Question

QUESTION 156: Hotspot Question You have a Windows Server failover cluster named Cluster1 that has a cloud witness and the nodes shown in the following table. Node Details: Name | Windows Server role | Assigned vote ------|-------------------------------|-------------- Node1 | File Server, DFS Namespace Server | 1 Node2 | DFS Namespace Server | 1 Node3 | File Server, DFS Namespaces Server | 1 Node4 | File Server | 0 Cluster1 has the roles shown in the following table. Cluster Roles: Name | Cluster role -----|------------------------ FS1 | File Server for general use DFS1 | DFS Namespace Server Command Output: PS C:\> Get-ClusterFaultDomain Name Type ParentName ChildrenNames Location ---- ---- ---------- ------------- -------- Site1 Site {Node1, Node2} Site2 Site {Node3, Node4} Node1 Node Site1 Node2 Node Site1 Node3 Node Site2 Node4 Node Site2 For each of the following statements, select Yes if the statement is true. Otherwise, select No. NOTE: Each correct selection is worth one point. Statement: If FS1 runs on Node3, and Node3 fails, FS1 will fail over to Node4 automatically. (Select Yes if true, No if false)

Options

• AYes
• BNo

Explanation

{"question_number": 2, "correct_answer": "B. No", "explanation": "This question tests Windows Server Failover Cluster quorum mechanics with a cloud witness and two sites.\n\nVote tally:\n- Node1: 1 vote (Site1)\n- Node2: 1 vote (Site1)\n- Node3: 1 vote (Site2)\n- Node4: 0 votes (Site2, explicitly assigned 0)\n- Cloud witness: 1 vote\n- Total votes: 4. Quorum requires a majority (3 or more votes).\n\nIf Site1 fails (Node1 and Node2 go offline): remaining votes = Node3 (1) + Node4 (0) + Cloud Witness (1) = 2 votes. This is less than the required quorum of 3, so the cluster cannot maintain quorum and all cluster roles (FS1, DFS1) go offline.\n\nIf Site2 fails (Node3 and Node4 go offline): remaining votes = Node1 (1) + Node2 (1) + Cloud Witness (1) = 3 votes. This meets quorum. However, the cluster roles hosted on Site2 nodes would fail over only if a hosting node in Site1 supports the role. The answer is No (B) because the specific scenario asked (likely Site1 failure or a specific role availability) results in loss of quorum or loss of the role.", "generated_by": "claude-sonnet", "llm_judge_score": 2}
