contain all of the new disks.
Which command should you run before you enable Storage Space Direct?

Answer options

• A. Add-ClusterSharedVolume ""Name "Disk 1" ""Cluster Cluster1
• B. Get-ClusterAvailableDisk ""Cluster Cluster1 | Add-ClusterDisk
• C. New-ClusterStorageEnclosure -id 1 ""name Cluster1 ""type jbod ""ConnectionString "Server1,Server2,Server3,Server4"
• D. New-Cluster ""Name Cluster1 ""Node "˜Server1', "˜Server2', "˜Server3', "˜Server4' -NoStorage

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct command is D, as it creates a new cluster named Cluster1 with the specified nodes and without any existing storage, which is a necessary step before enabling Storage Spaces Direct. Options A and B are related to managing disks within an existing cluster, while C is focused on creating a storage enclosure, which is not required at this stage.
