Configure and Manage System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM)

Question

You administer an environment that contains a Windows Server 2012 R2 server that has the Hyper-V role installed and a server that has System Center 2012 R2 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM). You plan to deploy two virtual machines (VMs). You have the following requirements: - You must minimize the likelihood that the VMs will be offline at the same time. - You must minimize the likelihood that the VMs will res de on the same Hyper-V host server in the Hyper-V cluster. You need to configure the two VMs. What should you do?

Options

  • AConfigure the two VMs to include a value for the preferred owners setting.
  • BConfigure only one VM as highly available.
  • CConfigure the VMs to reside on different storage area networks (SANs).
  • DConfigure the VMs to use a custom property that contains the same value.

Explanation

Configure only one VM as highly available. That will not minimize the change of both VM's are on the same host. It only ensures that the VM is on a host cluster. Answer D is the correct one. With System Center 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) or System Center 2012 R2, if you deploy virtual machines on a host cluster, you can use Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) to configure availability sets for the virtual machines. When you place virtual machines in an availability set, VMM will attempt to keep those virtual machines on separate hosts and avoid placing them together on the same host whenever possible. This helps to improve continuity of service.
