Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure — Question 49

You have three on-premises servers named SVR1, SVR2, and SVR3 that run Windows Server. SRV1 has a direct-attached storage (DAS) array.

You plan to deploy a failover cluster named Cluster1 by using SVR2 and SVR3.

You need to ensure that the DAS array on SRV1 can be used as shared storage for Cluster1. The solution must ensure that Cluster1 has block-level access to the storage.

What should you do first on SRV1?

Answer options

• A. Run the start-service -name msiscsi cmdlet.
• B. Install the iSCSI Target Server role service.
• C. Install the File Server role service.
• D. Run the Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because enabling Cluster Storage Spaces Direct on SVR1 allows the DAS to be utilized as shared storage for Cluster1 with the required block-level access. Options A, B, and C do not provide the necessary configuration for enabling shared storage in a failover cluster context.
