*****You have two failover clusters named Cluster1 and Cluster2. All of the nodes in both of the clusters run
Windows Server 2012 R2.
Cluster1 hosts two virtual machines named VM1 and VM2.
You plan to configure VM1 and VM2 as nodes in a new failover cluster named Cluster3.
You need to configure the witness disk for Cluster3 to be hosted on Cluster2.
Which three actions should you perform in sequence?
To answer, move the appropriate three actions from the list of actions to the answer area and arrange them in
the correct order.

Explanation:
Note:
* Use the Create Clustered File Server Wizard
When you create a Scale-Out File Server Cluster from existing servers, the Create Clustered File Server
Wizard does the following:
Enables the file server role on the computers
Enables the Scale-Out File Server role on the cluster
Adds the provisioned computers as a Scale-Out File Server cluster under VMM management
* VMM provides support for the Microsoft iSCSI Software Target by using an SMI-S provider. Microsoft iSCSI is
now fully integrated into Windows Server 2012.
* Scale-Out File Server– As of System Center 2012 R2, VMM can create a Scale-Out File Server and manage
its storage.
How to Create a Scale-Out File Server in VMM
I believ that the 3rd box should be:
On Cluster1, Add a SCSI hard disk to VM1 and VM2
Step 3: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn265980.aspx
There was a long discussion on this one in all previos versions, and I’m still not sure about it.
I agree with you, since what’s actually is being used then is a Shared VMDX file attached as a SCSI disk to the nodes:

Agreed, nothing to do with iSCSI
I’m not 100% sure on this, however I believe the answer should be:
1. On Cluster2 Install the File Server role service.
2. On Cluster2, install the File Server for General use option.
3. On Cluster1, add a SCSI hard disk drive to VM1 and VM2.
Reason being, is that Witness disks should not be dynamic disks. They should be fixed disks.
A scale out file system would be ideal for the CSV volumes that host the VMs & VM virtual drives, but I do not believe it would be ideal for a Witness disk.
