NOTE: Once you answer this question, you will NOT be able to return to it. You manage a Hyper-V
2012 cluster by using System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2012 SP1. You need to ensure high
availability for business-critical virtual machines (VMs) that host business-critical SQL Server
databases.
Solution: You configure preferred and possible owners for each business-critical VM.
Does this meet the goal?
A.
Yes
B.
No
Should this be Yes?

If you look at the section on Preferred and Possible owner nodes there is a note that says “Preferred and possible owner nodes are configurable only for existing highly available VMs running on a Hyper-V cluster”

I don’t think you have to set this to make them highly available. They will still restart on another node in the cluster without setting it? So I would say the answer is ‘no’.

Maybe that’s helping.
