cluster has the following requirements:
• It must span multiple sites.
• It must support dynamic quorums.
• It must prevent failures caused by a 50% split.
App2
Contoso must create a new application named App2. To support App2, Contoso must deploy
a new SQL Server cluster. The cluster must not be part of the domain.
The server deployment team that will install the cluster has limited permissions. The server
deployment team does not have the ability to create objects in Active Directory.
Virtualization and Storage
New VMs
Any new VMs that are deployed to the Hyper-V cluster in Cluster3.contoso.com have the
following requirements:
• New SQL Server VMs must be deployed only to odd-numbered
servers in the cluster.
• All other new VM guests must be deployed to any available server in
the cluster.
New VDE
The company needs a highly available file share cluster for a new Virtual Desktop
Environment (VDE). It has the following requirements:
• The file share cluster must withstand the loss of a single server.

• The file share cluster must withstand the loss of a single network path.
• The file share cluster must use the least amount of disk space.
New virtualized SQL Server cluster
Contoso must create a new application for manufacturing. The company needs a new
virtualized SQL Server cluster named VM-SQLclusterl.contoso.com. It has the following
requirements:
• The cluster must use a shared virtual hard disk.
• The cluster must have two nodes named VM-SQLNODE1.contoso.com and VM-SQL-NODE2.contoso.com.
Highly available storage solution
The company is deploying new hardware that will replace the existing Hyper-V clusters. The
new file share cluster must have a highly available storage solution for a Hyper-V
environment. It has the following requirements:
• The new file share cluster must support guest VM clusters.
• The storage cannot reside on any of the physical Hyper-V hosts.

Business Requirements
Apps
Contoso plans to deploy new applications to make its departments more efficient.
App1
Contoso must create a new application named App1 for the human resources (HR)
department. The infrastructure for App1 must reside in a virtual environment and the data
files for App1 must reside on a single shared disk. In addition, the infrastructure for App1
must meet the following requirements:
• maximize data protection
• withstand the loss of a single guest virtual machine
• withstand the loss of a single physical server
To support App1, Contoso must deploy a new cluster named Applcluster.contoso.com. The
cluster has the following requirements:
• It must span multiple sites.
• It must support dynamic quorums.
• It must prevent failures caused by a 50% split.
App2
Contoso must create a new application named App2. To support App2, Contoso must deploy
a new SQL Server cluster. The cluster must not be part of the domain.
The server deployment team that will install the cluster has limited permissions. The server
deployment team does not have the ability to create objects in Active Directory.
Virtualization and Storage
New VMs
Any new VMs that are deployed to the Hyper-V cluster in Cluster3.contoso.com have the
following requirements:
• New SQL Server VMs must be deployed only to odd-numbered
servers in the cluster.
• All other new VM guests must be deployed to any available server in
the cluster.
New VDE
The company needs a highly available file share cluster for a new Virtual Desktop
Environment (VDE). It has the following requirements:
• The file share cluster must withstand the loss of a single server.

• The file share cluster must withstand the loss of a single network path.
• The file share cluster must use the least amount of disk space.
New virtualized SQL Server cluster
Contoso must create a new application for manufacturing. The company needs a new
virtualized SQL Server cluster named VM-SQLclusterl.contoso.com. It has the following
requirements:
• The cluster must use a shared virtual hard disk.
• The cluster must have two nodes named VM-SQLNODE1.contoso.com and VM-SQL-NODE2.contoso.com.

new file share cluster must have a highly available storage solution for a Hyper-V
environment. It has the following requirements:
• The new file share cluster must support guest VM clusters.
• The storage cannot reside on any of the physical Hyper-V hosts.
###EndCaseStudy###

You need to enable virtual machine network health detection on all supported clusters.
What should you do?

Your network contains two servers named Server1 and Server2 that run Windows Server 2012.
Server1 and Server2 have the Hyper-V server role installed and are part of a host group named
Group1 in Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM).
Server1 and Server2 have identical hardware, software, and settings.
You configure VMM to migrate virtual machines if the CPU utilization on a host exceeds 65 percent.
The current load on the servers is shown following table.

You start a new virtual machine on Server2 named VM8. VM8 has a CPU utilization of 20 percent.

You discover that none of the virtual machines hosted on Server2 are migrated to Server1.
You need to ensure that the virtual machines hosted on Server2 are migrated to Server1.
What should you modify from the Dynamic Optimization configuration?
