You have an Azure virtual machine named VM1 that contains the drives shown in the following table. On VM1, you plan to install an app named App1. The data for App1 must be stored on a persistent data disk assigned to drive D. You need assign the data disk to drive D. What should you do on VM1 first?

Options

• AChange the drive letter of the Temporary Storage drive to F.
• BMove pagefile.sys to the Operating System drive.
• CStop (deallocate) VM1.
• DExpand the Temporary Storage drive.

Explanation

{"question_number": 6, "correct_answer": "B", "explanation": "In Azure VMs, the D: drive is the temporary (ephemeral) storage drive, and Windows places pagefile.sys on it by default. To reassign D: to a persistent data disk, the temporary storage drive must first be moved to a different drive letter (e.g., F:). However, you cannot change the drive letter of the temporary storage drive while pagefile.sys resides on it - the file is locked in use. Therefore, the first step is to move pagefile.sys to the C: (OS) drive, which releases D: so its letter can be changed. Only after pagefile.sys is moved can the temp drive letter be changed and D: be assigned to the new data disk.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 4}
