A company’s server virtualization team needs to provision a series of Hyper-V workloads to use
existing network storage arrays. The team has chosen to use Fibre Channel ports within the guest
operating systems.
Which of the following Windows Server versions can be used as guest operating systems when using
Hyper-V Fibre Channel ports?
A.
2003 R2
B.
2008
C.
2003
D.
2012
Explanation:
Windows Server 2008, 2008 R2, and 2012 R2 can be guest operating systems when using Hyper-V
Fibre Channel host bus adaptors (HBAs). Updated HBA drivers are needed along with NPIV-enabled
(N_Port ID Virtualization) SANs.
