Administering Windows Server Hybrid Core Infrastructure — Question 56

You have an Azure subscription. The subscription contains a virtual machine named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2019 Standard and has the following configurations:

• Size: Standard_D2_v3
• vCPUs: 2
• RAM: 8 GB
• Temp storage: 50 GB
• Max data disks: 4

You need to resize Server1 to use a virtual machine that has the following configurations:

• Size: Standard_D4_v5
• vCPUs: 4
• RAM: 16 GB
• Temp storage: None
• Max data disks: 16

What should you do first?

Answer options

• A. Reformat the OS disk as ReFS.
• B. Move Pagefile.sys to drive C.
• C. Upgrade Server1 to Windows Server 2022 Datacenter: Azure Edition.
• D. Convert the data disks into GTP disks.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because moving Pagefile.sys to drive C is necessary to ensure that the virtual machine can utilize the additional resources after resizing. The other options, such as reformatting the OS disk or upgrading the OS, are not prerequisites for resizing in this context, and converting data disks to GTP does not address the immediate requirement for resizing the VM.
