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 :
Explanation:
- From Hyper-V Manager, edit the disk
- Expand the VHDX file
- From the VM, extend the volume
You administer a server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2 with the Hyper-V role installed.
You plan to deploy a new virtual machine (VM) to the server. The data stored by the VM doubles each month.
You have the following requirements:
-> The virtual hard disk (VHD) must minimize the storage space requirements.
-> Changes to the VHD must NOT require user intervention.
You need to create the VHD. What should you create?
Answer : C
A company has a Windows Server 2012 R2 Hyper-V environment that includes two separate Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) domains. The environment also has three servers named HOST1, HOST2, and HOST3 that have the Hyper-V role installed.
HOST1 and HOST2 are configured as a failover cluster. The environment is configured as shown in the following diagram:
Answer :
Explanation:
A company has a Windows Server 2012 R2 server named NYC-HOST1 that has the
Hyper-V role installed. The host server hosts two virtual machines named SALES1 and
SALES2. NYC-HOST1 uses storage spaces with tiered storage. The storage spaces contain both solid state disks (SSDs) and 10,000 RPM Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) disks for .vhdx files. Each virtual machine runs on its own .vhdx file.
You plan to add new virtual machines each month. SALES1 and SALES2 must run at the highest possible performance at all times.
You need to configure the virtual machines.
What should you do?

You are the virtualization administrator for an organization that manages private and public cloud-based resources. The organization uses Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 Hyper-V. All
Hyper-V host servers are configured as nodes in a four-node cluster. The organization also uses System Center 2012 R2.
Operating system updates to each host server require a system reboot.
You need to ensure that the virtual machines remain online during any reboots required by the updates.
What should you do?

CAU is an automated feature that enables you to update clustered servers with little or no loss of availability during the update process. During an Updating Run, CAU transparently performs the following tasks:
Puts each node of the cluster into node maintenance mode
Moves the clustered roles off the node
Installs the updates and any dependent updates
Performs a restart if necessary
Brings the node out of maintenance mode
Restores the clustered roles on the node
Moves to update the next node
For many clustered roles (formerly called clustered applications and services) in the cluster, the automatic update process triggers a planned failover, and it can cause a transient service interruption for connected clients. However, in the case of continuously available workloads such as Hyper-V with live migration or file server with SMB
Transparent Failover, CAU can coordinate cluster updates with no impact to the service availability.
Note -
The CAU feature is only compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server
2012 failover clusters and the clustered roles that are supported on those versions.
