A company has a Hyper-V host server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter edition. The
host server has a Generation 2 virtual machine (VM) that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard
edition. The drive that contains the VM system partition is at 90 percent of its capacity.
You have the following requirements:
The VM must continue to run during any system maintenance activities.
You must use the least amount of administrative effort to accomplish the task.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence? To answer, move the appropriate actions
from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in the correct order.
Answer: See the explanation
Explanation:
Box 1: Create a new file that uses the VHDX file format and attach it to the VM.
Box 2: Add the mew VHDX file to the VM.
Box 3: From the VM, extend the volume.Note:
* VHDX – the ability to expand and shrink virtual hard disks is exclusive to virtual hard disks that are
using the .vhdx file format. Online resizing is supported for VHDX disk types, including fixed,
differencing, and dynamic disks. Virtual hard disks that use the .vhd file format are not supported for
resizing operations.
* To make the full virtual hard disk capacity available to the virtual machine, you need to use Disk
Manager to expand the volume within the virtual machine. You can do this by using the Extend
Volume Wizard within Disk Manager.
CORRECT answer is :
From Hyper-V Manager, edit the disk
Expand the VHDX file
From the VM, extend the volume
The vhdx file is connected to a virtual SCSI controller because it’s a Gen 2 VM. This is a prereq for online vhdx resizing.
Its a GEN 2 Win 2012 R2 Server, therefore its disk format would be VHDX, so you can perform online disk resizing
