You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.Server1 has the
Hyper-V server role installed.
The disks on Server1 are configured as shown in the exhibit.(Click the Exhibit button.)
You create a virtual machine on Server1.
You need to ensure that you can configure a pass-through disk for the virtual machine.
What should you do?
A.
Convert Disk 1 to a GPT disk.
B.
Delete partition E.
C.
Convert Disk 1 to a dynamic disk.
D.
Take Disk 1 offline.

Correct.
Direct-attached Storage
Virtual machines can access a physical disk drive by using direct-attached storage, also termed pass- through disks. You can use direct-attached storage to connect a virtual machine directly to an iSCSI logical unit number (LUN). When you use direct-attached storage, the virtual machine must have exclusive access to the target disk. To ensure this, you must take the disk offline.
You can attach direct-attached storage by performing the following procedure:
1. Ensure that the target hard disk is offline. If it is not, then use the Disk Management console on the virtualization server to take it offline.
2. Use the Hyper-V Manager console to edit the existing virtual machine’s properties.
3. Click an IDE or SCSI controller, click Add, and then click Hard Drive.
4. In the Hard Drive dialog box, click Physical Hard Disk. From the drop-down menu, select the disk that you want to use as direct-attached storage.

direct-attached storage IS NOT pass- through disks
Correct answer is D. Take Disk 1 offline.

Pass-through Disk Configuration
Hyper-V allows virtual machines to access storage mapped directly to the Hyper-V server without requiring the volume be configured. The storage can either be a physical disk internal to the Hyper-V server or it can be a Storage Area Network (SAN) Logical Unit (LUN) mapped to the Hyper-V server. To ensure the Guest has exclusive access to the storage, it must be placed in an Offline state from the Hyper-V server perspective.
Additionally, this raw piece of storage is not limited in size so, hypothetically, it can be a multi terabyte LUN.
After storage is mapped to the Hyper-V server, it will appear as a raw volume and will be in an Offline state (depending on the SAN Policy (Figure 1-1)) as seen in Figure 1.
