Chapter 4 - Understanding Hyper-V

Question 1

On which of the following x64 editions of Windows Server 2016 does Hyper-V run? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Windows Server 2016 Web Edition
B. Windows Server 2016 Standard Edition
C. WindowsServer2016ItaniumEdition
D. Windows Server 2016 Datacenter Edition

Answer 1

B,D.Hyper-V can be installed on the Standard or Datacenter Editions of Windows Server 2016. Itanium, x86, and Web Editions are not supported.

Question 2

You want to build a test environment based on virtual machines on a single Windows Server 2016 machine, but you also want to make sure the virtual machines communicate with only each other. What type of virtual network do you need to configure?
A. External
B. Internal only
C. Private virtual machine network 
D. Public virtual machine network

Answer 2

C. The external virtual network type will allow the virtual machine to communicate with the external network as it would with the Internet, so A is wrong. The internal-only network type allows communication between the virtual machines and the host machine. Because the question says that only communication between the virtual machines should be allowed, the only valid answer is private virtual machine network. The last option, public virtual machine network, does not exist in Hyper-V.

Question 3

Andy wants to change the memory of a virtual machine that is currently powered up.What does he need to do?
A. Shut down the virtual machine, use the virtual machine’s settings to change the memory, and start it again.
B. Use the virtual machine’s settings to change the memory.
C. Pause the virtual machine, use the virtual machine’s settings to change the memory, and resume it.
D. Save the virtual machine, use the virtual machine’s settings to change the memory, and resume it.

Answer 3

A.This question focuses on the fact that you cannot change the memory if the virtual machine is running, paused, or saved. The only valid answer is to shut it down and then change the memory.

Question 4

You want to make sure the hard disk space for your virtual machines is occupied only when needed. What type of virtual hard disk would you recommend?
A. Dynamically expanding disk 
B. Fixed-size disk
C. Differencing disk
D. Physical or pass-through disk

Answer 4

A.The only virtual hard disk that increases in size is the dynamically expanding disk.Thus, this is the only valid answer to this question. The fixed-size disk creates a disk of the size you specify, the differencing disk is a special disk that stores only the differences between it and a parent disk, and the physical disk uses a physical drive and makes it available to the virtual machine

Question 5

How do you add a physical disk to a virtual machine?
A. Use the Virtual Hard Disk Wizard.
B. Use the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard.
C. Use the virtual machine’s settings.
D. Use the New Virtual Machine Wizard.

Answer 5

C.Physical hard disks cannot be configured using the Virtual Hard Disk Wizard, the Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard, or the New Virtual Machine Wizard. You can configure and attach a physical disk only by using the virtual machine’s settings.

Question 6

Rich bought a new server with an Itanium IA-64 processor, 4GB RAM, and a SAN that provides 1 TB hard disk space. After installing Windows Server 2016 for Itanium-based systems, he wants to install Hyper-V on this server. Can Hyper-V be installed on this system?
A. Yes
B. No

Answer 6

B.Hyper-V is not supported on Itanium-based systems , thus he cannot install it.

Question 7

What are the minimum CPU requirements for running Hyper-V on a machine?(Choose all that apply.)
A. An x64-based processor (Intel or AMD).
B. Hardware Data Execution Protection(DEP)must be enabled. C. Hardware-assisted virtualization must be enabled.
D. The processor must at least have a dual core.

Answer 7

A,B,C.The minimum CPU requirement for running Hyper-V is a x64-based processor (Itanium is not supported), hardware Data Execution Protection must be enabled, and hardware-assisted virtualization must be enabled. There is no minimum requirement for a dual-core processor.

Question 8

What is the command to install Hyper-V on a Windows Server 2016 machine that was installed in Server Core?
A. start /w ocsetup Hyper-V
B. start /w ocsetup microsoft-hyper-v 
C. start /w ocsetup Microsoft-Hyper-V 
D. start /w ocsetup hyper-v

Answer 8

C.This question relates to the setup command used to install the Hyper-V server role on a Windows Server 2016 Server Core machine. It’s important to remember that these commands are case sensitive, and that the correct command is start / wocsetup Microsoft-Hyper-V, which is option C. All of the other commands will fail to install Hyper-V on a Server Core machine.

Question 9

On what operating systems can you install the Hyper-V Manager MMC?(Choose all that apply.)
A. Windows Server 2012 R2 
B. Windows Server 2003
C. Windows 10
D. Windows 7, Windows 8

Answer 9

A,C,D.The Hyper-V Manager is available only for Windows Server 2012 R2/2012/2008 R2/2008, Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7. There is no version available that runs on Windows Server 2003.

Question 10

What statement is correct for an external virtual network?
A. The virtual machines can communicate with each other and with the host machine.
B. The virtual machines can communicate with each other only.
C. The virtual machines can communicate with each other, with the host machine, and with an external network.
D. The virtual machines cannot communicate with each other.

Answer 10

C.The virtual network type in which the machines communicate with each other and with the host machine is called internal only. In a private virtual network, the virtual machines can communicate only with each other, not with the network or the host machine. The external network type defines a network where the virtual machines can communicate with each other, with the host machine, and with an external network like the Internet.
