Configuring Windows Server Hybrid Advanced Services Questions 91–95 (page: 20)

Updated On: 10-Feb-2026

Your company uses Storage Spaces Direct.

You need to view the available storage in a Storage Space Direct storage pool.

What should you use?

  1. Disk Management
  2. Failover Cluster Manager
  3. the Get-StorageFileServer cmdlet
  4. System Configuration

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Failover Cluster Manager is the tool used to manage and monitor Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) in a clustered environment. It provides a comprehensive view of the cluster's resources, including the storage pool's health, available storage, and usage.



HOTSPOT (Drag and Drop is not supported)

You have a Hyper-V failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 contains a virtual machine named VM1 that runs Windows Server. VM1 contains a Windows service named Service1.

You need to ensure that Cluster1 performs a recovery action if Service1 fails.

What should you do? To answer, select the appropriate options in the answer area.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Hot Area:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




Configure monitoring for VM1 by using: Failover Cluster Manager. Since VM1 is part of a failover cluster, you would configure the monitoring for the VM through Failover Cluster Manager. This tool allows you to configure health checks and service monitoring for VMs in a clustered environment.

For Service1, set the Recovery settings to: Restart the Service. To ensure that the cluster can take recovery actions when Service1 fails, setting the recovery action to Restart the Service is appropriate. This ensures that the service is restarted automatically if it stops or crashes.



DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)

You have a Windows Server 2019 Storage Spaces Direct cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 has four nodes that contain virtual machines.

You need to perform an in-place upgrade of Cluster1 to Windows Server 2022. The solution must ensure that the virtual machines are always available during the upgrade.

In which order should you perform the actions? To answer, move all actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.

Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




1. Pause and drain the cluster node: This will ensure that all workloads (e.g., VMs) are moved off the node, so it can be safely updated.
2. Place the node in storage maintenance mode: This ensures that the node's storage won't interfere with the cluster operations during the upgrade.
3. Upgrade the node to Windows Server 2022: Perform the in-place upgrade to Windows Server 2022 on the node.
4. Remove the node from storage maintenance mode: Once the upgrade is complete, return the node's storage to normal operation.
5. Resume the cluster node: Bring the node back online in the cluster so that it can start hosting workloads again.



DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)

Your on-premises network contains an Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domain.

You plan to implement a failover cluster to enable a highly available file server.

You are evaluating the following clustered file servers:

File server for general use

Scale-out file server

Which type of storage should you use for each file server? To answer, drag the appropriate storage types to the correct file servers. Each storage type may be used once, more than once, or not at all. You may need to drag the split bar between panes or scroll to view content.

Note: Each correct selection is worth one point.

Select and Place:

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:




File server for general use: A logical unit number (LUN) or A local data volume File servers for general use typically rely on standard storage types like LUNs (used in SAN environments) or local data volumes for general file-sharing purposes. This setup doesn't require specialized shared storage like a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV).

Scale-out file server: A Cluster Shared Volume (CSV)
Scale-out file servers require Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) to provide high availability and ensure that multiple nodes in the cluster can access the same volume concurrently. CSVs are optimized for use in a scale- out file server.



Note: This question is part of a series of questions that present the same scenario. Each question in the series contains a unique solution that might meet the stated goals. Some question sets might have more than one correct solution, while others might not have a correct solution.

After you answer a question in this section, you will NOT be able to return to it. As a result, these questions will not appear in the review screen.

You have a failover cluster named Cluster1 that hosts an application named App1.

The General tab in App1 Properties is shown in the General exhibit. (Click the General tab.)



The Failover tab in App1 Properties is shown in the Failover exhibit. (Click the Failover tab.)



Server2 shuts down unexpectedly.

You need to ensure that when you start Server2, App1 continues to run on Server2.

Solution: You pause the Server1 node in Cluster1 and then start Server1.

Does this meet the goal?

  1. Yes
  2. No

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

Correct:
* From the Failover settings, you select Prevent failback.
The Prevent failback setting will prevent the cluster failing back to Server2.
Incorrect:
* From the General settings, you increase the priority of Server2 in the Preferred Owners list.
* You increase Maximum failures in the specified period for the App1 cluster role.
* You pause the Server1 node in Cluster1 and then start Server1.
Note: Preventing failback.

A third potential setting is used after a resource's cluster node comes back online after a failover. Under the Failover tab is the Failback setting with the default setting "prevent failback." When failback is configured, the virtual machine will return back to its original host when that host is again available. If you want virtual machines to return to your known configuration after a host problem, this can be a good thing.
