Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain
contains four servers on a test network. The servers are configured as shown in the following table.
Server1 uses the storage shown in the following table.
You perform the following tasks:
On Server2F you create an advanced SMB share named Share2A and an applications SMB
share named Share2B.
On Server3, you create an advanced SMB share named Share3.
On Server4, you create an applications SMB share named Share4.
You add Server3 and Server4 to a new failover cluster named Clus1.
On Clus1, you configure the File Server for general use role, you create a quick SMB share
named Share5A, and then you create an applications SMB share named Share5B.
You plan to create a failover cluster of two virtual machines hosted on Server1. The
clustered virtual machines will use shared .vhdx files.
You need to recommend a location to store the shared .vhdx files.
Where should you recommend placing the virtual hard disk (VHD)?
A.
\\Server3\Share3
B.
\\Server2\Share2B
C.
\\Clus1 \Share5B
D.
\\Server4\Share4
C
İs correct answer ?
C is the correct answer. It has to be on an application smb share because its vhdx and you would want it protected on a cluster.

It’s not C. It says the Cluster is configured for File Server for General Use. You can’t use shared vhdx on general use file servers. They have to be scale-out or application share.
The correct answer is applications SMB share. B and D are both the same and both correct. The answer set on this question is wrong. Only one of the answer is supposed to have applications SMB share.
C is correct. VHDX files can be housed on a continuously-available SMB share on a Windows Storage Server 2012 R2 failover cluster.
Shared VHDs cannot use General Use file servers:
A Hyper-V guest failover cluster that uses a shared virtual hard disk has two preferred deployment models. The shared virtual hard disk for the guest failover cluster can be deployed on:
– Cluster Shared Volumes (CSVs) on block storage (including clustered Storage Spaces).
– Scale-Out File Server with SMB 3.0 on file-based storage.
