Which of the following tools can you use to migrate an existing physical server running Windows Server 2003 R2 x86 so that it is hosted under Hyper-V? (Choose all that apply.)

1. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 <Correct>

2. Windows Deployment Services

3. Windows Automated Installation Kit

4. Virtual Server Migration Toolkit <Correct>

5. Hyper-V Import / Export

Explanation:You can perform P2V conversions using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 or by using the older Virtual Server Migration Toolkit.

Although the VSMT is designed for migrating computers to Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1, these virtual machines can be run under Hyper-V. The Virtual Server Migration Toolkit supports the migration of computers running Windows Server 2003 R2 x86.

Although you can use Windows Deployment Services (WDS) to deploy an operating system to Hyper-V, you cannot use WDS to perform a P2V conversion.

Hyper-V Import / Export only works with Hyper-V virtual machines.

The Windows Automated Installation Kit (WAIK) allows you to prepare operating system deployment images, but cannot be used to perform P2V conversions.

Objective:Deploying Virtual Machines

Sub Objective(s):Migrate a computer to Hyper-V.

Two virtual machines are configured to use the same internal virtual network to communicate with one another, but are unable to do so.

Which of the following changes can you make to resolve this problem?

1. Configure the internal virtual network to use VLAN ID 2.

2. Configure each virtual machine to use the same VLAN ID. <Correct>

3. Configure each virtual machine to use a different external virtual network.

4. Configure each virtual machine to use a different private virtual network.

Explanation:You should ensure that each virtual machine uses the same VLAN ID. This will ensure that virtual hosts can communicate with each other. Configuring the virtual network to use a VLAN ID configures the VLAN ID that the host computer uses to communicate with the virtual machine.

Configuring each virtual machine to use a different external or private network will not ensure that these virtual machines can communicate with each other.

Objective:Configuring and Optimizing Hyper-V

Sub Objective(s):Configure virtual networking.

What is the maximum amount of memory that can be allocated to a virtual machine hosted on a computer running Windows Server 2008 Standard edition, assuming that the maximum possible amount of RAM is installed on the host computer?

1. 15 GB

2. 63 GB

3. 16 GB

4. 31 GB <Correct>

5. 64 GB

6. 32 GB

Explanation:The x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Standard edition supports a maximum of 32 GB of RAM. When the Hyper-V role is installed, you can allocate a maximum of 31 GB of memory to a single virtual machine hosted on this server.

Objective:Installing Hyper-V

Which of the following disks can you configure a Hyper-V virtual machine to boot from? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Pass-through directly attached IDE disk <Correct>

2. Pass-through directly attached SCSI disk <Correct>

3. Virtual SCSI disk

4. Virtual IDE disk <Correct>

5. Pass-through iSCSI LUN

Explanation:You can connect a virtual IDE disk and a pass-through directly attached IDE disk to a virtual IDE controller.

You can attach a pass-through directly attached SCSI disk to the virtual IDE controller because the virtual IDE controller communicates with the directly attached hardware through the parent partition.

You cannot connect a virtual SCSI disk to a virtual IDE controller.

You cannot use an iSCSI LUN as a boot disk with Hyper-V. Although third-party utilities do allow this, only "out-of-the-box" Hyper-V is tested on the exam.


Sub Objective(s):Create a virtual disk.

You have recently changed the IP address configuration of a virtual machine from dynamic to static. Since doing this, hosts on your external network are unable to communicate with the virtual machine.

Which of the following settings should you check?

1. Verify that the virtual machine uses an external virtual network. <Correct>

2. Verify that the virtual machine uses an internal virtual network.

3. Change the VLAN ID assigned to the external virtual network.

4. Change the VLAN ID assigned to the internal virtual network.

Explanation:You need to verify that the virtual machine is configured to use an external virtual network. If a virtual machine is not configured to use an external virtual network, external hosts will not be able to communicate with that virtual machine.

Changing the VLAN ID on the virtual network only changes how the virtual machine interacts with the host operating system parent partition. It will not modify communication with external networks.

Which edition of Windows Server 2008 should you choose to deploy to host a single Hyper-V server if you want to minimize licensing costs and you expect to deploy between 30 and 50 virtual machines, each requiring between 2 and 8 GB of RAM?

1. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition <Correct>

2. Windows Web Server 2008

3. Windows Server 2008 Standard edition

4. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition

Explanation:Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition provides Windows guest licenses for an unlimited number of virtual machines. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition also supports enough RAM should the maximum number of projected virtual machines require the maximum projected amount of memory. Windows Web Server 2008 does not support the Hyper-V role. The Standard edition of Windows Server 2008 does not support the amount of RAM required by the projected virtual machine deployment. The Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2008 includes Windows guest licenses for four virtual machine instances. The cost of purchasing licenses for an additional 26 to 46 virtual machine instances is vastly higher than the license cost difference between the Enterprise and Datacenter editions of Windows Server 2008.


Sub Objective(s):Configure Windows Server 2008 for Hyper-V.

You want to perform a physical-to-virtual conversion of several computers in your environment using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008.

Which of the following hardware requirements exist for the computer that will be the target of the physical to virtual conversion? (Choose all that apply.)

1. 512 MB RAM <Correct>

2. Network Interface Card <Correct>

3. CD-ROM drive

4. Only one physical disk drive

5. Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) BIOS <Correct>

Explanation:To perform a physical to virtual conversion using SCVMM 2008, a computer must have at least 512 MB of RAM, a network card, and an ACPI-compatible BIOS. To perform a physical to virtual conversion a computer can have more than one physical disk drive and does not need a CD-ROM drive.

On which of the following storage devices can you place a virtual machine if you want to support Hyper-V Quick Migration? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Local IDE Hard Disk Drive

2. Fibre Channel LUN <Correct>

3. Shared Folder

4. Local SCSI Hard Disk Drive

5. iSCSI LUN <Correct>

Explanation:Quick Migration uses the same hardware as a failover cluster. The device hosting the virtual machine data needs to be accessible and controllable by the active node in the cluster. This means that you can use a SAN device such as an iSCSI or Fibre Channel LUN, but not a shared folder as shared folders are not exclusive to one node in a cluster. You cannot use local hard disk drives for the same reason.

Objective:Managing and Monitoring Virtual Machines

Sub Objective(s):Configure a virtual machine for high availability.

All of the Hyper-V servers in your organization are managed through System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008.

Which of the following SCVMM 2008 based roles would you delegate to members of your organization's Research department so that they could start and stop Research department virtual machines, but would be unable to create virtual machines, manage other department's virtual machines, or have more privileges than are necessary?

1. Power User

2. Delegated Administrator

3. Self-Service User <Correct>

4. Administrator

Explanation:You would create a self-service user and limit the scope of the delegation to only include the Research department's virtual machines.

SCVMM 2008 administrators have full rights to the VMM infrastructure and can perform any action using the CMM console.

Delegated administrators can perform administrator actions that have been delegated to them. This allows them to create new delegated administrator users. Delegated administrators have more privileges than are necessary.

The Power Users group is built in to Windows Server 2008 and has no virtual machine management rights.


Sub Objective(s):Manage and optimize the Hyper-V server.

You are currently logged on directly to a computer running Hyper-V. The Hyper-V guest that you are currently connected to is running a non-Microsoft operating system. When you move your mouse to the edge of the Virtual Machine Connection window, you are unable to get the pointer to move back to the host operating system.

Which of the following key combinations can you use to release the mouse and keyboard back from the Virtual Machine Connection window so that you can control the Hyper-V server?

1. Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow <Correct>

2. Alt + Home

3. Ctrl + Alt + End

4. Alt + Page Up

Explanation:The Ctrl + Alt + Left Arrow key combination releases the keyboard and mouse from the Virtual Machine Connection window. It is only necessary to do this on virtual machines that do not have Integration Services installed, such as virtual machines running some non-Microsoft operating systems.

The Ctrl + Alt + End combination functions the way Ctrl + Alt + Delete functions on the virtual machine operating system.

Alt + Home functions like Ctrl + Esc and launches the Start menu on Windows-based virtual operating systems.

Alt + Page Up functions like Alt + Tab on the virtual machine operating system.

The Processor\% Processor Time counter on one of the virtual machines hosted on a Hyper-V server that you manage averages a reading of between 80 and 90 percent.

Which of the following changes could you make to the virtual machine's settings to improve virtual machine performance?

1. Assign an additional logical processor. <Correct>

2. Decrease the virtual machine reserve (percentage).

3. Remove an assigned logical processor.

4. Decrease the virtual machine limit (percentage).

Explanation:Assigning an additional logical processor will reduce the resource pressure placed on the virtual machine.

Removing an assigned logical processor will place more strain on the virtual machine's processing resources.

Decreasing the virtual machine limit (percentage) figure will place more resource pressure on a processor that is already under strain.

Decreasing the virtual machine reserve will reduce the amount of processor resources directly allocated to the virtual machine, meaning that the resources that it is guaranteed will be lower, likely leading to greater strain on the processor.


Sub Objective(s):Monitor and optimize virtual machines.

You use a Windows PowerShell script to take a virtual machine snapshot every day at 1:00 A.M. One morning you arrive at work to discover that the virtual machine has frozen with a stop error. You are unable to rectify the situation and apply the snapshot taken the morning of the day before. When the snapshot is applied, the virtual machine is in a shutdown state.

In what state was the virtual machine when the snapshot was taken?

1. Saved

2. Turned on

3. Stop error

4. Shutdown <Correct>

Explanation:The only time that a virtual machine will be in a turned off state after applying a snapshot is if it was in a turned off state when the snapshot was taken. If the virtual machine was experiencing a stop error, the machine would have been restored to a saved state because it was still online. If the virtual machine was turned on or in a saved state, it would have been returned to a saved state when the snapshot was applied.


Sub Objective(s):Manage snapshots and backups.

You want to be able to quickly determine the processor, hard disk, and memory usage of five Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V servers that you are responsible for managing.

Which of the following strategies could you pursue to achieve this goal? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Create a custom MMC that has five instances of the Task Scheduler snap-in added.

2. Create a custom MMC that has five instances of the Reliability And Performance snap-in added. <Correct>

3. Set the focus of each snap-in to the local computer.

4. Create a custom MMC that has five instances of the Reliability Monitor snap-in added.

5. Set the focus of each snap-in to a different one of the five servers that you wish to monitor. <Correct>

Explanation:Custom Microsoft Management Consoles allow you to quickly create consoles to manage an aspect of multiple Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V servers in your organization. In this case, you can set up five instances of the Reliability And Performance snap-in, which includes the Resource Overview that displays current CPU, Disk, Network, and Memory activity in the same console. Set the focus of each snap-in to a different computer that you want to monitor.

You should not set the focus of the snap-in to the local computer because you are interested in monitoring five remote computers.

The Reliability monitor does not provide information about current memory, processor, and hard disk usage. It provides data on system reliability and configuration changes.

The Task Scheduler does not provide information about current memory, processor, and hard disk usage. It provides information about scheduled tasks on the current computer.

1. 4

2. 32

3. 16 <Correct>

4. 8

Explanation:When hyper-threading is enabled, a computer with 4 dual-core processors has 16 logical processors available. If hyper-threading is not enabled, the same computer would have only eight logical processors available.

Which of the following conditions will block you from updating the hardware configuration of a virtual machine stored within a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library? (Choose all that apply.)

1. The virtual machine is configured with the Windows Server 2008 operating system.

2. The virtual machine is configured with the Windows Server 2003 operating system.

3. The virtual machine is turned off.

4. The virtual machine has checkpoints. <Correct>

5. The virtual machine is in a saved state. <Correct>

Explanation:You cannot modify the hardware configuration of a virtual machine stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library if it is in a saved state or has checkpoints.

You can modify the hardware configuration of a virtual machine stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library if it is turned off or uses the Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003 operating systems.


Sub Objective(s):Manage templates, profiles, and the image library by using SCVMM vNext.

You have just run the Validate A Configuration Wizard from the Failover Cluster Management console of a computer that you are configuring as the primary node in a Hyper-V failover cluster. You have received a warning that the networking tests did not meet redundancy requirements. The node has two network adapters and no Host Bus adapters. iSCSI will be used to host the cluster witness disk and the highly available virtual machine data. The storage test reports no errors.

Which of the following can you do to ensure that no warnings are generated when you run the Validate A Configuration Wizard from the Failover Cluster Management console again?

1. Configure the iSCSI Initiator.

2. Replace the first network adapter.

3. Replace the second network adapter.

4. Replace both network adapters.

5. Add another network adapter. Connect it to a separate network. <Correct>

Explanation:When you use iSCSI with network adapters rather than Host Bus Adapters, that network adapter is dedicated to cluster storage. A warning will be generated during the network portion of the Validate A Configuration Wizard test if your cluster connects to a single network. You can use a cluster in this configuration, but must use redundant networks, which requires an extra network adapter, to pass this test without a warning being generated.

Replacing network adapters is not necessary because the problem is a lack of existing network adapters, not that the current ones are faulty.

The iSCSI initiator does not need configuring. If it did, you would have received a warning about storage.


Sub Objective(s):Configure Hyper-V to be highly available.

Which of the following must you do prior to granting a Self-service User role the ability to create virtual machines using an existing System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Self-Service Portal?

1. Create an Authorization Manager role.

2. Create an Authorization Manager operation.

3. Create a virtual machine template. <Correct>

4. Create an Authorization Manager task.

Explanation:When creating a Self-service User role, you need to specify the existing host group or groups on which the users assigned the role can deploy virtual machines, and the existing template with which users will create their virtual machines.

You do not need to use Authorization Manager for the creation of a Self-service User role or the delegation of privileges.

Authorization Manager does not need to be used with SCVMM 2008.


Sub Objective(s):Create or clone a virtual machine.

Which of the following commands can you use to configure a computer with the Server Core installation option of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition and the Hyper-V role installed to support failover clustering?

1. Ocsetup NetworkLoadBalancingHeadlessServer

2. Ocsetup Microsoft-Hyper-V

3. Ocsetup FRS-Infrastructure

4. Ocsetup FailoverCluster-Core <Correct>

Explanation:To configure a Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition Server Core system to support failover clustering, install the failover cluster feature using the ocsetup FailoverCluster-Core command.

The FRS-Infrastructure component supports file replication.

Hyper-V is already installed and Network Load Balancing does not support Failover Clusters.

Which of the following files can be stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library? (Choose all that apply.)

1. ISO images <Correct>

2. Virtual Floppy Disks <Correct>

3. Windows PowerShell scripts <Correct>

4. Virtual Hard Disks <Correct>

5. Answer files <Correct>

6. Authorization Manager roles

Explanation:System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 libraries store virtual hard disks, virtual floppy disks, ISO images, answer files, and Windows PowerShell scripts.

Libraries also store virtual machines themselves.

Authorization Manager is not used with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, so data about Authorization Manager roles will not be stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library.

Which of the following data collector sets would you create to generate an alert if the amount of free memory on a virtual machine was less than a specific threshold value?

1. Performance Counter data collector

2. Configuration data collector

3. Performance Counter Alert <Correct>

4. Event Trace data collector

Explanation:Configure the Performance Counter Alert data collector set type if you want an alert generated when a particular performance counter, such as one that measured amount of free memory, was less than a specific threshold value.

Event Trace data collectors record system event information.

Configuration data collectors record changes to system configuration such as registry modifications.

Performance Counter data collectors record performance counter data over a period of time but do not generate alerts when a particular performance counter threshold value is met.

You are going to store the virtual hard disk (VHD) files on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V host that you manage on a storage area network.

Which of the following LUN types offers the best mix of performance and redundancy?

1. Simple

2. Mirrored

3. Striped

4. Spanned

5. Striped with parity <Correct>

Explanation:Striped with parity LUNs offer the best mix of performance (through the use of disk striping) and redundancy (through the use of parity data).

Simple and spanned LUNs offer no performance benefit and no redundancy.

Mirrored LUNs offer redundancy, but no performance benefit.

Striped LUNs offer a performance benefit, but are not redundant.

Which of the following editions of Windows Server 2008 support the hardware necessary to host 200 Windows 2000 server virtual machines, each allocated 512 MB of memory, as guests under Hyper-V? (Choose all that apply.)

1. x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Standard edition

2. x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition <Correct>

3. x86 version of Windows Server 2008 Standard edition

4. x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition <Correct>

5. x86 version of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition

6. x86 version of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition

Explanation:Hyper-V can only be deployed on computers running an x64 version of Windows Server 2008. Hosting 200 Windows 2000 Server computers with 512 MB memory allocated each requires approximately 1 terabyte of RAM. The x64 editions of Windows Server 2008 Datacenter and Enterprise editions support up to 2 terabytes of RAM.

Which of the following virtual hard disk types minimize the impact of disk fragmentation when stored under Hyper-V?

1. Undo

2. Fixed <Correct>

3. Dynamically Expanding

4. Differencing

Explanation:Fixed disks minimize the possibility of fragmentation because all disk space is assigned during the creation of the virtual disk.

Dynamic disks are prone to fragmentation because they allocate disk space as needed, rather than in one contiguous operation as is the case with fixed disks.

Differencing disks are similarly likely to fragment because space is allocated as it is needed, rather than at disk creation.

Undo disks are used with Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 and not with Hyper-V.

Which of the following methods or tools can you use to migrate a computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 with an important line-of-business application that is not Volume Shadow Copy-aware from a physical-to-virtual deployment? (Choose all that apply.)

1. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 offline P2V migration <Correct>

2. Virtual Server Migration Toolkit <Correct>

3. Windows Deployment Services

4. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 online P2V migration

5. Windows Automated Installation Kit

Explanation:You can only perform an online P2V migration when the operating system supports Volume Shadow Copy Services (VSS) and applications are VSS-aware. If applications are not VSS-aware, you should perform an offline P2V migration using SCVMM 2008.

You can perform an offline migration using the Virtual Server Migration Toolkit.

You cannot perform a physical-to-virtual migration using Windows Deployment Services or the Windows Automated Installation Kit.

If Authorization Manager is not in use, which of the following groups has the minimum level of necessary permission to allow a user to create new virtual machines on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server that is a member of an Active Directory domain?

1. Backup Operators

2. Enterprise Admins

3. Domain Admins

4. Administrators <Correct>

5. Power Users

Explanation:If Authorization Manager is not in use, a user's account must be a member of the local Administrators group to allow the user to create new Hyper-V virtual machines.

Members of the Domain Admins and Enterprise Admins groups can also create Hyper-V virtual machines, but members of these groups have far more privileges than the minimum amount required.

Members of the Power Users and Backup Operators groups cannot create Hyper-V virtual machines.

You have created two clones of an existing virtual machine on a Hyper-V server by using Hyper-V's export and import functionality. When you turn on the cloned virtual machines you notice that they have the same SIDs as the original virtual machine.

Which of the following techniques can you use to resolve this issue?

1. Re-import the cloned virtual machines. Select the Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option.

2. Run Sysprep on the Hyper-V server.

3. Run Sysprep on each cloned virtual machine. <Correct>

4. Re-import the cloned virtual machines. Do not select the Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option.

Explanation:You can use Sysprep to reconfigure the SIDs of cloned virtual machines.

You should not run Sysprep on the Hyper-V server because it is not necessary to reset the SID of the Hyper-V server.

The Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option relates to virtual machine IDs rather than SIDs.

A Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server that you manage hosts 10 virtual machines. All virtual machine data is stored on volume D, which is protected by RAID-5. You take daily backups of the virtual machines using Windows Server Backup. One of the virtual machines has become corrupted and needs to be restored from backup. You do not want to interfere with any other virtual machines hosted on the server.

Which of the following should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Use Windows Server Backup to restore all virtual machines to a Hyper-V recovery server. Export the virtual machine.<Correct>

2. Use Windows Server Backup to restore the problematic virtual machine to the same location.

3. Use Windows Server Backup to restore all virtual machines to a different location. Export the virtual machines.

4. Import the recovered virtual machine. <Correct>

5. Use Windows Server Backup to restore the problematic virtual machine to a different location.

Explanation:Individual virtual machines cannot be restored by using Windows Server Backup. All virtual machines are restored at the same time. If you choose to restore to the original location, that will overwrite current virtual machines.

You cannot import a virtual machine that was not exported though, you can attach its virtual hard disk to a new virtual machine; however, that option was not available.

You can use a Hyper-V recovery server to recover all virtual machines export the one that you want to recover, and then import that virtual machine on the original server.

Recently, several Windows Server 2008 virtual machines hosted on one of your organization's Hyper-V servers began experiencing STOP errors. You want to determine what changes to each virtual machine's configuration precipitated these problems.

Which of the following tools would you find useful in pursuing this investigation?

1. Authorization Manager

2. Performance Monitor

3. Task Manager

4. Reliability Monitor <Correct>

Explanation:Reliability Monitor provides a graphic readout detailing system configuration events and system failures. This enables you to ascertain whether a specific configuration change is related to an increase in the number of STOP errors.

You cannot use Task Manager, Performance Monitor, or Authorization manager to view a list of configuration changes mapped against errors or failures.

One of the virtual machines on a Hyper-V server that you manage is experiencing heavy network load. This heavy network load is causing problems for other virtual machines hosted on the same server.

How can you reduce the impact that this virtual machine has on other virtual machines while still allowing external hosts to interact with it? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose four.)

1. Add a new virtual network adapter to the virtual machine.

2. Attach the existing virtual network adapter to the new external virtual network. <Correct>

3. Install a new network adapter on the Hyper-V host. <Correct>

4. Attach the new external virtual network to the existing Hyper-V host network adapter.

5. Create a new internal virtual network.

6. Attach the new virtual network adapter to the new external virtual network.

7. Attach the new internal virtual network to this new adapter.

8. Create a new external virtual network. <Correct>

9. Attach the new external virtual network to this new adapter. <Correct>

Explanation:If one virtual machine on a Hyper-V host is consuming a disproportionate amount of available network resources, you need to add a new network adapter to the host, create a new virtual network, and attach that virtual machine to the new virtual network through its existing adapter.

If you simply add a new virtual adapter, new virtual network, and new physical adapter, traffic will still go through the old network to the troublesome virtual machine.

Switching the existing network adapter to a new virtual network will remove that virtual machine's traffic from the existing network adapter.

You should not create an internal virtual network because this cannot communicate with external hosts.

Which of the following commands should you issue on a stand-alone Server Core computer running Windows Server 2008 to configure the firewall so that a user on another computer can remotely manage Hyper-V using the RSAT tools?

1. Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Remote Service Management" new enable=yes

2. Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Network Discovery" new enable=yes

3. Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="File and Printer Sharing" new enable=yes

4. Netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)" new enable=yes<Correct>

Explanation:To allow a user on another computer that is not a member of the same domain to remotely manage Hyper-V using the RSAT tools, you need to enable firewall rules in the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) group. This can be done using the netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI)" new enable command from an elevated command prompt.

Rules in the Network Discovery, Remote Service Management and File and Printer Sharing groups do not need to be enabled to allow a user on another computer that is not a member of the same domain to remotely manage Hyper-V using the RSAT tools.

One of the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V servers that you are responsible for managing suffered a complete hard disk failure and needed to be restored from a full server backup.

Which of the following tasks must you complete after the restoration to return virtual machines hosted on the server to full operational status?

1. Reattach virtual hard disks to virtual machines.

2. Re-create virtual hard disks and attach them to virtual machines.

3. Re-create virtual machines and attach them to virtual hard disks.

4. Re-create virtual networks and reattach virtual adapters to those networks. <Correct>

Explanation:A full server backup does not store information about virtual networks. Therefore, it will be necessary to re-create the virtual networks that existed before the server failed and reattach them to each virtual machine's virtual network adapters. Virtual machines will be restored in a full server backup and will be properly attached to their existing virtual hard disks.

Which of the following tools can you use in your environment to generate a report of computers that would make good candidates for virtualization under Hyper-V?

1. Microsoft Security Tool Kit

2. Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer

3. Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit <Correct>

4. Virtual Server Migration Toolkit

Explanation:The Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit can be used to generate recommendations for server consolidation and virtual machine placement, either for Hyper-V or Virtual Server 2005 R2 hosts.

The Microsoft Baseline Security Analyzer checks computers to see whether they have the latest updates installed and whether their security settings are correctly configured.

The Virtual Server Migration Toolkit allows you to perform offline physical-to-virtual migrations to Virtual Server 2005 R2, but does not provide recommendations on which computers in your environment should be virtualized.

The Microsoft Security Tool Kit includes tools that help you configure a baseline level of security for servers connected to the Internet but it cannot be used to generate recommendations for server consolidation or virtual machine placement.

Which of the following settings should you configure for the virtual machine's hardware profile?

1. Limit CPU Functionality <Correct>

2. BIOS Num Lock

3. Number of logical processors: 1

4. Startup Order: Floppy

Explanation:You should enable the Limit Processor Functionality option if you are hosting a virtual machine that uses an older operating system such as Windows NT 4.0.

The standard edition of Windows NT 4 would support four processors, so it is not necessary to limit the number of logical processors to one.

Windows NT 4 had no problem with the num lock being enabled at boot. Windows NT 4 could boot from an IDE, CD, or floppy drive.

1. No virtual network

2. Internal virtual network

3. External virtual network <Correct>

4. Private virtual network

Explanation:External virtual networks allow communication between hosts on networks external to the Hyper-V server and virtual machines hosted on the Hyper-V server.

Internal virtual networks and private virtual networks do not allow hosts that are external to the Hyper-V server to communicate with hosts located on the Hyper-V server.

No virtual network allows no network communication.

You want to ensure that your virtual machine never uses more than 50 percent of available system resources.

Which of the following processor-related Hyper-V virtual machine settings should you configure?

1. Relative Weight

2. Virtual Machine Reserve

3. Virtual Machine Limit <Correct>

4. Limit Processor Functionality

Explanation:The Virtual Machine Limit setting, found in the processor section of virtual machine settings under Hyper-V, allows you to configure limitations on the amount of processor resources that a particular virtual machine can access.

The Virtual Machine Reserve setting puts a minimum limit on the amount of resources allocated to the virtual machine.

The Relative Weight setting sets how the virtual machine is allocated resources when multiple virtual machines are active.

Limit Processor functionality is used to support virtual machines running older operating systems such as Windows NT 4.0.

A Windows Server 2008 virtual machine hosted on a Hyper-V server is performing poorly and has the following average performance counter statistics:

* Processor \ % Processor time = 50%* Memory \ % Available Mbytes = 500* Logical Disk \ Average Disk Queue Length = 5* Network Interface \ Output Queue Length = 1

Which virtual machine component should you modify to most effectively improve performance?

1. Virtual hard disk <Correct>

2. Virtual processor

3. Virtual network interface

4. Memory

Explanation:The logical disk queue length should only exceed values of 4 on very rare occasions. A value of 5 indicates that the virtual machine's disk drive is likely to be a bottleneck in the virtual machine's operation. Sustained processor utilization above 80% should be a cause for concern, a reading of 50% indicates that the processor is not the bottleneck. 500 Mbytes of available memory indicates that the virtual machine has adequate RAM. A network output queue length above 2 should be a cause for concern.

You have added several Windows PowerShell scripts to your System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library, but some of these scripts will not run. Other Windows PowerShell scripts work without problems.

Which of the following should you do to resolve this problem? (Each correct answer presents a complete solution. Choose two.)

1. Configure a new Guest OS profile.

2. Use the Set-ExecutionPolicy Windows PowerShell cmdlet. <Correct>

3. Install the Microsoft .NET Framework version 3 or later on the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 server.

4. Digitally sign the scripts. <Correct>

5. Configure a new hardware profile.

Explanation:Windows PowerShell scripts that are not signed will not run if the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 server has a policy in place only to run signed scripts. You can resolve this problem either by digitally signing the script or changing the policy using the Set-ExecutionPolicy cmdlet in Windows PowerShell scripts will run if the .NET Framework version 3 or later is not present on the SCVMM server. Windows PowerShell only requires version 2 and the question indicates that it is already installed because some scripts do run.

You do not need to configure a new hardware or Guest OS profile to get Windows PowerShell scripts to run.

You have two virtual machines that you want to be able to have communicate with hosts on external networks, but wish to isolate from directly communicating with one another through the virtual host. These two virtual machines use the same external virtual network. Hosts on external networks need to be able to communicate with these virtual machines.

Which of the following configuration changes should you make?

1. Configure the first virtual machine so that it uses a private virtual network.

2. Enable VLAN identification by editing the external virtual network's properties.

3. Configure the first virtual machine so it uses a internal virtual network.

4. Enable VLAN identification by editing the first virtual machine's properties. <Correct>

Explanation:You can configure VLAN identification at the virtual network level, or at the virtual machine level. If you configure it at the virtual network level, all virtual machines that use that virtual network will use the same VLAN ID. If you configure VLAN identification at the virtual machine level, you can assign different VLAN IDs to virtual machines assigned to the same virtual network. This allows you to isolate virtual machines from each other by assigning them to different VLANs. Although changing the network type would isolate the virtual machines from each other, it would not allow external hosts to communicate with the virtual machine.

You want to allow users of the System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 self-service portal to be able to create snapshots of virtual machines that they have created and revert back to those snapshots if they so desire.

Which of the following virtual machine permissions should you assign?

1. Pause and Resume

2. Remote Connection

3. Local Administrator

4. Checkpoint <Correct>

Explanation:The Checkpoint permission allows users to create snapshots of SCVMM virtual machines as well as revert back to those snapshots as necessary.

The Local Administrator permission allows users to configure the local administrator password on a virtual machine.

The Remote Control permission allows a user to connect from the self-service portal to the virtual machine using virtual machine remote control.

The Pause and Resume permission allows users to put a virtual machine into and out of a saved state.

You are configuring a striped with parity LUN that you will use to host highly available virtual machines on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V failover cluster. The LUN will be composed of physical disks that are each 400 GB in size.

What is the minimum number of disks required to create a LUN that can store 2,000 GB of virtual machine data?

1. Five

2. Six <Correct>

3. Seven

4. Eight

5. Four

Explanation:The striped with parity LUN type is the same as a software RAID 5 volume on a Windows Server 2008 computer. You need six 400-GB physical disks to create a LUN capable of storing 2,000 GB of data. The equivalent of one physical disk in a striped with parity LUN will store parity data.

One of the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V servers that you are responsible for managing hosts an important Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database. You want to ensure that this virtualized database server is automatically started when the Hyper-V server is turned on and gracefully shut down when the Hyper-V server is turned off or rebooted.

Which of the following automatic start and stop actions should you configure for this virtual machine through Hyper-V settings? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose all that apply.)

1. Configure the Turn Off The Virtual Machine Automatic Stop Action.

2. Configure the Automatically Start If It Was Running When The Service Stopped Automatic Start Action.

3. Configure the Always Start This Virtual Machine Automatic Start Action. <Correct>

4. Configure the Shut Down The Guest Operating System Automatic Stop Action. <Correct>

5. Configure the Nothing Automatic Start Action.

6. Configure the Save The Virtual Machine State Automatic Stop Action.

Explanation:The key to a graceful virtual machine shutdown is ensuring that the Shut Down The Guest Operating System Automatic Stop Action is configured. This will perform a graceful shutdown, which will not occur if the virtual machine is simply turned off or if the virtual machine state is saved.

You should configure the Always Start This Virtual Machine Automatic Start Action to ensure that the virtual machine is always started.

Selecting the option Start If It Was Running When The Service Stopped will not ensure that the virtual machine is always started when the Hyper-V host starts.

Which of the following should you do to prepare a Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 virtual machine hard disk prior to attaching it to a new Hyper-V virtual machine?

1. Compact the virtual hard disk.

2. Delete snapshots.

3. Export the virtual hard disk.

4. Commit undo disks. <Correct>

Explanation:You should commit undo disks using Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 prior to attempting to attach them to a new Hyper-V virtual machine.

Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 does not use snapshots in the same way that Hyper-V does; it uses undo disks.

You cannot export a virtual machine from Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1.

It is not necessary to compact a virtual hard disk prior to attaching it to a new Hyper-V virtual machine.

What type of virtual hard disk should you create if you want to record changes made to an existing disk, but only commit them after you have tested the impact of those changes on an existing virtual machine?

1. Undo

2. Differencing <Correct>

3. Dynamically expanding

4. Fixed

Explanation:Differencing disks allow you to record changes made to an existing disk and only commit them at a time of your choosing. Although differencing disks do function in a manner similar to Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1's undo disks, you cannot create undo disks in Hyper-V.

The Undo Disk functionality in Virtual Server is replaced by snapshots in Hyper-V.

Dynamically expanding and fixed disks do not allow you to record changes and commit them later.

In which of the following situations must you use Windows Server Backup from within a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine to back up data because you cannot use Windows Server Backup on the parent partition to back up all virtual machine data? (Choose all that apply.)

1. The virtual machine connects directly to an iSCSI LUN. <Correct>

2. The virtual machine hard disks are set to dynamic rather than basic.

3. The virtual machine uses a pass-through disk. <Correct>

4. The virtual machine has more than two snapshots.

5. The virtual machine uses dynamically expanding virtual hard disks.

Explanation:Virtual machine data stored on an iSCSI LUN directly attached to the virtual machine or on a pass-through disk needs to be backed up from within the virtual machine because it is not accessible to Windows Server Backup.

A dynamic virtual disk, rather than a basic disk, will stop the virtual machine from being backed up in an online state, but will not stop an offline backup using Windows Server Backup.

You can back up virtual machines that have more than two snapshots with Windows Server Backup, but the procedure to restore them is more complicated than restoring virtual machines with fewer than two snapshots.

Dynamically expanding virtual hard disks can be backed up with Windows Server Backup.

You want to transfer a virtual machine, including 15 snapshots, currently hosted on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server named Beta so that it will be hosted on a Hyper-V server named Gamma.

Which of the following should you do? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose three.)

1. Copy the virtual machine files from a removable USB HDD on Gamma. <Correct>

2. Export the virtual machine to a removable USB HDD on Beta. <Correct>

3. Export the virtual machine to a removable USB HDD on Gamma.

4. Copy the virtual machine files to a removable USB HDD on Gamma.

5. Import the virtual machine on Gamma. <Correct>

6. Copy the virtual machine files from a removable USB HDD on Beta.

7. Copy the virtual machine files to a removable USB HDD on Beta.

8. Import the virtual machine on Beta.

Explanation:Exporting and importing a virtual machine is the only way to retain data such as virtual machine configuration and snapshots.

If you create a virtual machine from a disk image, you will not get any accompanying snapshots.

When you import a virtual machine, the virtual machine is stored in the directory that you perform the import from. This means that if you import from a removable USB hard disk, the virtual machine will be stored there when imported to the new Hyper-V server.

You should copy the files from the directory you exported them to on the removable hard disk to the location where you want them hosted on the new Hyper-V server.

What is the maximum number of virtual SCSI hard disk drives that can be assigned to a single Hyper-V virtual machine?

1. 4

2. 64

3. 16

4. 256 <Correct>

Explanation:Hyper-V supports a maximum of 4 SCSI controllers being assigned for a single virtual machine. Each virtual SCSI controller supports a maximum of 64 virtual SCSI disks. This means a single virtual machine can host a maximum of 256 virtual SCSI disks.

You do not want to have to manually start a virtual machine that hosts the DNS and DHCP services each time that you reboot the Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server that hosts it.

Which of the following steps can you take to accomplish your goal?

1. Configure the Automatic Stop Action to Turn off the virtual machine.

2. Configure the Automatic Start Action to Automatically start if it was running when the service stopped.

3. Configure the Automatic Start Action to Nothing.

4. Configure the Automatic Stop Action to Shut down the guest operating system.

5. Configure the Automatic Stop Action to Save the virtual machine state.

6. Configure the Automatic Start Action to Automatically start if it was running when the service stopped. <Correct>

Explanation:You should configure the Automatic Start Action to Always start this virtual machine. This ensures that the virtual machine will always be turned on when the Hyper-V host is started.

If you configure the Automatic Start Action to Automatically start if it was running when the service stopped, it is possible that the virtual machine will not automatically start when the Hyper-V host is restarted.

You are preparing a computer that you will configure with Windows Server 2008 running Hyper-V. This computer presently has one physical network adapter and one wireless network adapter. You want to configure Hyper-V with four separate external virtual networks.

How many network adapters must you add to the computer to support this configuration?

1. 1

2. 2

3. 0

4. 4

5. 3 <Correct>

Explanation:Only one external virtual network can be assigned to a single physical network adapter at a time. You cannot assign an external virtual network to a wireless network adapter. You need three additional network adapters, plus the network adapter already present, to support four separate external virtual networks on this Hyper-V server.

You are creating a virtual machine. All of the virtual machines in your environment are managed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008.

How can you ensure that the virtual machine is only deployed to a host that supports high availability?

1. Configure multiple virtual hard disks when running the SCVMM 2008 Virtual Machine Manager console's New Virtual Machine Wizard.

2. Enable the Make this VM Highly Available option in the SCVMM 2008 Virtual Machine Manager console's New Virtual Machine Wizard. <Correct>

3. Configure multiple virtual hard disks when running the Hyper-V Manager console's New Virtual Machine Wizard.

4. Enable the Make this VM Highly Available option in the Hyper-V Manager console's New Virtual Machine Wizard.

Explanation:The SCVMM 2008 New Virtual Machine Wizard has an option that allows you to specify that the new virtual machine must be highly available. When selected, this means that SCVMM 2008 will place the virtual machine on a highly available host cluster rather than a Hyper-V machine that does not provide high availability services. This option is not present through the Hyper-V console.

Configuring multiple virtual hard disks will not ensure that a virtual machine will be highly available.

Under what conditions is it not necessary to configure authorization manager policies for a user who will be using the RSAT Hyper-V tools to manage a Server Core instance of Hyper-V from a Windows Server 2008 computer? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. You have run the netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) new enable yes command on the Server Core Hyper-V computer.

2. The user's account is a member of the local administrators group on the management computer. <Correct>

3. The user's account is a member of the local Power Users group on the management computer.

4. The user's account is a member of the local administrators group on the Server Core Hyper-V computer.<Correct>

5. The user's account is a member of the local Power Users group on the Server Core Hyper-V computer.

6. You have run the netsh advfirewall firewall set rule group="Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) new enable yes command on the management computer.

Explanation:It is not necessary to configure Authorization Manager policies if the user who requires remote access to the server running Hyper-V belongs to the Administrators local group on both computers.

Firewall rules do not influence whether Authorization Manager policies must be enabled.

If users are only members of the Power Users group, it will be necessary to enable authorization manager policies.

Values over 100 for which of the following performance monitor counters would indicate that a virtual machine needs to be allocated more memory to improve performance?

1. Memory \ Page Writes/sec

2. Memory \ Page Faults/sec <Correct>

3. Memory \ Available Mbytes

4. Memory \ Page Reads/sec

Explanation:A reading of 100 on the Memory \ Page Faults/sec indicate that a virtual machine does not have enough RAM because the computer is having to search outside RAM for data.

Page reads and writes are normally high on many servers.

A server with 100 megabytes of free memory is not as critical as one that is experiencing high page-fault activity.

Which of the following statements about Hyper-V Quick Migration is true?

1. All virtual machines must be members of the same Active Directory domain.

2. All virtual machines must be members of the same Active Directory domain as the cluster nodes.

3. All nodes in the cluster must be members of the same Active Directory domain. <Correct>

4. Cluster nodes can be members of different Active Directory forests as long as those forests share a trust.

Explanation:All nodes in the Hyper-V failover cluster must be members of the same Active Directory domain.

Cluster nodes cannot be members of separate forests.

Virtual machines do not need to be members of the same Active Directory domain as the cluster they are hosted on.

Virtual machines do not need to be part of an Active Directory environment.

1. Relative Weight

2. RAM <Correct>

3. Virtual Machine Limit

Which of the following must you do to enable Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) in System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Enable PRO for roles.

2. Enable PRO for templates.

3. Enable PRO for individual host groups and clusters. <Correct>

4. Enable PRO for individual virtual machines.

5. Configure Operations Manager 2007 integration. <Correct>

Explanation:To activate Performance and Resource Optimization (PRO) in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 environment, you need to configure Operations Manager 2007 integration and then enable PRO for host groups and host clusters that will participate in PRO.

You do not need to enable PRO for individual virtual machines.

Roles are used for delegation of administrative rights. Templates are used to simplify the deployment of new virtual machines.

You are configuring a virtualized AD LDS server. Data is written to and extracted from this server by clients across your organization.

Which of the following can you do to ensure that the virtualized AD LDS server is available in the event of hardware failure? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Clone the virtualized AD LDS server.

2. Configure the virtualized AD LDS server to be highly available. <Correct>

3. Configure multiple Hyper-V servers in a failover cluster. <Correct>

4. Configure multiple Hyper-V servers in a Network Load Balanced configuration.

5. Configure multiple Hyper-V servers in a DNS round robin configuration.

Explanation:You should create a Hyper-V failover cluster and configure the virtual machine to be highly available.

DNS round robin and Network Load Balancing technologies are not appropriate for applications that read and write to a single location, such as AD LDS, because different data might be available depending on which node a client request is sent to.

You want to build a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server that will not lose data in the event that a disk drive fails. You want to host virtual machine data on a separate volume from the operating system. You want both volumes to have the best performance possible. You want to use the software RAID functionality built into Windows Server 2008.

Which of the following configurations should you choose? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Configure the data volume as a spanned volume.

2. Configure the system volume as a striped volume.

3. Configure the data volume as a striped with parity volume. <Correct>

4. Configure the system volume as a striped with parity volume.

5. Configure the system volume as a spanned volume.

6. Configure the data volume as a striped volume.

7. Configure the system volume as a mirrored volume. <Correct>

8. Configure the data volume as a mirrored volume.

Explanation:The volume hosting the Windows Server 2008 operating system cannot use software RAID-5. The only way to achieve fault tolerance using software RAID is to mirror the volume. Using a spanned or striped volume will not provide fault tolerance. The data volume should be configured to use software RAID-5. This meets the objective of providing the best performance while retaining fault tolerance.

You are configuring a virtual machine to be highly available in a failover cluster.

Which setting should you configure under the Automatic Start Action using Hyper-V manager?

1. Automatically Start If It Was Running When The Service Stopped

2. Nothing <Correct>

3. Always Start The Virtual Machine Automatically

4. Save Virtual Machine State

Explanation:The startup of virtual machines needs on a failover cluster needs to be managed by the failover cluster service. This means that you need to configure the Automatic Start Action in Hyper-V manager to do nothing.

If you set the virtual machine to automatically start, this will interfere with the failover process.

1. QoS Packet Scheduler

2. Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)

3. Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol <Correct>

4. Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)

5. Client for Microsoft Networks

Explanation:When you create a new external virtual network, a virtual network adapter is created. All standard protocols and services are bound to the virtual network adapter and the only protocol bound to the physical network adapter is the Microsoft Virtual Network Switch Protocol.

You want to use the configuration of a specific virtual machine as a template for future virtual machines used on a specific Hyper-V server. The virtual machine is named VM_Template and you export the virtual machine to the C:\template\ folder.

Which of the following steps should you take when using the virtual machine Import function of Hyper-V to create new virtual machines? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Select the Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option when performing an import.

2. Import the virtual machine from the C:\template\vm_template folder.

3. Move files from the C:\template\vm_template folder to a new location.

4. Copy files from the C:\template\vm_template folder to a new location. <Correct>

5. Import the virtual machine from the new folder location. <Correct>

Explanation:You can only import from a specific location once because imported virtual machines are stored in the folder that they were imported from and imported configuration files are removed after import.

Only use the Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option if you want to replace the existing template virtual machine.

If the original virtual machine is still present on the Hyper-V server, the operation will fail because the virtual machine ID needs to be unique.

If you move the virtual machine files and then perform the import, you will lose the template virtual machine and will have to re-create it.

You want to manage a Hyper-V server that is running on a Server Core computer with the 64-bit version of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise installed from an x86 version of Windows Server 2008.

Which of the following roles or features should you install?

1. WAIK tools

2. Adminpak.msi

3. Windows PowerShell

4. RSAT tools <Correct>

Explanation:You should install the Remote Systems Administration Tools (RSAT) because this includes Hyper-V management tools.

WAIK tools are the Windows Automated Installation Kit tools and are used for automated operating system deployment, not Hyper-V management.

Adminpak.msi was used on Windows Server 2003 as an equivalent to the RSAT tools.

Although Windows PowerShell can be used to perform some virtual machine management tasks with System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, you cannot manage Hyper-V virtual machines just using Windows PowerShell from another Windows Server 2008 computer.

Which of the following steps can you take to ensure that the data stored on a Hyper-V virtual machine remains available in the event of hardware failure? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Store the virtual machine data on a mirrored LUN. <Correct>

2. Within the virtual machine, configure the virtual machine virtual hard disks in RAID 5 configuration.

3. Store the virtual machine data on a striped LUN.

4. Configure the virtual machine to be highly available in a Windows Server 2008 failover cluster. <Correct>

5. Within the virtual machine, configure the virtual machine virtual hard disks in Mirrored configuration.

6. Configure the virtual machine to be highly available in a Windows Server 2008 Network Load Balancing cluster.

Explanation:Because virtual machine hard disks are just data files, putting them in a redundant configuration within the virtual machine will not ensure that they remain available in the event of hardware failure. You need to place virtual machine data on a shared storage device that uses redundant technology, such as a mirrored LUN. You also need to use a failover cluster because this is the only way to ensure that a virtual machine remains available in the event of any hardware failure.

1. Virtual machines with more than two virtual hard disk drives

2. Virtual machines with more than two legacy network adapters

3. Virtual machines with more than two snapshots <Correct>

4. Virtual machines with more than two virtual processors

Explanation:You cannot use the Windows Server Backup Applications recovery type to recover virtual machines that have more than two snapshots. To recover virtual machines that have more than two snapshots, you need to perform a file and folder restoration to restore virtual machine snapshots and then perform another restore to restore virtual machines.

Virtual machines with more than two virtual hard disk drives, virtual processors, or legacy network adapters can be recovered using the Windows Server Backup Applications recovery type.

Which of the following Integration Services components do you need to ensure is enabled if you want the virtual machine to be gracefully shut down when the Hyper-V host is shut down?

1. Operating System Shutdown <Correct>

2. Data Exchange

3. Backup (Volume Snapshot)

4. Heartbeat

5. Time Synchronization

Explanation:You must install Integration Services and enable the Operating System Shutdown component if you want to allow Hyper-V to gracefully shut down the virtual machine without requiring you to log on directly and perform the shutdown yourself.

You do not need to enable Time Synchronization, Data Exchange, Heartbeat, or Backup Integration Services to ensure that the operating system shuts down gracefully.

To which group should you add the contractor's account?

1. Backup Operators

2. Administrators <Correct>

3. Power Users

4. Network Configuration Operators

Explanation:To install and configure the Hyper-V role on a Windows Server 2008 computer, a user account must be a member of the local Administrators group. Members of the Backup Operators, Power Users, and Network Configuration Operators groups do not have the requisite privileges to install and configure the Hyper-V role on a computer running Windows Server 2008.

Users are complaining that an Exchange Server 2007 mailbox server, virtualized and hosted on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V virtual machine, is performing poorly. You use data collector sets to capture performance data over a period of normal usage. This results in the following average performance counter statistics:



1. Virtual hard disk

2. Memory


4. Virtual network interface <Correct>

Explanation:According to the statistics in the question, the only resource that appears to be under any pressure is the virtual network interface. This problem could be resolve by adding an additional network adapter to the host Hyper-V server and then connecting a second external virtual network to the virtualized exchange server.

You would not resolve this problem by adding a virtual network adapter and connecting it to the existing virtual network because this is the network under pressure.

1. You are importing a virtual machine to the server it was exported from and the original is not present.

2. You are importing a virtual machine to a new server where no virtual machines are present.

3. You are importing a virtual machine to the server it was exported from and the original is still present. <Correct>

4. You are importing a virtual machine to a new server where you have previously imported the same virtual machine with this option enabled. <Correct>

5. You are importing a virtual machine to a new server where you have previously imported the same virtual machine without this option enabled.

Explanation:Each virtual machine has a unique ID. The Reuse Old Virtual Machine IDs option allows you to retain the existing virtual machine ID in the event that you need to restore the virtual machine should it be lost because of deletion or data corruption. You can import a virtual machine with its old ID to a new Hyper-V host, but only one virtual machine on each Hyper-V server can use a particular virtual machine ID.

A Windows Server 2008 virtual machine that hosts a Microsoft SQL Server 2008 database is experiencing significant amounts of virtual hard disk activity. You capture performance data over the course of a week and find that the counters for which you gathered statistics have the following average values:



1. Virtual network interface


3. Virtual hard disk

4. Memory <Correct>

Explanation:The performance counter data suggests that the virtual machine does not have enough memory.

Although the disk-related counter is exhibiting high values, this can be explained by the lack of memory, which is likely to cause significant swapping of virtual memory within the virtual machine.

The performance data for the processor and virtual network interface suggest that these resources are not under significant pressure.

You are migrating several development servers hosted using Virtual PC on individual developer workstations to a Hyper-V server. This will ensure that important development data is not lost in the event of a developer's workstation failing.

Which of the following should you do prior to copying the Virtual PC virtual hard disk files to the Hyper-V host? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Remove Virtual Machine Additions. <Correct>

2. Delete snapshots.

3. Put the virtual machine in a saved state.

4. Compress virtual machine hard disks.

5. Shut down the virtual machines. <Correct>

6. Commit undo disks. <Correct>

Explanation:Migrating from Virtual PC to Hyper-V is essentially the same as migrating from Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 to Hyper-V. You must ensure that undo disks are committed and that the virtual machine is in a shutdown state. You should also remove Virtual Machine Additions as these can cause problems with Hyper-V Integration Services.

It is not necessary to delete snapshots because Virtual PC does not use snapshots. It is not necessary to compress virtual machine hard disks.

You are in the process of planning a Hyper-V deployment in a building that was built in the nineteenth century and where wireless networks are generally used for connectivity to comply with government-heritage regulations. A wired network infrastructure connects to base stations on each level, but computers that rely on physical connectivity are all located in the basement. You will use the x64 version of Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition. You will install the operating system using the Server Core option. You want to use two network adapters, one of which will be for the exclusive use of virtual guests, the other for management through Remote Desktop. The computer hardware that you will use for the deployment currently includes a built-in wireless network adapter.

Which of the following must you do to ensure that networking in Hyper-V functions as required?

1. Add two physical LAN adapters to the server. <Correct>

2. Add two Wireless LAN adapters to the server.

3. Add one physical LAN adapter to the server.

4. Add one Wireless LAN adapter to the server.

Explanation:Hyper-V guests cannot interface with a wireless network adapter through virtual networks and the Server Core installation option does not support the wireless networking feature that must be installed on a Windows Server 2008 computer before it can access wireless networks. This means that you must install two physical LAN adapters: one for the virtual machine and another for server management on the server that you will use to host Hyper-V.

Which of the following methods can you use to clone a virtual machine that has three snapshots five times? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Export the virtual machine to one folder. Copy the folder four times. Import the virtual machine five times: once from the original folder and once from each of the copies. <Correct>

2. Shut down the virtual machine. Copy the original virtual machines folder to five new directories. Import the virtual machine from each new directory.

3. Export the virtual machine to five separate folders. Import the virtual machine from each of these folders.<Correct>

4. Export the virtual machine to one folder. Move the folder four times. Import the virtual machine five times from the original folder.

5. Export the virtual machine to one folder. Import the virtual machine five times from this folder.

Explanation:To clone a virtual machine five times you can export it to five different times to five different folders, or you can export it once and then create four copies.

Each imported virtual machine stores its files in the import directory, so you cannot move files during cloning.

You cannot just copy the virtual machine directory and then import it to clone a virtual machine.

You can only import a virtual machine if it was exported.

You can create a new virtual machine and then attach a copied virtual hard disk, but this does not create a clone of a virtual machine with snapshots.

A virtual machine on one of the Hyper-V servers that you are responsible for managing is assigned four virtual processors. The Processor\% Processor Time counter in Performance Monitor is regularly above 85 percent for this particular virtual machine.

Which of the following virtual machine settings modifications could you make to alleviate this problem? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Increase the virtual machine reserve. <Correct>

2. Add an additional virtual processor.

3. Increase the relative weight. <Correct>

4. Remove an existing virtual processor.

5. Decrease the virtual machine limit.

Explanation:Increasing the virtual machine reserve increases the minimum amount of processor resources the virtual machine is assigned when there is contention for resources. Increasing the relative weight allows the virtual machine greater resources when there is contention for those resources. Both these settings will increase the amount of processor resources the virtual machine can access.

Virtual machines can only be assigned a maximum of four virtual processors under Hyper-V, so it is not possible to add an additional virtual processor because the computer has the maximum number available.

Removing an existing processor will not increase the amount of available processor resources.

Decreasing the virtual machine limit will reduce the amount of processor resources the virtual machine can access.

2. Local IDE virtual hard disk <Correct>

3. Directly attached IDE hard disk

4. Local SCSI virtual hard disk <Correct>

5. Directly attached SCSI hard disk

6. IDE virtual hard disk hosted on iSCSI LUN <Correct>

Explanation:Directly attached storage, be it local or remote, such as an iSCSI or Fibre Channel LUN, does not support dynamically expanding hard disks. You can store a dynamically expanding hard disk on a local or remote storage device; you just cannot use dynamically expanding disks with directly attached hardware.

You have committed the undo disks of a Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 virtual machine and then copied the hard disk file to a computer running Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V.

Which of the following do you need to do to migrate the virtual machine so that it functions under Hyper-V?

1. Create a new virtual machine and connect the virtual hard disk file. <Correct>

2. Import the virtual hard disk file using Hyper-V.

3. Import the virtual machine using Hyper-V.

4. Export the virtual machine using Hyper-V.

Explanation:When migrating from Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 to Hyper-V, it is not possible to perform an import or an export using the built in Hyper-V tools. You must create a new virtual machine and then attach the existing Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 hard disk drive.

Importing and exporting in Hyper-V only works with Hyper-V native virtual machines.

You are in the process of acquiring and configuring hardware for a four-node Hyper-V failover cluster. Each node in the cluster will have the Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition operating system installed. The cluster will use the Node and Disk Majority quorum model. You will be hosting enough highly available virtual guests on the cluster to use all the virtual machine licenses that are included with this edition of Windows Server 2008. Each virtual machine should be assigned to a separate LUN.

How many LUNs are required for this deployment?

1. One

2. Six

3. Nine

4. Four

5. Two

6. Five <Correct>

7. Three

Explanation:You will need five LUNs. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition includes four Windows virtual guest licenses. Because one LUN will be devoted to each highly available virtual guest and one LUN is required for the cluster witness disk under the node and disk majority model, you require a total of five LUNs.

You are in the process of trying to determine what modifications you can make to a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine hosted on a Hyper-V server is performing poorly. You collect performance data on the machine over a period of typical use and get the following averages:


Which of the following steps could you take to best deal with the problem?

1. Add a second virtual hard disk.

2. Add a second virtual network interface.

3. Assign more RAM to the virtual machine.

4. Add an additional virtual processor to the virtual machine. <Correct>

Explanation:The Performance Counter statistics indicate that the virtual processor is under resource pressure. Adding an additional processor is likely to alleviate the problem. The memory performance counter indicates that there is enough memory for the virtual machine.

Although the virtual hard disk is not a problem, adding a second virtual hard disk will not resolve disk performance issues unless some of the files that are being read or written are moved to the new location.

The network performance counter indicates no problems.

Which of the following are included when you perform a virtual machine export? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Authorization Manager administrative delegations

2. Snapshots <Correct>

3. Virtual network VLAN ID settings <Correct>

4. Saved state <Correct>

Explanation:Snapshots and saved states are included when you perform an export.

All virtual machine settings, including virtual network VLAN IDs, are included when you perform an export.

Authorization manager delegations are stored within Authorization Manager and are tied to the original virtual machine's location. This means that if you delegate administrative permissions to one group of users using Authorization Manager and then export the virtual machine, those users will not automatically have administrative permissions on the newly imported virtual machine.

Which of the following options should you select when creating a virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine Wizard when you intend to install the virtual machine's operating system directly using Windows Deployment Services and the WDS server is located on a computer other than the Hyper-V host? (Choose all that apply.)

1. External Virtual Network <Correct>

2. Install an Operating System From A Boot Floppy Disk

3. Internal Virtual Network

4. Install an Operating System From a Boot CD/DVD-ROM

5. Install An Operating System From A Network-Based Installation Server <Correct>

Explanation:Selecting the Install An Operating System From A Network-Based Installation Server configures the virtual machine to boot from a legacy network adapter.

Booting from a legacy network adapter is the only way to get a virtual machine to obtain its operating system from Windows Deployment Services.

If you select an Internal Virtual Network, the virtual machine will only be able to communicate with the Hyper-V server.

You need to select External Virtual Network so that the virtual machine can communicate with an external WDS server.

Choosing the Boot Floppy Disk option or the Boot CD/DVD-ROM option will not allow you to install from a WDS server directly.

Which of the following conditions are required for the creation of two node Hyper-V failover clusters? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Both nodes must have the same number of processor cores.

2. Both nodes must use either Server Core or the traditional installation option. <Correct>

3. Both nodes must have the same number of network adapters.

4. Both nodes must run the same edition of Windows Server 2008. <Correct>

5. Both nodes must have the same Windows Server 2008 roles installed.

Explanation:Both nodes in a two-node failover cluster must have the same edition of Windows Server 2008 installed, either Datacenter or Enterprise, and both nodes must use the same installation option.

It is not possible to mix Server Core and traditional installation options in the same failover cluster. Although Microsoft recommends that you use servers that have an identical hardware and software configuration, beyond using the same edition and installation options, you can configure nodes in the same failover cluster that have different numbers of processor cores, different numbers of network cards, and different roles beyond Hyper-V installed.

You are in the process of planning the virtual hard disk configuration of a virtual machine that will be hosted on a cluster running Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition with Hyper-V. The highly available virtual machine will need to store 20 terabytes of data.

Which of the following IDE and/or SCSI controller configurations would support the number of virtual hard drives required for this configuration?

1. One virtual SCSI controller only

2. Two virtual SCSI controllers

3. One virtual IDE controller only

4. Two virtual IDE controllers

5. One virtual IDE controller and one virtual SCSI controller <Correct>

Explanation:A virtual machine startup disk must be connected to a virtual IDE controller. The maximum size of any single virtual hard disk is 2040 GB. Virtual IDE controllers support a maximum of two disks and you can allocate a maximum of two IDE controllers to a single Hyper-V virtual machine, which would not meet the 20 terabyte requirement.

Virtual SCSI controllers support up to 64 virtual SCSI hard disks. A single virtual IDE controller for the boot disk and a single virtual SCSI controller to host all other virtual hard disk drives will meet the 20 terabyte requirement.

What is the approximate maximum amount of storage available to a Hyper-V virtual machine that uses only IDE virtual hard disks?

1. 2 terabytes

2. 8 terabytes <Correct>

3. 16 terabytes

4. 32 terabytes

Explanation:Virtual hard disks are a maximum of approximately 2040 GB in size. This limit applies whether the virtual hard disk drive is an IDE or SCSI device. The maximum number of IDE virtual hard disk drives that can be hosted on a Hyper-V virtual machine is 4. This means that a Hyper-V virtual machine that uses only virtual IDE hard disk drives has a maximum storage capacity of 8160 GB.

Which of the following permissions should you assign to the Self-service User group role so that the users can resolve this issue without going over quota?

1. Local Administrator

2. Checkpoint

3. Shut Down

4. Pause and Resume

5. Remove <Correct>

Explanation:Assigning the Remove virtual machine permission will allow users of the self-service portal to delete virtual machines that they have created but no longer need. This allows them to stay within their assigned quota.

Pause and Resume allows virtual machines to be placed in and retrieved from a saved state.

Checkpoint allows snapshots to be taken and reverted to.

Local Administrator allows the creator of a virtual machine to set the local administrator password on the virtual machine.

Shut Down allows the virtual machine to be shut down by the self-service portal user.

You are in the process of allocating virtual machine reserves on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server that has 16 quad-core processors. Hyper-threading is enabled.

If each virtual machine is assigned four logical processors and is also assigned a virtual machine reserve of 25 percent, how many virtual machines can be concurrently active on the server before 75 percent of total system resources in Hyper-V are allocated?

1. 4

2. 8

3. 12 <Correct>

4. 16

Explanation:A maximum of 16 virtual processors are available to Hyper-V, even when a computer has more cores present. If each virtual machine is assigned four logical processors and a 25 percent virtual machine reserve, each virtual machine active utilizes 6.25 percent of total system resources when active. This means that 12 virtual machines can be active using these settings before 75 percent of total system resources available to Hyper-V are consumed.

Explanation:You must configure Authorization Manager policies to allow a user that is not a member of the local administrators group on the Hyper-V server the ability to manage Hyper-V. This must be done on the Hyper-V server, not the workstation from which the administration will take place.

When two computers are members of the same Active Directory domain it is not necessary to configure membership of the Distributed COM Users local group on the Hyper-V server.

When two computers are members of the same Active Directory domain, it is not necessary to configure WMI permissions on the Hyper-V server.

Which of the following solutions could you apply to improve the performance of this virtual machine?

1. Mirror the volume that hosts the virtual hard disk.

2. Add a second virtual hard disk. Mirror the original virtual hard disk.

3. Move the virtual hard disk to a RAID-5 volume. <Correct>

4. Add a second virtual hard disk. Extend the volume on the original virtual hard disk.

Explanation:You can improve the performance of a virtual hard disk by improving the performance of the volume that hosts the virtual hard disk.

Mirroring a virtual hard disk from within the virtual machine, or mirroring the volume hosting the virtual hard disk, will not improve performance.

Extending a volume will not improve performance.

Which edition of Windows Server 2008 should you choose to minimize licensing costs if you want to host four virtual machines on a single Hyper-V server, each of which requires 12 GB of RAM?

1. Windows Web Server 2008


3. Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition <Correct>

4. Windows Server 2008 Datacenter edition

Explanation:Windows Server 2008 Enterprise edition includes licenses for running four Windows virtual guests. The Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2008 also supports more than 32 GB of RAM and the virtual machines mentioned in the question will require 48 GB of RAM.

The Hyper-V role service is not available on Windows Web Server 2008. The Standard edition of Windows Server 2008 only includes a single license for running a Windows Virtual guest and supports a maximum of 32 GB of RAM.

Although the Datacenter edition of Windows Server 2008 includes unlimited virtual guest licenses and supports up to 2 terabytes of RAM, only four licenses are required.

The Enterprise edition of Windows Server 2008 is cheaper to license than the Datacenter edition of Windows Server 2008.

You have given several developers the ability to revert virtual machines to snapshots. Although this has worked for some time, more recently developers are finding themselves unable to log on to these virtual machines using their domain credentials when they revert to an older snapshot.

Which of the following steps can you take to assist when this problem arises?

1. Reset the virtual machine's computer account in Active Directory Users And Computers. <Correct>

2. Reset the developer's password in Active Directory Users And Computers.

3. Reset the Hyper-V server's computer account in Active Directory Users And Computers.

4. Reboot the virtual machine.

5. Reboot the Hyper-V server.

Explanation:Computer account passwords are changed periodically in domain environments. This means that computers that are members of the domain, when reverted to old snapshots, can end up with passwords that do not match those stored with the computer account in Active Directory Users And Computers. This problem can be resolved by resetting the computer account. You can also reconfigure Active Directory to stop computer account passwords from automatically being changed or delegate the right for users to add and remove computers from the domain, though these options were not available in this question. Rebooting the virtual machine or Hyper-V server will not resolve the problem. The Hyper-V computer and the user's passwords are not the problem and should not be altered.

You are in the process of setting up Windows Server 2008 enterprise edition on a computer that will function as a Hyper-V server. The computer has an x64-compatible processor and 2 terabytes of RAM.

Which of the following features must you enable in the computer's BIOS before you can start successfully using Hyper-V? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) <Correct>

2. Hardware-assisted Virtualization <Correct>

3. Core Multi-Processing

4. Dynamic CPU Frequency Mode

5. Wake on LAN

Explanation:To install and use the Hyper-V role, your x64-based processor needs the Hardware-assisted Virtualization and Hardware-enforced Data Execution Prevention (DEP) features enabled in BIOS.

Dynamic CPU Frequency Mode is a feature that reduces CPU power consumption and speed when it is not required by the computer. This feature is not required for Hyper-V.

Core Multi-Processing enables multiple CPU cores to be active. Although it is a good idea to have all cores enabled, this is not necessary for Hyper-V.

Wake on LAN allows a computer to be woken from sleep when it intercepts a special signal on its network adapter. This feature is not necessary for Hyper-V.

You have created a master virtual machine, prepared it with Sysprep, and then shut it down. Which of the following methods could you use to make multiple clones of this virtual machine? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Export the template computer to a new directory. Create new differencing disks using the exported computer's VHD disk file. Create new virtual machines and attach the new differencing disks. <Correct>

2. Export the template computer to a new directory. Create new virtual machines and attach the exported computer's VHD file.

3. Create new differencing disks using the template computer disk's VHD file. Create new virtual machines and attach the new differencing disks. <Correct>

4. Copy the virtual machine's VHD file to new directories. Create new virtual machines and attach the copied VHD files.<Correct>

Explanation:You can create clones through the use of differencing disks attached to new virtual machines.

The differencing disks will only record the changes made to the original disk, which in this case hosts the template virtual machine.

You can also create clones by copying the original VHD file and attaching it to new virtual machines.

Only one virtual machine can use a specific VHD file; they cannot be shared between virtual machines unless differencing disks are used.

Your Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V server hosts virtual machine and snapshot data on Volume D. Snapshots are currently stored in the Hyper-V folder on that volume. You want to reconfigure existing virtual machines to store their snapshot data to the Snapshots directory on Volume E. Each virtual machine has between 7 and 10 existing snapshots.

Which of the following must you do prior to altering each virtual machine's Snapshot File Location setting?

1. Copy the existing snapshots to the Snapshots directory on Volume D.

2. Use Hyper-V Manager to delete existing snapshots. <Correct>

3. Copy the existing snapshots to the Snapshots directory on Volume E.

4. Export each virtual machine.

Explanation:It is necessary to use the Hyper-V Manager to delete any existing snapshots before it is possible to alter a virtual machine's Snapshot File Location setting.

Although it is possible to copy virtual machine data to the new location, it will not be possible to alter the Snapshot File Location setting until existing snapshots are deleted using Hyper-V Manager.

Copies must be made using the file system because it is not possible to copy snapshots to new locations using Hyper-V manager.

Exporting a virtual machine does not remove existing snapshots.

Which of the following virtual network types should you configure for virtual machines running on your Hyper-V server when you want to allow communication between the Hyper-V server and the virtual machines, but do not want to allow communication between external hosts and the virtual machines?

1. Private virtual network

2. Internal virtual network <Correct>


4. External virtual network

Explanation:You should configure an internal virtual network when you want to allow communication between the host operating system and the virtual machines, but do not want to allow communication between external hosts and the virtual machines.

External virtual networks allow external hosts to communicate with virtual machines.

Private virtual networks do not allow the internal host to communicate with the virtual machines.

No virtual network allows no communication.

You have installed a custom operating system in a virtual machine. This custom operating system does not appear to work with Integration Services and you are unable to establish external network communications with the custom virtual machine.

Which of the following changes to the virtual machine configuration will resolve this issue?

1. Add a standard network adapter. Connect it to an external virtual network.

2. Add a standard network adapter. Connect it to an internal virtual network.

3. Add a legacy network adapter. Connect it to an external virtual network. <Correct>

4. Add a legacy network adapter. Connect it to an internal virtual network.

Explanation:Legacy network adapters should be used with operating systems that do not support Integration Services. You should connect a legacy network adapter to an external virtual network if you want to allow such operating systems to communicate with hosts other than the parent partition.

You should not connect a legacy network adapter to an internal virtual network because internal virtual networks are only able to communicate with the parent partition and are unable to communicate with external hosts.

5. Create a new Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library.

6. Use the Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Add Hosts Wizard. <Correct>

Explanation:When you add a compatible host to a Virtual Machine Manager 2008 server in the same domain, it automatically installs Hyper-V if it is not already present.

There are two ways to add hosts to a VMM 2008 server: use the Add Hosts Wizard or the Add-VMHost Powershell cmdlet.

Creating host groups, either using the Virtual Machine Manager console or the New-VMMHostGroup cmdlet, will not automatically deploy Hyper-V.

Creating a VMM 2008 library will not automatically deploy Hyper-V.

The Get-VMHost cmdlet displays information about a virtual machine host. It will not add the Hyper-V role to an existing host.

1. Add a standard network adapter.

2. Add a legacy network adapter.

3. Install Linux Integration Components. <Correct>

4. Enable Limit Processor functionality.

Explanation:A Hypercall Adapter is software that translates Xen-specific virtualization functions from a virtualization enabled Linux kernel to Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization functions. This improves the performance of Linux virtual machines and the Hypercall Adapter is part of the Linux Integration Components, which function similarly to Integration Services on a Windows-based virtual machine. Installing network adapters or limiting processor functionality will not install a Hypercall Adapter on a Linux-based virtual machine.

1. Create virtual machine templates for self-service users using SCVMM 2008. <Correct>

2. Create a virtual machine host group for self-service virtual machines using SCVMM 2008. <Correct>

3. Create Self-service User role using SCVMM 2008. <Correct>

4. Create a Self-service User role using Authorization Manager.

5. Grant permissions to the Self-service User role that allow the performance of tasks on virtual machines and the creation of virtual machines using templates using SCVMM 2008. <Correct>

6. Create an authorization manager self-service task that allows the performance of tasks on virtual machines and the creation of virtual machines using templates.

Explanation:After you have installed the SCVMM 2008 portal, you need to create a host group for self-service virtual machines, create user roles, create virtual machine templates for those roles, and grant those roles the appropriate permissions.

When you use SCVMM 2008, you do not need to use authorization manager to create and manage user roles or delegate administrative tasks the way you need to in environments that only have Hyper-V.

Which of the following can you restore individually using Windows Server Backup?

1. A virtual machine snapshot subtree

2. A virtual machine snapshot

3. A virtual hard disk file <Correct>

4. A single virtual machine

Explanation:You cannot use Windows Server Backup to restore individual virtual machines by name. All virtual machines on a particular volume will be restored, in this case all virtual machines on the Hyper-V server.

You can restore individual files and folders using Windows Server Backup, making it possible to restore an individual virtual hard disk file, though this could lead to complications if there are snapshots.

It is not possible to restore individual snapshots or snapshot subtrees using Windows Server Backup.

Which quorum mode should you configure for a four-node Hyper-V failover cluster located at a single site that has a LUN available to store virtual machine data and a LUN available to store witness disk data?

1. Node and Disk Majority <Correct>

2. No Majority: Disk Only

3. Node and File Share Majority

4. Node Majority

Explanation:Microsoft recommends that you use the Node and Disk Majority quorum model when you configure a failover cluster at a single site that has an even number of nodes and access to a shared disk resource that can store cluster configuration data.

The Node Majority quorum model is recommended for clusters that have an odd number of nodes.

The Node and File Share Majority is recommended for clusters that have an even number of nodes, but lack shared storage, or are located at multiple sites.

Microsoft does not recommend use of the No Majority: Disk Only quorum model because it has a single point of failure.

Which quorum mode should you configure for a five-node Hyper-V failover cluster located at a single site that will use an iSCSI SAN to store virtual machine data?

1. Node and Disk Majority

2. No Majority: Disk Only

3. Node and File Share Majority

4. Node Majority <Correct>

Explanation:Microsoft recommends the Node Majority quorum model when failover clusters have an odd number of nodes.

The Node and Disk Majority quorum model is recommended when there is an even number of nodes and shared storage for a disk witness is available.

The Node and File Share Majority quorum model is recommended when there is an even number of nodes and no shared storage device is available for the disk witness, or cluster nodes are located at separate sites.

You cannot use the No Majority: Disk Only model unless shared storage is available.

You are planning to deploy a new Windows Server 2008 computer on a network isolated from the Internet that will function as a Hyper-V server. The computer is named VIRT-HOST. Even though you have installed the 64 bit edition of Windows Server 2008 on VIRT-HOST and have virtualization extensions and the non-execute bit enabled in bios, the RTM version of the Hyper-V role is not available.

Which of the following must you do to make this role available for installation on VIRT-HOST?

1. Deploy a SCVMM 2008 server on the isolated network. Run Windows Update on VIRT-HOST.

2. Download and install the Hyper-V Remote Management Tools package on a network connected computer. Install this package on VIRT-HOST.

3. Deploy a WSUS 3.0 SP1 server on the isolated network. Run Windows Update on VIRT-HOST.

4. Download the Hyper-V Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition (KB950050) on a network connected computer. Transfer and install this update on VIRT-HOST. <Correct>

Explanation:The RTM version of Windows Server 2008 does not include the RTM Hyper-V role package. This package is available as a recommended update through Windows Update, but on a server located on a network isolated from the Internet, you will need to install the Hyper-V Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition (KB950050).

Deploying a WSUS 3.0 SP1 server on an isolated network will not provide the server with the update because the WSUS server will not be able to download the update from Windows Update. Generally, it is a good idea to come up with some method of deploying updates to servers on isolated networks.

This update cannot be deployed from an SCVMM 2008 server.

Installing the Hyper-V Remote Management Tools will not make the Hyper-V role available on an installation performed using Windows Server 2008 RTM media.

You are planning to migrate 15 virtual machines that are currently hosted on a computer running Windows Server 2003 R2 and Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 to a computer running Windows Server 2008.

Which of the following steps should you take to accomplish this goal? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Use Hyper-V to import the virtual machines.

2. Use Virtual Server 2005 R2 SP1 to export the virtual machines to the new server.

3. Copy virtual server virtual machine hard disks to the Hyper-V server. <Correct>

4. Create new virtual machines in Hyper-V. Attach Virtual Server virtual machine hard disks to these Hyper-V virtual machines. <Correct>

5. Use Hyper-V to commit undo disks.

6. Use Virtual Server to commit undo disks. <Correct>

7. Use Hyper-V to shut down the virtual machines.

8. Boot the machines in Virtual Server and uninstall Virtual Machine Additions. <Correct>

9. Use Virtual Server to shut down the virtual machines. <Correct>

Explanation:You need to remove Virtual Server Virtual Machine additions prior to opening a virtual machine in Hyper-V.

The virtual server virtual machine needs to be shut down before it can be opened in Hyper-V.

You cannot export from Virtual Server and import to Hyper-V; you must attach the virtual server hard disk to a new virtual machine you create in Hyper-V.

It is not possible to install Hyper-V integration services on a virtual machine until Virtual Server 2005 Virtual Machine Additions have been removed.

Undo disks should be committed before you move virtual server virtual machine hard disks to the Hyper-V server.

You cannot commit virtual server virtual machine hard disks using Hyper-V.

Which of the following commands can you use to install Hyper-V on an x64 version of Windows Server 2008 that is deployed in the Server Core configuration?

1. Servermanagercmd.exe -install Hyper-V

2. Ocsetup.exe Hyper-V

3. Servermanagercmd.exe -install Microsoft-Hyper-V

4. Ocsetup.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V <Correct>

Explanation:The ocsetup.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V command allows you to deploy the Hyper-V role on a computer that has the x64 Windows Server 2008 Server Core operating system installed.

You cannot use the ocsetup.exe Hyper-V command because the name of the role on Server Core systems is Microsoft-Hyper-V.

The servermanagercmd.exe command allows you to deploy roles on non-Server Core installations of Windows Server 2008.

The command servermanagercmd.exe hyper-v installs Hyper-V on a traditional installation of Windows Server 2008, but does not install it on a Server Core installation.

Server Core Installation Option Getting Started GuideMicrosoft TechNetLink: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753802.aspx



______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Your assistant has just installed Windows Server 2008 Server Core on a computer with an x64 processor. Your assistant intends to install the Hyper-V role on this server, but receives an error informing her that the specified Windows component could not be found when issuing the command ocsetup.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V. You verify that an x64 version of Windows Server 2008 is installed and that the server has been activated.

Which of the following could you do to resolve this problem?

1. Issue the command Servermanagercmd.exe -install Microsoft-Hyper-V.

2. Issue the Windows PowerShell command Add-VMHost.

3. Issue the command oclist.exe Microsoft-Hyper-V.

4. Enable Windows Update and issue the command wuauclt /detectnow. <Correct>

Explanation:It is necessary to ensure that the Hyper-V Update for Windows Server 2008 x64 Edition (KB950050) is installed on a computer before you attempt to deploy the Hyper-V role. To do this on a Server Core computer you can either manually download the update and install it, or you can enable Windows Update (using the command cscript C:\windows\system32\scregedit.wsf /au 4), restart the wuauserv service, and then force update detection using wuauclt /detectnow. The update will then be retrieved from Microsoft's update servers and installed on the Server Core computer, necessitating a reboot. It will then be possible to install the role.

The PowerShell command Add-VMHost can only be issued from a computer with SCVMM 2008 installed.

Servermanagercmd.exe can only be used to install Hyper-V where the Hyper-V update is present.

Oclist provides a list of Server Core packages. It does not install Server Core.

Which of the following WMI namespaces must you grant a remote user permission to if you want to allow that user to remotely manage Hyper-V using Hyper-V tools without making him or her a member of the local administrators group on the Hyper-V server when the computers are not members of the same Active Directory environment? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. NAP

2. RSOP

3. Directory

4. Virtualization <Correct>

5. CIMV2 <Correct>

Explanation:You must grant permission on the CIMV2 and Virtualization WMI namespaces to grant a remote user who is not a member of the local administrators group the ability to manage a local instance of Hyper-V.

You do not need to grant permission on the Directory, NAP, or RSOP WMI namespaces to allow a remote user to manage a local instance of Hyper-V if that user's account is not a member of the local administrators group.

Which of the following storage types or locations can be backed up by Windows Server Backup and the Hyper-V VSS writer on the Hyper-V server? (Choose all that apply.)

1. Pass-through disks

2. Fibre Channel LUN attached to the virtual machine

3. Virtual Hard Disk files stored on iSCSI LUN attached to parent partition <Correct>

4. Virtual Hard Disk files stored on locally attached disks <Correct>

5. iSCSI LUN attached to the virtual machine

Explanation:You can back up virtual hard disk files stored on locally attached disks or iSCSI LUNs attached to the parent partition using Windows Server Backup. You cannot backup pass-through disks, iSCSI LUNs, or Fibre Channel LUNS that are connected directly to the virtual machine and not the parent partition using Windows Server Backup on the parent partition because these locations are not visible to the Hyper-V server.

A Hyper-V server is configured with four dual core-processors. Hyper-threading is not enabled. Each virtual machine is assigned two logical processors. Each virtual machine is assigned a virtual machine reserve of 50 percent.

How many virtual machines can be active concurrently before the percentage of total system resources allocated equals 75 percent?

1. 12

2. 6 <Correct>

3. 24

4. 3

Explanation:A server with four dual-core processors without hyper-threading will have eight logical processors available in Hyper-V. If you assign a single virtual machine two logical processors and assign it a virtual machine reserve setting of 50 percent, it will consume 12.5 percent of total system resources available. You can therefore have six virtual machines active with these settings before 75 percent of total system resources are consumed.

You want to allow three members of the Engineering department to control three virtual machines hosted on a Hyper-V server that you manage and that their department uses. You do not want to give these users control of any other virtual machines hosted on the same Hyper-V server. System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 is not present in your organization's environment.

Which of the following should you do?

1. Create and configure an operation using Authorization Manager for the three virtual machines.

2. Edit the virtual machine permissions using Active Directory Users And Computers.

3. Edit the virtual machine permissions using Hyper-V manager.

4. Create and configure a scope using Authorization Manager for the three virtual machines. <Correct>

Explanation:Authorization Manager scopes allow you to grant role-based control over specific virtual machines hosted on a Hyper-V server.

You cannot edit permissions for virtual machines using Hyper-V manager or Active Directory Users And Computers.

Operations are used to build tasks. Although you will use operations and tasks in configuring roles as part of a scope, you need to create a scope to limit permissions to a specific set of virtual machines.

You are planning the virtual network configuration of a Hyper-V virtual machine. The virtual machine will access data located on an iSCSI LUN located on your organization's Storage Area Network (SAN). The LUN will be accessed through a network adapter. Hosts on your organization's LAN will access data stored on the virtual machine.

How should you configure networking for this virtual machine?

1. Configure one network adapter. Attach this adapter to an external virtual network.

2. Configure two network adapters. Attach each adapter to an external virtual network. <Correct>

3. Configure one network adapter. Attach this adapter to an internal virtual network.

4. Configure two network adapters. Attach each adapter to an internal virtual network.

Explanation:When a computer running Windows Server 2008 uses a network adapter to connect to an iSCSI LUN, a network adapter must be devoted to communication with the iSCSI device. As hosts on the local area network need access to the virtual machine and the virtual machine needs access to the SAN, an external virtual network is required. This network must be attached to two network adapters, one for external communication, another devoted to communication with the iSCSI LUN.

1. Hardware Profile <Correct>

2. Job

3. Host Group

4. Guest OS Profile

Explanation:You configure virtual DVD drive mappings by configuring System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 hardware profiles.

You cannot configure virtual DVD drive mappings by configuring Guest OS profiles.

Host groups are collections of Hyper-V servers.

Jobs are actions or steps performed by System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 to complete tasks; they cannot be directly configured to map virtual DVD drives.

To which format must disk imaging software write if you want to be able to use the image in running a virtual machine under Hyper-V?

1. ISO format

2. BAK format

3. VHD format <Correct>

4. BIN format

Explanation:Many third-party disk imaging and backup products now support writing to Microsoft's Virtual Hard Disk (VHD) format, which can be mounted using Hyper-V.

Although it is possible to mount ISO files for CD/DVD-ROM images, virtual machines must use the VHD format.

BAK format was used for backup files in Windows operating systems prior to the release of Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008, which now write backups to VHD format.

You need to perform hardware maintenance on the active node of a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V failover cluster.

Which of the following steps should you take to gracefully failover virtual machines hosted on the cluster to the cluster's other node prior to shutting down the machine for maintenance?

1. On a node that does not host the virtual machine, right-click the virtual machine within the Failover Cluster Management console and select Move This Service Or Application To Another Node.

2. On the node that hosts the virtual machine, right-click the virtual machine within the Failover Cluster Management console and select Move This Service Or Application To Another Node. <Correct>

3. On a node that does not host the virtual machine, stop the cluster service using the Failover Cluster Management console.

4. On the node that hosts the virtual machine, stop the cluster service using the Failover Cluster Management console.

Explanation:Graceful failover can be initiated by using the Move This Service Or Application To Another Node functionality.

Although stopping the cluster service on the active node will cause failover to occur, it may not occur gracefully when the service is forcibly shut down.

You do not need to perform these actions on any other node in the cluster.

Server Alpha has an x64 CPU made by Intel. Server Beta has an x64 CPU made by AMD. You want to transfer a virtual machine from Server Alpha to Server Beta. SCVMM 2008 is not present in your environment.

Which of the following must you do prior to exporting the virtual machine from server Alpha?

1. Shut down the virtual machine. <Correct>

2. Delete any existing snapshots.

3. Enable the Limit Processor Functionality setting.

4. Turn on the virtual machine.

Explanation:To migrate a virtual machine from a Hyper-V host that uses one company's processor to another, it is necessary to shut down the virtual machine prior to performing the export. If you do not shut down the virtual machine, you will receive an error when you attempt to run the virtual machine on the new host.

The Limit Processor Functionality setting is used when hosting virtual machines running older operating systems like Windows NT 4.0.

Yesterday a flood damaged one of your organization's server rooms. This room hosted a Hyper-V failover cluster that now needs to be replaced. All of the virtual machines hosted on the cluster were backed up by being stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library. You want to deploy one of these virtual machines to a newly deployed Hyper-V host, but you are unable to do so.

Which of the following should you do to resolve this problem?

1. Disable the virtual machine.

2. Edit the properties of the virtual machine so that it is not highly available. <Correct>

3. Repair the virtual machine.

4. Edit the properties of the virtual machine to make it highly available.

Explanation:A virtual machine that was moved to a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library from a Hyper-V failover cluster is likely to be marked as highly available. This means that SCVMM 2008 cannot deploy the virtual machine to a Hyper-V host that is not highly available. If you edit the properties of the virtual machine, you will be able to change this setting, allowing it to be deployed on the new Hyper-V server.

Repair undoes the last action performed on the virtual machine and would not resolve the issue described in the question text.

Disabling the virtual machine would stop you from deploying it, not enable you to deploy it.

You are creating a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 Self-service User role for a group of students that are participating in a training course hosted by your organization. You want to ensure that no more than 30 virtual machines are created by the entire class.

Which of the following settings should must you configure and enable when creating the Self-service User role to enforce this limit? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. Share Quota Across User Role Members <Correct>

2. Pause And Resume

3. Remove

4. Checkpoint

5. Set Quota For Deployed Virtual Machines <Correct>

Explanation:To limit the total number of virtual machines that can be created by the class using the SCVMM 2008 self-service portal, you need to set and configure the Set Quota For Deployed Virtual Machines and Share Quota Across User Role Members settings. If you do not configure the Set Quota setting, no quota will be present.

If you do not configure the Share Quota setting, the quota will not be shared across the class.

Although the Pause And Resume, Checkpoint, and Remove permissions would be useful, they are not necessary in enforcing the limit on the number of virtual machines available to the class.

You intend to deploy virtual machines to a Hyper-V server using Windows Deployment Services (WDS). Each virtual machine will have two virtual network adapters: a synthetic adapter and a legacy network adapter.

Which of the following must you provide when pre-staging a client computer account in preparation for this deployment? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

1. MAC address of legacy virtual network adapter <Correct>

2. MAC address of synthetic virtual network adapter

3. Default gateway address

4. Computer name <Correct>

5. Virtual Machine IP address

Explanation:When pre-staging client computer accounts for deployment of operating systems using WDS, you need to provide the computer name and the MAC address of the network adapter that WDS will interface with. Because you can only install virtual machine operating systems over the network through a legacy virtual network adapter, this is the MAC address you must supply when pre-staging the client computer account.

You do not have to provide the network's default gateway address or the virtual machine IP address to pre-stage the client computer account for WDS.

Which of the following techniques allows you to create a clone of an inactive Hyper-V virtual machine while using a minimum of disk space?

1. Create a copy of the original hard disk VHD file. Attach this to a new virtual machine.

2. Create a differencing disk based off the original hard disk VHD file. Attach this to a new virtual machine.<Correct>

3. Create a copy of all the original virtual machine files. Open this as a new virtual machine.

4. Export the original virtual machine to a new location. Import the virtual machine.

Explanation:Differencing disks allow you to create a clone of an existing hard disk with a minimum use of disk space. You should only make differencing disks of inactive virtual machines because you can run into problems if alterations are made to the parent disk after the child disk has been created.

Copying the original VHD file or exporting the original virtual machine will require significantly more space than creating a differencing disk.

A virtual machine that will form the template for future deployments is stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library. There are currently some problems with the virtual machine and you are going on leave for a week. You want to ensure that no one can use it as the source for another virtual machine.

Which of the following actions should you perform on the virtual machine stored in the System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library?

1. Deploy

2. Remove

3. Disable <Correct>

4. Repair

Explanation:Disabling a virtual machine stored in a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library temporarily makes a virtual machine unavailable, which stops it from being deployed, repaired, or used as the source for another virtual machine.

Removing a virtual machine deletes its files from the library server.

Deploying the virtual machine deploys it to a Hyper-V host. Repairing a virtual machine returns it to the state it was in prior to the last action performed on it.

You have deployed a Hyper-V server on your organization's perimeter network. This Hyper-V server hosts several Windows Web Server 2008 virtual machines. For security reasons, you do not want to allow direct remote desktop access to each Windows Web Server 2008 virtual machine, but will instead gain console access by connecting to the Hyper-V server using remote desktop and then using Virtual Machine Connection from the Hyper-V console to interact with the virtual clients. The workstation that you will be making the connection from is running the Windows 7 operating system. When you first attempt to do this, you are unable to use the mouse to interact with the virtual clients though the mouse works on the Hyper-V parent partition.

Which of the following should you do to ensure that you can use the mouse to interact with the Windows Web Server 2008 virtual machines?

1. Install Integration Services on the Windows 7 client computer.

2. Configure a named pipe for COM1 on the Windows Web Server 2008 virtual machine.

3. Install Integration Services on the Windows Web Server 2008 virtual machines. <Correct>

4. Install Integration Services on the Hyper-V server.

5. Configure a named pipe for COM1 on the Windows Seven client computer.

Explanation:You cannot use a mouse to interact with a virtual machine when connected to the Hyper-V parent partition over remote desktop if Integration Services has not been installed on the virtual client.

You do not need to install integration services on the Hyper-V parent partition or the workstation from which you are making the remote desktop connection.

Named pipes allow direct communication with remote computers but will not allow mouse interaction.

You installed the Windows Server Backup feature prior to installing the Hyper-V role on a computer running Windows Server 2008.

Which of the following steps must you take to register the Microsoft Hyper-V VSS Writer with Windows Server Backup?

1. Edit the Windows Server 2008 registry. <Correct>

2. Install Windows Server Backup command-line tools.

3. Install Windows PowerShell.

4. Remove Windows Server Backup and then reinstall it.

Explanation:The Hyper-V role was released several months after the release of Windows Server 2008.

Windows Server Backup is not Hyper-V-aware, so it is necessary to register the Hyper-V VSS Writer with Windows Server Backup by editing the Windows Server 2008 registry.

What state will the virtual machine be in when the snapshot is applied?

1. Turned off

2. Saved <Correct>

3. Unavailable

4. Turned on

Explanation:When you apply a snapshot, the snapshot will be in the saved state if the virtual machine was running or in a saved state when you took the snapshot or in a turned off state if the virtual machine was in a turned off state when you took the snapshot.

You are reviewing the performance counters on a Windows Server 2008 virtual machine. The Memory \ Page Faults/Sec counter is generating average values of 100.

Which of the following should you do to resolve this problem?

1. Allocate more RAM to the virtual machine. <Correct>

2. Allocate an additional virtual network adapter to the virtual machine.

3. Increase the virtual machine reserve.

4. Allocate an additional virtual processor.

Explanation:On a computer that has adequate RAM, the memory \ page faults/sec counter registers figures below 10. When the counter registers figures above 10, the computer requires more RAM because data required for the virtual computer's operation is not found in memory.

You cannot reduce the number of page faults per second by adding additional processors or by adding an additional virtual network adapter to the virtual machine.

Increasing the virtual machine reserve will not reduce the number of page faults per second because this only increases CPU resources, not memory resources.

You are creating a System Center Virtual Machine Manager (SCVMM) 2008 Self-service User role for a group of users in your organization. These users need to be able to log on to newly created virtual machine with administrative credentials.

Which of the following virtual machine permissions should you assign to the Self-service User role?

1. Pause and Resume

2. Local Administrator <Correct>

3. Checkpoint

4. Remote Connection

Explanation:When you assign the Local Administrator virtual machine permission to an SCVMM 2008 role, you allow the user assigned that role the ability to set the local administrator password when creating a virtual machine. This gives that user administrative rights on the newly created virtual machine.

The Remote Connection right allows the virtual machine to be remotely controlled.

The Checkpoint permission allows SCVMM snapshots to be taken, removed, and applied.

The Pause and Resume permissions allow the virtual machine to be put in a saved state and then resumed.

1. The Heartbeat integration service has been disabled.

2. The Volume Shadow Copy Service on one virtual volume stores shadow copies on another virtual volume.<Correct>

3. The Time Synchronization integration service has been disabled.

4. The Volume Shadow Copy Service on each virtual volume stores shadow copy data on the same volume.

5. The Backup integration service has been disabled <Correct>

Explanation:The Backup integration services component must be enabled for an online backup to be performed.

The Volume Shadow Copy Service on each virtual machine volume must store shadow copy data on that volume for an online backup to be performed.

The Time Synchronization and Heartbeat integration services do not influence whether an online backup can be performed.

You have recently converted several Windows Server 2008 domain controllers from physical to virtual environments. You want to monitor how these virtualized domain controllers perform during peak logon periods over the course of a week.

Which of the following data collector sets on the virtual machines should you use?

1. Configuration data collector

2. Event Trace data collector

3. Performance counter alert

4. Performance Counter data collector <Correct>

Explanation:Performance Counter data collectors collect performance statistics over long periods of time for later analysis. You should use this type when collecting performance statistics over an extended period.

Configuration data collectors record configuration changes such as modifications to the registry.

Event Trace data collectors monitor system events.

Performance Counter alerts generate alerts when performance statistics meet a specific threshold value.

You are in the process of configuring a LUN to host virtual machine data on a Windows Server 2008 Hyper-V failover cluster.

Which of the following LUN types provides you with fault tolerant storage using a minimum of physical disks?

1. Simple

2. Mirrored <Correct>

3. Spanned

4. Striped

5. Striped with parity

Explanation:The mirrored LUN type provides redundancy with a minimum number of disks. Although the striped with parity LUN type provides redundancy and performance benefits, it requires more physical disks than the mirrored LUN type.

The simple, spanned, and striped LUN types do not offer any redundancy. If a disk is lost in a simple, spanned, or striped LUN, all data stored on the volume associated with the LUN is lost.

You want to apply updates to an ISO file stored on a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library server. During this time you want to stop the ISO file being used in new virtual machines, guest operating system profiles or virtual machine templates.

Which of the following should you do when the ISO file is selected in the library within the System Virtual Machine Manager console to accomplish this goal?

1. Remove the file.

2. Export the file.

3. Disable the file. <Correct>

4. Import the file.

Explanation:You should disable a resource within a System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008 library if you want to temporarily stop it from being used in new virtual machines, guest operating system profiles or virtual machine templates.

You should remove the file if you want to delete it.

You cannot use import and export to temporarily stop a resource from being used.

You are in the process of acquiring and configuring hardware for a two-node Hyper-V failover cluster. The cluster will use the node and disk majority quorum model.

What is the minimum number of LUNs required to support this configuration?

1. Three

2. Four

3. One

4. Two <Correct>

Explanation:Two LUNs are required. One LUN is devoted to hosting the shared storage that will host the virtual machine files. The second LUN will host the cluster witness disk.

You cannot configure a Hyper-V failover cluster that uses the Node and Disk Majority quorum model using only a single LUN. A minimum of two LUNs is required.
