You have a Windows Server 2012 R2 failover cluster that contains four nodes. Each node
has four network adapters. The network adapters on each node are configured as shown in
the following table.
NIC4 supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RDMA) and Receive Side Scaling (RSS).
The cluster networks are configured as shown in the following table.
You need to ensure that ClusterNetwork4 is used for Cluster Shared Volume (CSV)
redirected traffic.
What should you do?
A.
Set the metric of ClusterNetwork4 to 90,000 and disable SMB Multichannel.
B.
On each server, replace NIC4 with a 1 -Gbps network adapter.
C.
Set the metric of ClusterNetwork4 to 30,000 and disable SMB Multichannel.
D.
On each server, enable RDMA on NIC4.
What if the answers were:
a. Prevents clients from connecting to ClusterNetwork4
b. On each server, enable RDMA on NIC4.
c. On each server, replace NIC4 with a 1-Gbps network adapter.
d. Set the metric of ClusterNetwork4 to 30,000 and enable SMB Multichannel
I think the answer is still D

I agree. SMB Multichannel will take precedence. If you disable it the NetFT priorities will determine transmit precedence.
Agreed D: is correct.
Great Article talking about this.

My Fault… C: is Correct.
Set Metric to 30,000 and disable SMB.
This says why.

Agreed this is C

b. On each server, enable RDMA on NIC4.
