Question

You have three on-premises servers named SVR1, SVR2, and SVR3 that run Windows Server. SRV1 has a direct-attached storage (DAS) array. You plan to deploy a failover cluster named Cluster1 by using SVR2 and SVR3. You need to ensure that the DAS array on SRV1 can be used as shared storage for Cluster1. The solution must ensure that Cluster1 has block-level access to the storage. What should you do first on SRV1?

Options

  • ARun the start-service -name msiscsi cmdlet.
  • BInstall the iSCSI Target Server role service.
  • CInstall the File Server role service.
  • DRun the Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet.

Explanation

To utilize a DAS array as shared storage for a Windows failover cluster with block-level access, you can leverage Storage Spaces Direct (S2D) or configure the DAS as a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV). S2D creates a software-defined storage pool from the DAS drives, enabling highly available virtual disks. Alternatively, you can add the DAS as a CSV, making it accessible by all https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-server/storage/storage-spaces/deploy-storage-spaces-
