Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two
member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as
nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 has access to four physical disks. The disks are
configured as shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that all of the disks can be added to a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV).
Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose
two.)
A.
Format Disk2 to use NTFS.
B.
Format Disk3 to use NTFS.
C.
Enable BitLocker on Disk4.
D.
Disable BitLocker on Disk1.
Explanation:
A)
In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume must be a basic disk that is
partitioned with NTFS or ReFS, but you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT or
FAT32.D)
CSV supports bitlocker, but you would have to enable it on all nodes in the cluster. Therefore we
need to disable bitlocker on Disk1.
Incorrect:
Not B. ReFS would work fine. In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume
must be a basic disk that is partitioned with NTFS or ReFS.
Not C. Bitlocker must be enabled on all disks for it to work for a CSV.Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Failover Cluster

Answer is correct
Applies To: Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) enable multiple nodes in a failover cluster to simultaneously have read-write access to the same LUN (disk) that is provisioned as an NTFS volume. (In Windows Server 2012 R2, the disk can be provisioned as NTFS or Resilient File System (ReFS).) With CSV, clustered roles can fail over quickly from one node to another node without requiring a change in drive ownership, or dismounting and remounting a volume. CSV also help simplify the management of a potentially large number of LUNs in a failover cluster.

Section: Use CSVs in a Failover Cluster
Sub-Section: Storage and disk configuration requirements
First two points are:
A CSV has the following additional requirements:
In Windows Server 2012 R2, you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT or FAT32.
In Windows Server 2012, you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT, FAT32, or ReFS.
NOTICE ** you CAN use ReFS in 2012 R2…not 2012… In this question, all are 2012 R2!

Therefore we know CSV has issue with FAT32 – A is correct choice.
There are is no reason to format ReFS, and no reason to ENABLE bitlocker on disk 4…only remaining option is D
ANSWER = A + D
