A company has offices in Hamburg, New York, and SanFrancisco. The Hamburg office has one Hyper-V host
server named HAM-HOST1. The New York office has twoHyper-V host servers named NYC-HOST1 and NYCHOST2. The San Francisco office has one Hyper-V host server named SFC-HOST1. All Hyper-V host servers
run Windows Server 2012 R2.
You must deploy an application virtual machine (VM)that will be used by the sales team at the company.
You need to ensure that the VM remains available during unplanned system outages.
Which solution should you implement?
A.
a Hyper-V cluster that includes NYC-HOST1 and NYC-HOST2
B.
Server Message Block (SMB) 3.0 file shares on NYC-HOST1, NYC-HOST2, SFC- HOST1, and HAMHOST1
C.
a Distributed File System (DFS) replication between NYC-HOST1, SFC-HOST1, and HAM-HOST1
D.
dynamic optimization on NYC-HOST1 and NYC-HOST2
Why A is correct answer? I think it should be B.
I think that A is wrong.
In the question, one condition is to ensure that keeps VM available during unplanned system outages, like power down.
in case of power down, both NYC-HOST1 and NYC-HOST2, will be down.
so A is wrong.
I’d say B.
And how you live migrate automatically with SMB?
This you can do on the cluster only.
A vote for A
“…remains available during unplanned system outages” = HA
The only way to implement VMs in High availability (HA) is using a cluster.
Best answer is A
This is a poor question but the only answer that makes sense is A.
It is not SMB because:
The two supported Hyper-V configurations for Hyper-V over SMB are:
-Standalone Hyper-V servers (not a high availability solution)
-Hyper-V servers configured in a failover cluster.

I think that the correct answer is B, bacause:

The following table describes the new features and improvements for SMB 3.0 in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Hyper-V Live Migration over SMB
New
Enables you to perform a live migration of virtual machines by using SMB 3.0 as a transport. This allows you to take advantage of key SMB features, such as SMB Direct and SMB Multichannel, by providing high speed migration with low CPU utilization.
oops.. I was wrong. answer A looks correct
Could not be A. When the power is down in New York, the VM is not available.
Why not just C? Replication to all other Hyper-v hosts?
then the site is down, not the system. We only need to prevent a system outage.
