Exam 70-412 topic 3 question 92 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-412

Question #: 92
Topic #: 3

Your network contains an Active Directory domain named contoso.com. The domain contains two member servers named Server1 and Server2. All servers run
Windows Server 2012 R2.
Server1 and Server2 have the Failover Clustering feature installed. The servers are configured as nodes in a failover cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 has access to four physical disks. The disks are configured as shown in the following table.

You need to ensure that all of the disks can be added to a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV). Which two actions should you perform? (Each correct answer presents part of the solution. Choose two.)

A. Format Disk2 to use NTFS.
B. Format Disk3 to use NTFS.
C. Enable BitLocker on Disk4.
D. Disable BitLocker on Disk1.

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: AD 🗳️
A. In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume must be a basic disk that is partitioned with NTFS or ReFS, but you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT or FAT32.
D. CSV supports bitlocker, but you would have to enable it on all nodes in the cluster. Therefore we need to disable bitlocker on Disk1.
Incorrect:
Not B. ReFS would work fine. In Windows Server 2012 R2, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume must be a basic disk that is partitioned with NTFS or ReFS.
Not C. Bitlocker must be enabled on all disks for it to work for a CSV.

BE AWARE: If the question had stipulated Server 2012 and NOT Server 2012 R2, ReFS would not be supported on the Cluster Shared Volume. ReFS is ONLY supported for the CSV on Server 2012 R2 or higher. It's right in the previously-referenced doc. ( https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj612868.aspx )
