You need to ensure that running the disk maintenance tool does not cause a failover to occur

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 contains a file server role named FS1 and a
generic service role named SVC1. Server1 is the preferred node for FS1. Server2 is the preferred
node for SVC1.
You plan to run a disk maintenance tool on the physical disk used by FS1.
You need to ensure that running the disk maintenance tool does not cause a failover to occur.
What should you do before you run the tool?

Answer should be C.

Suspend-ClusterResource
Turn on maintenance for a disk resource or Cluster Shared Volume so that you can run a disk maintenance tool without triggering failover.

If answer is misspelled on the exam as it is here, will it be marked wrong?

No, I never come across any question on the exam that has ever been typed wrong.

These brain dumps are wrong.. remember people write down these questions from memory.

Correct Answer: C.

A –> Cluster.exe has no pause or offline parameters. there is “cluster node /pause” command and it is equivalent to Suspend-ClusterNode

B –> Cluster.exe has no offline parameters however there is “cluster group /offline” which is equivalent to Stop-ClusterGroup

C–> Suspend-ClusterResource Turn on maintenance for a disk resource or Cluster Shared Volume so that you can run a disk maintenance tool without triggering failover.

D–>Suspend-ClusterNode Suspend activity on a failover cluster node, that is, pause the node.

Suspend-ClusterResource
Turn on maintenance for a disk resource or Cluster Shared Volume so that you can run a disk maintenance tool without triggering failover.
This cmdlet applies to disks and Cluster Shared Volumes only. For Cluster Shared Volumes, turning on maintenance takes dependent resources offline, which interrupts client access. For other disks (LUNs) in cluster storage, turning on maintenance leaves dependent resources online.
