Exam 70-740 topic 1 question 210 discussion

Actual exam question from Microsoft's 70-740

Question #: 210
Topic #: 1

You have a Windows Server 2106 failover cluster named Cluster1 that contains four nodes named Server1, Server2, Server3, and Server4. Cluster1 hosts 40 virtual machines that are distributed evenly across the nodes.
Server1 and Server2 are located in a data center in Madrid. Server3 and Server4 are located in a data center in Barcelona.
You need to ensure that when you pause a node, the clustered virtual machines will always attempt to move automatically to another node in the same data center before attempting to move to a node in the other data center.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution.

A. Run the New-ClusterFaultDomain cmdlet.
B. Run the Add-ClusterGroup cmdlet.
C. Configure a file share witness for each data center.
D. Run the Set-ClusterFaultDomain cmdlet.
E. Create an Active Directory site for each data center.
F. Change the quorum configuration of the cluster to Node Majority.

I would go for A and D - this is about cluster fault domains - https://argonsys.com/microsoft-cloud/library/site-aware-failover-clusters-in-windows-server-2016/

I agree with Dave_Holden and mazintaha. Howerver, I can't find a link for steps A and D after B and C.

At first before creating fault domain by New-ClusterFaultDomain, it's needed to create failover cluster. (*1) (*1) https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/module/failoverclusters/new-clusterfaultdomain?view=win10-ps Next before using Set-ClusterFaultDomain, a node could be included in fault domain should be existing.

the Question state "the clustered virtual machines will always attempt to move (AUTOMATICALLY) to another node in the same data center" the "New-ClusterFaultDomain" command and its -Location- parameter is -according to my understanding- merely a "string", which can help when the fail error is showed, but that is about it, there is no automatic part about it. and that goes for answer D too "Run the Set-ClusterFaultDomain cmdlet" Also the question state "Each correct answer presents (PART) of the solution", A and D are not two different steps in a process. B and C are the correct answers from my view point ..

This is about the VMs, not about the storage or CSV. Answers A and D are for setting failover of a CSV. The correct answer here is B and C. This is about the VMs and configuring quorum and site awareness.

A and D are correct steps, but they are steps to be made after B and C

So for further detail. B and C have to be done first in order to create groups for the Nodes that will include the VMs and ensure that quorum is working. Failover clustering must be working and configured before site aware fault domains can work. It's built on top of failover clustering. Nodes must be setup and configured before you get to setting up and configuring Chassis, racks or sites, because of the parent child relationships that will be configured later on in setting up fault domains. We need the Nodes defined via add-clustergroup first. See the link below under Heading Configuring Fault Domains:

https://www.altaro.com/hyper-v/site-aware-clusters-fault-domains-windows-server-2019/ "Once you have defined the different fault domains, you can configure their hierarchical structure using a parent (and child) relationship. Starting with the node, you define which chassis they belong to and then move up the chain. For example, you may configure nodes N1 and N2 to be part of chassis C1 using PowerShell:" See, where did these N1 and N2 come from all of a sudden???? Ohhhh from when we setup our failover clustering correctly FIRST.....
