You have five servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2. The servers have the Failover Clustering feature
installed.
You deploy a new cluster named Cluster1. Cluster1 is configured as shown in the following table.
Server1, Server2/ and Server3 are configured as thepreferred owners of the cluster roles.
Dynamic quorum management is disabled.
You plan to perform hardware maintenance on Server3.
You need to ensure that if the WAN link between Site1 and Site2 fails while you are performing maintenance on
Server3, the cluster resource will remain availablein Site1.
What should you do?
A.
Remove the node vote for Server3.
B.
Enable DrainOnShutdown on Cluster1.
C.
Add a file share witness in Site1.
D.
Remove the node vote for Server4 and Server5.
C.
create a fsw while server 3 is in maintenance.

The correct answer is D. Remove the node vote for Server4 and Server5.
Because suppose you add a file share witness in Site1 and during the maintenance the file share witness and either Server1 or Server2 failed at the same time then the clients at Site2 will start accessing Server4 and Server5 which is contrary to the question requirements.
You need to keep the clients in both sites accessing cluster resource in Site1 and if the WAN link failed then any client should not access cluster resources in Site2 because cluster resources in Site1 are the preferred owners.

It is D.
Reference: WSFC Quorum Modes and Voting Configuration
In general, don’t give votes to nodes that reside in a secundary disaster recovery site. You do not want nodes in this secundary site to contribute to a decision to take the cluster offfline when there is nothing wrong with the primary site.
