Question
You have two servers that have the Hyper-V server role installed. The servers are joined to a failover cluster both servers can connect to the same disk on an iSCSi storage device. You plan to use the iSCSI storage to store highly available Hyper-V virtual machines that will support live migration functionality. You need to configure a storage resource in the failover cluster to store the virtual machines. What should you configure?
Options
- Aa storage pool
- Battributed File System (DFS) Replication
- Ca mirrored volume
- DCluster Shared volumes (CSV)

Why each option
To store highly available Hyper-V virtual machines on shared iSCSI storage within a failover cluster to support live migration, you should configure Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV).
A storage pool is a virtualization technology that groups physical disks into a single logical pool, but it doesn't directly enable shared access across multiple cluster nodes for live migration of VMs in the same way CSV does.
Distributed File System (DFS) Replication is used for replicating files between servers, not for providing highly available shared block storage access required for Hyper-V VMs in a failover cluster with live migration.
A mirrored volume provides data redundancy for a single server or within a storage solution but doesn't inherently offer the shared, concurrent access by multiple cluster nodes necessary for Hyper-V live migration functionality.
Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV) allow multiple nodes in a failover cluster to simultaneously access the same shared storage, which is essential for Hyper-V virtual machines requiring live migration. CSVs simplify the management of shared storage and enable seamless VM mobility between cluster nodes.
