DRAG DROP
You have two failover clusters named Cluster1 and Cluster2. All of the nodes in both of the
clusters run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Cluster1 hosts two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2.
You plan to configure VM1 and VM2 as nodes in a new failover cluster named Cluster3.
You need to configure the witness disk for Cluster3 to be hosted on Cluster2.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence?
To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of actions to the answer area
and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer: See the explanation
Note:
* Use the Create Clustered File Server Wizard
When you create a Scale-Out File Server Cluster from existing servers, the Create Clustered
File Server Wizard does the following:
Enables the file server role on the computers
Enables the Scale-Out File Server role on the cluster
Adds the provisioned computers as a Scale-Out File Server cluster under VMM
management
* VMM provides support for the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target by using an SMI-S provider.
Microsoft iSCSI is now fully integrated into Windows Server 2012.
* Scale-Out File Server— As of System Center 2012 R2, VMM can create a Scale-Out File
Server and manage its storage.
Reference: How to Create a Scale-Out File Server in VMM
1. On Cluster2, Install the file server role service
2. On Cluster2, Install the scale-out file server fot application data (Scale-Out File Server) Option.
3. On Cluster1, add an iSCSI hard disk drive to VM1 and VM2.
1. On Cluster2, Install the file server role service
2. On Cluster2, Install the scale-out file server for application data (Scale-Out File Server) Option.
3. On cluster 1, add a SCSI hard disk drive to VM1 and VM2.
Although adding iSCSI is technically possible, you won’t need to add the Scale-Out File Server role to Cluster2 for that (actually, you would need to install the iSCSI target role on Cluster2 first).
What we need to do here is provide Shared Virtual Hard Disks to the guest cluster (Cluster3). Cluster3 will create these Shared VHDs by using storage space provided by Scale-Out File Server on Cluster 2. VHDS are added to VMS from “Settings” -> SCSI adapter.
I agree with Jean
