Q 
You are the network administrator for your company network. You have a two-node Hyper-V cluster named Cluster1. A virtual machine named VM1 runs on Cluster1. You need to configure monitoring of VM1. What tool should you use if you need to move VM1 to a different node if the Print Spooler service on VM1 stops unexpectedly?
A. The clussvc.exe command
B. The cluster.exe command
C. The Computer Management console
D. The configurehyperv.exe command
E. The Disk Management console
F. The Failover Cluster Manager console
G. The Hyper-V Manager console
H. The Server Manager Desktop app
A

F. The Failover Cluster Manager console is the tool that you’d want to use if the Print Spooler service on one virtual machine stops unexpectedly. You can move the virtual machine to another node. Failover Cluster Manager, also called VM monitoring, allows you to monitor the health state of applications that are running within a virtual machine and then reports that to the host level so that it can take recovery actions. You can moni- tor any Windows service (such as the Print Spooler service) in your virtual machine. When the condition you are monitoring gets triggered, the Cluster Service logs an event and takes recovery actions.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have five Hyper-V hosts that are
configured as shown here:
Hyper-V Host Name Configuration
Server1 Windows Server 2012 R2 and an Intel Xeon E7 Processor
Server2 Windows Server 2012 R2 and an Intel i7 Processor
Server3 Windows Server 2016 and an Intel i7 Processor
Server4 Windows Server 2016 and an AMD Opteron Processor
Server5 Windows Server 2016 and an Intel Xeon E7 Processor

What are two valid Live Migration scenarios for virtual machines in your environment? (Choose two.)
A. From Server4 to Server5
B. From Server1 to Server5
C. From Server3 to Server4
D. From Server2 to Server3
A

B and D. Hyper-V Live Migration is a Microsoft Hyper-V feature that allows an adminis- trator to move virtual machines (VMs) between clustered hosts without noticeable service interruption. Live Migration can be initiated through the Failover Cluster Manager, PowerShell, or the Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM). Live Migration from AMD to Intel or vice versa cannot be done, so options A and C are incorrect. That would leave B (Xeon to Xeon) and D (Intel i7 to Intel i7).

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a computer named Computer1 that has the following four hard disk drives installed:
Drive A: 500 GB OS volume 
Drive B: 400 GB data volume 
Drive C: 400 GB empty volume 
Drive D: 500 GB empty volume
Using Storage Spaces, you want to create a two-way mirror. Which drives should you
use while minimizing data loss?
A. Drive A and Drive B
B. Drive A and Drive D
C. Drive B and Drive C
D. Drive C and Drive D
A

D. Since you are creating a two-way mirror, you will require at least two disks. This writes two copies of your data on the drives, which can protect your data from a single drive fail- ure. Since you want to minimize data loss, you should use drives C and D, as there is noth- ing on them.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network.You purchase a new desktop computer. You have six external USB hard drives and you want to create a single volume by using these USB drives. You want the volume to be expandable, portable, and resilient in the event of simultaneous failure of two USB hard drives. What should you do to create the volume?
A. From Control Panel, create a new Storage Space across six USB hard drives. Set resiliency type to three-way mirror.
B. From Control Panel, create a new Storage Space across six USB hard drives. Set resiliency type to parity.
C. From Disk Management, create a new spanned volume.
D. From Disk Management, create a new striped volume.

A

A. Storage Spaces supports four types of resiliency: single, two-way mirror, three-way mir- ror, and parity. This question states failure of two USB drives. So the answer would be a three-way mirror. This option works similar to the two-way mirror, but it writes three cop- ies of your data on the drives, which will help you to protect your data from two simultane- ous drive failures. Three-way mirror requires at least three drives.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You purchase a new desktop computer that has four external USB hard drives. You want to create a single volume by using the four USB drives. You want the volume to be expandable, portable, and resilient in the event of failure of an individual USB hard drive. What should you do?
A. From the Control Panel, create a new Storage Space across four USB hard drives. Set resiliency type to three-way mirror.
B. From the Control Panel, create a new Storage Space across four USB hard drives. Set resiliency type to parity.
C. From Disk Management, create a new spanned volume.
D. From Disk Management, create a new striped volume.

A

B. Storage Spaces supports four types of resiliency: single, two-way mirror, three-way mir- ror, and parity. This question states failure of an individual USB drive. So the answer would be to set resiliency type to parity. Selecting the parity resiliency type allows Windows to store parity information with the data, thereby protecting you from a single drive failure.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have four Windows Server 2016 servers named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4. Each server has a single 4 TB SATA hard disk. You attach a new 4 TB SATA hard disk to each server. You need to create a new storage cluster that uses Storage Spaces Direct. The storage pool must contain all of the new disks. What command should you run before you enable Storage Spaces Direct?
A. Get-ClusterAvailableDisk -Cluster Cluster1 | Add-ClusterDisk
B. Add-ClusterSharedVolume -Name “Disk 1” -Cluster Cluster 1
C. New-Cluster -Name Cluster1 -Node ‘Server1’, Server2, Server3, Server4 -NoStorage
D. New-ClusterStorageEnclosure -id 1 -name Cluster 1 -type jbod -ConnectionString Server1, Server2, Server3, Server4

A

C. Before enabling Storage Spaces Direct, you must create a new cluster using the New-Cluster cmdlet. The New-Cluster cmdlet creates a new failover cluster. “New-Cluster –Name Cluster1 –Node ‘Server1’, ‘Server2’, ‘Server3’, ‘Server4’ –NoStorage” is the correct syntax code to create a new storage cluster that uses Storage Spaces Direct. This creates a four-node cluster named Cluster1. The cluster will not have any clustered storage or disk resources.

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You decide to implement Switch Embedded Teaming (SET). You and a colleague are discussing creating a new SET team. You must configure it so that you have member adapters and load balancing mode configured. Which load balancing mode ensures that outbound loads are distributed based on a hash of the TCP ports and IP addresses? This mode also re-balances loads in real time so that a given outbound flow can move back and forth between SET team members.
A. Dynamic
B. Hyper-V Port
C. Dynamic Hyper-V
D. Outbound
A

A. When you create a new SET team, you must configure the member adapters and Load Balancing Mode team properties. The options for SET team load balancing distribution mode are Hyper-V Port and Dynamic. The Dynamic Load Balancing Mode provides the following:
■■ Outbound loads are distributed based on a hash of the TCP ports and IP addresses. Dynamic mode also re-balances loads in real time so that a given outbound flow can move back and forth between SET team members.
■■ Inbound loads are distributed in the same manner as the Hyper-V Port mode.
This question is asking about load balancing—thus, the answer would be Dynamic mode.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Hyper-V failover
cluster that contains three nodes. The virtual machines are distributed evenly across the cluster nodes. Which settings should you modify if you need to ensure that if a node loses connectivity from the other nodes that the virtual machines on the node will be transitioned to one of the remaining nodes after one minute?
A. ResiliencyPeriod and ResiliencyLevel
B. SameSubnetDelay and CrossSubnetDelay
C. QuorumArbitrationTimeMax and RequestReplyTimeout
D. QuarantineDuration and QuarantineThreshold

A

C. The quorum arbitration time setting is used to set the limit of the time period that is allowed for quorum arbitration. Quorum arbitration is the process that occurs when the con- trolling node of the cluster is no longer active and other nodes of the cluster attempt to gain control of the quorum resource and thus control of the cluster. QuorumArbitrationTimeMax specifies the maximum number of seconds a node is allowed to spend arbitrating for the quo- rum resource in a cluster. RequestReplyTimeout describes the length of time a request from a node with a cluster state update will wait for replies from the other healthy nodes before the request times out.

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 failover cluster named Cluster1 that contains three nodes named Server1, Server2, and Server3. Each node hosts several virtual machines. The virtual machines are configured to fail over to another node in Cluster1 if the hosting node fails. What setting should you configure if you need to ensure that if the Cluster service fails on one of the nodes, the virtual machine of that node will fail over immediately?
A. FailureConditionLevel 
B. QuarantineDuration
C. ResiliencyPeriod
D. ResiliencyLevel
A

D. You will need to set ResiliencyLevel. This defines how unknown failures are handled. Level 1 allows the node to be in an isolated state only if the node gave a notification and
it went away for a known reason; otherwise, it fails immediately. Known reasons include
a Cluster Service crash or Asymmetric Connectivity between nodes. Level 2 always lets a node go to an isolated state and gives it time before taking over ownership of the VMs. This is the default value: (Get-Cluster).ResiliencyLevel = .

What commands should you run if you need to create a failover cluster that contains both servers? (Choose two.)
A. New-Cluster-Name Cluster1-Node Server1, Server2-AdministrativeAccessPoint ActiveDirectoryAndDns
B. New-Cluster-Name Cluster1-Node Server1, Server2-AdministrativeAccessPoint DNS
C. New-Cluster-Name Cluster1-Node Server1, Server2-AdministrativeAccessPoint None
D. wmic ComputerSystem Set Workgroup= “Workgroup2”
E. netdom computername Server1/MakePrimary:server1.abc.com

A

B and D. The New-Cluster cmdlet creates a new failover cluster. The -Name parameter specifies the name of the cluster to create. The -Node parameter specifies a comma- separated list of cluster node names, or server names, on which to create the cluster. The -AdministrativeAccessPoint specifies the type of administrative access point that the cmdlet creates for the cluster. The DNS cmdlet creates an administrative access point for the cluster. The administrative access point is registered in DNS but is not enabled in Active Directory Domain Services. Using the WMI command-line (WMIC) utility provides a command-line interface for WMI. WMIC is compatible with existing shells and utility commands. In this question you are adding both servers to Workgroup2.

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You need to perform maintenance against a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster node, but you do not want to terminate current connections. What should you use?
A. Evict
B. Drainstop 
C. Stop
D. Pause
A

B. Drainstop is the function that allows the current session to end before stopping the clus- ter on the node. Evict is used to remove a node completely from a failover cluster. Stop will immediately end the cluster service on the NLB cluster node, not allowing the current ses- sion to complete. Pause is used to keep resources from failing over to a failover cluster node.

A and D. The two types are as follows:
■■ Public Network: This is the network through which clients are able to connect to the
clustered service application.
■■ Private Network: This is the network used by the nodes to communicate with each other.

44
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. Your network contains an Active Directory domain that contains two Windows Server 2016 member servers named Server1 and Server2, which both have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. You add two additional nodes to the cluster. What should you configure to make sure that Cluster1 will stop running if three nodes fail?
A. Set the node to Affinity-None. 
B. Set the failover settings.
C. Set the cluster quorum settings. 
D. Set the node to Affinity-Single.
A

C. The quorum configuration in a failover cluster determines the number of failures that the cluster can sustain. The cluster quorum settings will tell the cluster which physical server(s) should be active at any given time

45
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing the Virtual Machine Load Balancing feature, which is new to Windows Server 2016. This new load balancing feature helps optimize the nodes in a cluster. To set up Node Fairness, you use the PowerShell command (Get-Cluster).AutoBalancerLevel = . If you want a Low setting, which setting do you choose?
A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. Low
A

A. The input can be 1, 2, or 3. 1 is equivalent to the Low setting (move the host when showing more than 80 percent loaded), 2 is equivalent to Medium (move the host when more than 70 percent loaded), and 3 is equivalent to High (move the host when show- ing more than 5 percent above the average).

46
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. Your network contains an Active Directory domain that contains a Windows Server 2016 server named Server1 and has the DHCP Server role installed. Server1 has an IPv6 scope named Scope1. You implement an additional DHCP server named Server2 that runs Windows Server 2016. What should you do if you need to provide high availability for Scope1?
A. Create a scope on Server2.
B. Configure DHCP failover on Server1.
C. Install and configure Failover Clustering on Server1 and Server2.
D. Install and configure Network Load Balancing (NLB) on Server1 and Server2.

A

B. Configure DHCP failover on the server that created the scope. In this case, Server1 cre- ated Scope1, therefore DHCP Failover should be configured on Server1. The DHCP Failover feature allows high availability of the service without using cluster services.

47
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. The network contains an Active Directory domain. Your company has a main office and a remote office. The remote office is used for disaster recovery. The domain contains Windows Server 2016 member servers named Server1, Server2, and Server3. Server1 and Server2 are located in the main office. Server3 is located in the remote office. All servers have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. Storage is replicated between the main office and the remote site. What are two possible quorum configurations if you need to ensure that Cluster1 is available if two nodes in the same office fail? (Choose two.)
A. Majority Node
B. No Majority: Disk Only
C. Node and Disk Majority
D. Node and File Share Majority
A

A and B. The quorum configuration in a failover cluster determines the number of failures
that the cluster can sustain. There are four quorum types:
■■ The Majority Node option is recommended for clusters with an odd number of nodes. This configuration can handle a loss of half of the number of cluster nodes rounded off downward.
■■ The No Majority: Disk Only option requires only one active cluster node to keep the cluster active; the quorum is stored on a disk. This disk becomes a single point of failure and therefore a risk.
■■ The Node and Disk Majority option is recommended for clusters with an even number of nodes and provides multiple possibilities regarding the failure of nodes and therefore the maximum number of nodes that may fail before the cluster goes down.
■■ The Node and File Share Majority option is similar to Node and Disk Majority, but in this case the disk is replaced by a file share (also called the File Share Witness Resource).

48
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You have a Windows Server 2016 virtual machine named VM1. VM1 hosts a service that requires high network throughput. VM1 has a virtual network adapter that connects to a Hyper-V switch named vSwitch1 that has one network adapter. The network adapter supports Remote Direct Memory Access (RMDA), the Single Root I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV) interface, Quality of Service (QoS), and Receive Side Scaling (RSS). What PowerShell command should you run on the host of VM1 if you need to ensure that the traffic from VM1 can be processed by multiple networking processors?
A. Set-NetAdapterQoS 
B. Set-NetAdapterSriov 
C. Set-NetAdapterRdma 
D. Set-NetAdapterRss
A

D. The Set-NetAdapterRss cmdlet sets the Receive Side Scaling (RSS) properties on a network adapter. RSS is a scalability technology that distributes the receive network traffic among multiple processors by hashing the header of the incoming packet.

49
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You have decided to set up a Network Load Balancing (NLB) cluster. What cmdlet should you use if you want to use PowerShell to set up the cluster?
A. Set-NlbCluster
B. Create-NlbCluster 
C. New-NlbCluster
D. Setup-NlbCluster
A

C. To create a new NLB cluster, you would use the PowerShell cmdlet New-NlbCluster.

50
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have an application named App1. App1 is distributed in a multitenant setup across multiple Hyper-V virtual machines. What should you include in the environment if you need to ensure that the traffic is distributed evenly among the virtual machines that host App1?
A. Network Controller and Windows Server Network Load Balancing (NLB) nodes
B. Network Controller and Windows Server Software Load Balancing (SLB) nodes
C. RAS Gateway and Windows Server Software Load Balancing (SLB) nodes
D. RAS Gateway and Windows Server Network Load Balancing (NLB) nodes

A

C. RAS Gateway is a software router and gateway that you can use in either single tenant mode or multitenant mode. For multitenant mode, it is recommended that you deploy RAS Gateway on VMs that are running Windows Server 2016. Software Load Balancing allows administrators to have multiple servers hosting the same virtual networking workload in a multitenant environment. This allows an administrator to set up high availability.

51
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing Network Load Balancing (NLB). Which of the following actions should be performed against an NLB cluster node if maintenance needs to be performed and all connections must be terminated immediately?
A. Evict
B. Drainstop 
C. Pause
D. Stop
A

D. If you want to stop the entire cluster from running, while in the NLB Manager (choose Start ➢Run and then type NLBmgr), you would right-click the cluster, point to Control Hosts, and then choose Stop. If you’re using the Stop command, the cluster stops immedi- ately and any current connections to the NLB cluster are killed. This question states that all connections must be terminated immediately; hence, you would want to use Stop.

52
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing stopping virtual machine replication. What PowerShell command would you use if you wanted to stop virtual machine replication?
A. Stop-VMReplication
B. Terminate-VMReplication 
C. Kill-VMReplication
D. Drainstop-VMReplication
A

A. The PowerShell cmdlet Stop-VMReplication will stop virtual machine replication from happening. So, the Stop-VMReplication cmdlet cancels an ongoing virtual machine resyn- chronization.

53
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You are planning on configuring Network Load Balancing (NLB). To configure an NLB cluster with unicast, what is the minimum number of network adapters required in each node?
A. One 
B. Two 
C. Three 
D. Six
A

B. To use unicast communication between NLB cluster nodes, each node must have a mini- mum of two network adapters.

54
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You use Network Load Balancing (NLB). Users who are connecting to an NLB cluster have been complaining that after using the site for a few minutes they are prompted to log in using their username. What should you do to fix the problem and retain scalability?
A. Create a port rule to allow only ports 80 and 443.
B. Set the cluster affinity to None.
C. Set the filtering mode to Single Host.
D. Set the cluster affinity to Single.

A

D. Setting the cluster affinity to Single will send all traffic from a specific IP address to a single cluster node. Using this affinity will keep a client on a specific node where the client should not have to authenticate again. Setting the filtering mode to Single would remove the authentication problem but would not distribute the load to other servers unless the initial server was down.

55
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You use Network Load Balancing (NLB). Users who are connecting to an NLB cluster through the Internet are complaining that they keep connecting to different NLB nodes in different locations. What should you do if you want to keep Internet users connecting to the same NLB members each time they connect?
A. Create a port rule to allow only ports 80 and 443.
B. Set the cluster affinity to None.
C. Set the cluster affinity to Class C.
D. Set the cluster affinity to Single

A

C. When setting the affinity to Class C, NLB links clients with a specific member based on the Class C part of the client’s IP address. This allows an administrator to set up NLB so that clients from the same Class C address range can access the same NLB member. This affinity is best for NLB clusters using the Internet.

56
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You are planning on implementing site-aware clustering. What two PowerShell commands would you use to help you set up site-aware clustering? (Choose two.)
A. (Get-Cluster).CrossSiteDelay =
B. (Get-Cluster).CrossSiteThreshold = C. (Add-Cluster).CrossSiteDelay =
D. (Add-Cluster).CrossSiteThreshold =

A

A and B. The first PowerShell command, (Get-Cluster).CrossSiteDelay, is used to set the amount of time between the heartbeats sent to nodes. This value is in milliseconds (the default is 1,000).
The second PowerShell command, (Get-Cluster).CrossSiteThreshold, is the value that you set for the number of missed heartbeats (the default is 20) before the node is considered offline.

57

D. Update-ClusterVirtualMachineConfiguration

A

A. The Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet allows an administrator to enable highly available Storage Spaces that use directly attached storage, Storage Spaces Direct (S2D), on a cluster

59
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing when to use the Validate a Configuration Wizard. If you have a running cluster and need to run the Validate a Configuration Wizard, which of the following tests may require cluster resources to be taken offline?
A. Network tests
B. Storage tests
C. System configuration tests 
D. Inventory tests
A

B. The storage tests require the clustered disk resource to be offline. If you need to run the storage tests, the Validate a Configuration Wizard will prompt you to make sure you want to take the resources offline.

60
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing the Failover Clustering feature versus Network Load Balancing (NLB). Which of the following applications would be better suited on a failover cluster instead of a network load-balanced cluster? (Choose all that apply.)
A. SQL Server
B. Website
C. Exchange Mailbox Server
D. VPN services
A

A and C. SQL Server and Exchange Server are supported only on failover clusters. Websites and VPN services are network-based services, so they are better suited for NLB clusters.

61
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You plan to set up and test a cluster.
What PowerShell cmdlet would you use to run a validation test on a cluster?
A. Test-Cluster
B. Validate-Cluster C. Set-Cluster
D. Add-Cluster

A

A. You would want use the Test-Cluster cmdlet to complete validation tests for a cluster. The Test-Cluster cmdlet runs validation tests for failover cluster hardware and settings. Tests can be run both before and after a cluster is set up.

62
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing site-aware failover clusters. What is the mechanism that is used in clustering to see if a node is online or if the node is not responding?
A. Testbeat 
B. Heartbeat 
C. Testnode 
D. Pulse
A

B. The cluster heartbeat is a signal sent between servers so they know that the machines are up and running. Servers send heartbeats and, after five nonresponsive heartbeats, the cluster assumes that the node was offline. Cross-Site Heartbeating is the same signal but with longer timeouts to allow for cluster nodes in remote locations.

63
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing cluster quorums. In a four-node cluster set to a Node and File Share Majority quorum model, how many votes can be lost before quorum is lost?
A. One

68
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have a two-node cluster and have a specific resource that fails frequently but is not crucial to the functionality. What would you do to keep the resource from causing the entire application from failing to the other node while still providing redundancy for the application when needed?
A. Deselect the option to allow the resource to fail over the service or application.
B. Remove one node of the possible owners from the cluster nodes.
C. Select the option to run the resource in a separate resource monitor.
D. Select the option to allow the resource to fail over the service or application.

A

A. To keep the failed resource from causing the entire application to fail over, the option to allow the resource to fail over the service or application must be unchecked. Removing the possible owners from the clustered application would keep the application from failover even when needed. Running the resource in a separate resource monitor does not change how it affects the failover of the application.

69
Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You and a colleague are discussing a high availability plan that is usually expressed in percentages of the time the application is available. What type of high availability plan is being discussed?
A. Disaster Recovery (DR)
B. Service Level Agreement (SLA)
C. Recovery Point Objective (RPO)
D. Recovery Time Objective (RTO)
A

B. A Service Level Agreement (SLA) defines the services and metrics that must be met for the availability and performance of an application or service. SLAs are usually expressed in percentages of the time the application is available. These percentages are also often referred to by the number of nines the percentage includes.

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You are planning to install Storage Spaces Direct. You and a colleague are discussing the various deployment options available. Your colleague is discussing the option where there is only one cluster for storage and compute; this option reduces the hardware costs for associated deployments. What option is being discussed?
A. Converged
B. Scale-Out File Server (SoFS)
C. Hyper-Converged
D. Network Attached Storage (NAS)
A

C. In Hyper-Converged, there is only one cluster for storage and compute. The Hyper- Converged deployment option runs the Hyper-V virtual machines or SQL Server databases directly on the servers delivering the storage, storing all files on the local volumes.

Q 
You are the administrator for your company network. You are planning to install Storage Spaces Direct. You and a colleague are discussing the various deployment options available. Your colleague is discussing the option in which there are separate clusters for each storage and compute, which allows for scaling computer/workloads separately from the storage cluster. What option is being discussed?
A. Converged
B. Scale-Out File Server (SoFS)
C. Hyper-Converged
D. Network Attached Storage (NAS)
A

A. In Converged, there are separate clusters for each storage and compute. The Converged deployment option, also called Disaggregated, puts a Scale-Out File Server (SoFS) on top of Storage Spaces Direct to provide Network Attached Storage (NAS) over SMB3 file shares. This allows for scaling computer/workloads separately from the storage cluster.

A. 2 
B. 4 
C. 8 
D. 16
A

D. Storage Spaces Direct requires a minimum of 2 servers and a maximum of 16 servers. All servers should be the same make and model.

77
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You are discussing Network Load Balancing (NLB) features with a colleague. NLB uses what networking protocol to distribute traffic?
A. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) B. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
C. File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
D. Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

A

A. The NLB feature uses the TCP/IP networking protocol to distribute traffic. For web servers and other necessary servers, NLB can provide performance and consistency when two or more computers are combined into a single virtual cluster.

78
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You know that if the primary or secondary (extended) host server location goes offline, you can manually initiate failover and that it’s not automatic. There are several types of manually initiating failover. Which one is being described if you verify that the replica virtual machine can successfully start in the secondary site?
A. Planned Failover
B. Unplanned Failover C. Test Failover
D. Scheduled Failover

A

C. Use Test Failover to verify that the replica virtual machine can successfully start in the secondary site. It will create a copy test virtual machine during failover and does not affect standard replication. After the test failover, if the administrator selects Failover on the rep- lica test virtual machine, the test failover will be deleted. There are several types of manu- ally initiating failover—Test Failover, Planned Failover, and Unplanned Failover.

79
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. One advantage in Windows Server 2016 is dynamic quorum management. Which statement best describes dynamic quorum management?
A. Allows you to assign or remove quorum votes on a per-node basis B. Allows you to manually manage the vote assignment to nodes
C. Allows you to remove votes from the nodes in the backup site
D. Automatically manages the vote assignment to nodes

A

D. Dynamic quorum management automatically manages the vote assignment to nodes. With this feature enabled, votes are automatically added or removed from nodes when that node either joins or leaves a cluster. Dynamic quorum management is enabled by default.

Q

You are the administrator for your company network. Windows Server 2016 allows you to set up a cluster without using Active Directory dependencies. Administrators can create clusters in which of the following situations? (Choose all that apply.)
A. All nodes in the cluster are part of the same domain.
B. Nodes in the cluster are part of different domains.
C. Nodes are member servers and part of a workgroup.
D. It can be a single-domain, multidomain, or workgroup cluster.

A

A, B, C, and D. One nice new advantage of using Windows Server 2016 is the ability to set up a cluster on systems not part of the same domain. Windows Server 2016 allows you to set up a cluster without using Active Directory dependencies. Administrators can create clusters in the following situations:
■■ Single-domain cluster
■■ All nodes in a cluster are part of the same domain
■■ Multidomain cluster
■■ Nodes in the cluster are part of different domains
■■ Workgroup cluster
■■ Nodes are member servers and part of a workgroup

81
Q

You are the administrator for your company network. You have a failover cluster and you make a software change to the cluster. What should you do to identify if there are any issues that can cause a problem with the failover cluster?
A. Check the Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).
B. Run the Validate a Configuration Wizard.
C. Restart the cluster.
D. Run the Validate Software Wizard.

A

B. You should run the Validate A Configuration Wizard before creating a cluster or after making any major hardware or software changes to the cluster. Doing so will help you iden- tify any misconfigurations that could cause problems with the failover cluster.
