Question

A company has a server that runs Windows Server 2012 R2. The Hyper-V role is installed on the server. The server has virtual machines (VMs) that run Windows Server 2012 R2. You create two VMs. You also create four virtual hard disks. Two of the virtual hard disks use the VHD file format and two use the VHDX file format. You plan to create a failover cluster by using the two VMs on the Hyper-V host server. You need to prepare the storage for the VMs. What should you do?

Options

  • AEnable virtual hard disk sharing for one of the VHDX-based hard disks.
  • BRun the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Optimize-VHD against the VHD-based hard disks.
  • CEnable virtual hard disk sharing for one of the VHD-based hard disks.
  • DRun the Windows PowerShell cmdlet Optimize-VHD against the VHDX-based hard disks.

Explanation

Note: Disk sharing can only be set on VHDX disks. Shared virtual hard disk functionality in guest failover clusters exclusively uses the .vhdx file Although the shared virtual hard disk must use the .vhdx file format for the data drive, the operating system disk for a virtual machine can use either the .vhd or the .vhdx file format.
