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.
Explanation:
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.Use Cluster Shared Volumes in a Failover Cluster

“To use CSV, your storage and disks must meet the following requirements:
File system format. 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. In Windows Server 2012, a disk or storage space for a CSV volume must be a basic disk that is partitioned with NTFS.
A CSV has the following additional requirements:
In Windows Server 2012 R2, you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT or FAT32.
In Windows Server 2012, you cannot use a disk for a CSV that is formatted with FAT, FAT32, or ReFS.
If you want to use a storage space for a CSV, you can configure a simple space or a mirror space. In Windows Server 2012 R2, you can also configure a parity space. (In Windows Server 2012, CSV does not support parity spaces.)
A CSV cannot be used as a quorum witness disk. For more information about the cluster quorum, see Configure and Manage the Quorum in a Windows Server 2012 Failover Cluster.
After you add a disk as a CSV, it is designated in the CSVFS format (for CSV File System). This allows the cluster and other software to differentiate the CSV storage from other NTFS or ReFS storage. Generally, CSVFS supports the same functionality as NTFS or ReFS. However, certain features are not supported. For example, in Windows Server 2012 R2, you cannot enable compression on CSV. In Windows Server 2012, you cannot enable data deduplication or compression on CSV.”

C for sure & B. disks have to be fully decrypted first. Once CSV is created, then put the bitlocker on to encrypted the disk.
