As a result of multiple design meetings, it has been stated that the company creating the virtual
architecture will be using a NAS device as its storage choice. There is a functional requirement to
run a Microsoft application in a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) environment. What is the risk in
this setup?
A.
The cluster will not perform well in a virtual environment.
B.
The cluster will take up a lot of storage space, requiring an abnormal amount of storage.
C.
MSCS requires raw device mappings, which cannot be created on a NAS.
D.
There will be excessive IOPS as a result of the cluster.
Explanation:
If the organization uses only NFS datastores, raw device mappings cannot be created. A
NAScreates shares that accesses storage at the file level, rather than LUNs that access storage at
the block level.
