A company plans to create a Hyper-V test environment that will contain three virtual machines (VMs). The VMs
are projected to grow 1 GB in size each day. The VMs will be configured as follows:
You must minimize the required amount of storage space by using the least amount of administrative effort.
You need to recommend a storage solution.
Which type of virtual disk type should you configure for each VM?
A.
differencing
B.
dynamically expanding
C.
fixed
D.
pass-through
B. dynamically expanding the correct answer
You could use differencing disks if all VMs had the same OS and save the most space, but since SQL uses Win 2008 R2, i guess it would be too much “administrative effort” to create differencing disks for the VMs
I completely agree!!
Agreed.
Question states a hyper-v “test” environment, so it is ok to use dynamically expanding.
In production we wouldn’t use dynamically expanding disks for those server roles.
