A company has one Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS) forest that contains two domains. All servers
run Windows Server 2012 R2. The company uses iSCSI storage and Fibre Channel storage.
You plan to deploy a single Hyper-V failover cluster that uses Cluster Shared Volumes (CSV). The cluster must
include virtual machines from both domains.
You need to ensure that you can deploy a failover cluster.
What should you do?
A.
Join each Hyper-V host server to the same AD DS domain.
B.
Deploy clustered storage spaces.
C.
Deploy Serial Attached SCSI (SAS).
D.
Join each Hyper-V host server to different AD DS domains.
Answer is A
Create a Failover Cluster
Before you begin, verify the following prerequisites:
Make sure that all servers that you want to add as cluster nodes are running the same version of Windows Server.
Review the hardware requirements to make sure that your configuration is supported. For more information, see Failover Clustering Hardware Requirements and Storage Options.
If you want to add clustered storage during cluster creation, make sure that all servers can access the storage. (You can also add clustered storage after you create the cluster.)
Make sure that all servers that you want to add as cluster nodes are joined to the same Active Directory domain.
(Optional) Create an organizational unit (OU) and move the computer accounts for the servers that you want to add as cluster nodes into the OU. As a best practice, we recommend that you place failover clusters in their own OU in AD DS. This can help you better control which Group Policy settings or security template settings affect the cluster nodes. By isolating clusters in their own OU, it also helps prevent against accidental deletion of cluster computer objects.

Note
In Windows Server 2012 R2 you can also deploy an Active Directory-detached cluster. This deployment method enables you to create a failover cluster without permissions to create computer objects in AD DS or the need to request that computer objects are prestaged in AD DS. This option is only available through Windows PowerShell, and is only recommended for specific scenarios. For more information, see Deploy an Active Directory-Detached Cluster.

The only thing you still need is CSV that is based on clustered storage spaces.

So I think it’s Answer B

From the 2nd link you provided:
“Storage Spaces does not support iSCSI and Fibre Channel controllers.”
That makes “B” invalid.
I think it’s A.

The answer is A.
You cannot attach a C.S.V. without the C part which stands for Cluster. A requirement for a cluster is that all members are in the same domain. Active Directory Detached Cluster does not relieve you of the requirement to have active directory – only the pre-staging the computer names.
In this case you would have Domain A that has all of the Hosts in a cluster. Then you would run a second domain of VM’s who have their VHD’s stored on the CSV. You could also have VHD’s from Domain A stored on the CSV.
Storage Spaces does not support iSCSI and Fibre Channel controllers.
