Yournetwork contains three servers named HV1, HV2, and Server1 that run Windows Server 2012
R2. HV1 and HV2 have the Hyper-V server role installed. Server1 is a file server that contains 3 TB of
free disk space.
HV1 hosts a virtual machine named VM1. The virtual machine configuration file for VM1 is stored in
D:\VM and the virtual hard disk file is stored in E:\VHD.
Youplan to replace drive E with a larger volume.
Youneed to ensure that VM1 remains available from HV1 while drive E is being replaced. Youwant
to achieve this goal by using the minimum amount of administrative effort.
What should you do?
A.
Perform a live migration to HV2.
B.
Add HV1 and HV2 as nodes in a failover cluster.Perform a storage migration to HV2.
C.
Add HV1 and HV2 as nodes in a failover cluster.Perform a live migration to HV2.
D.
Perform a storage migration to Server1.
Explanation:
One of the great new features coming in Windows Server 2012 is Storage Migration for Hyper-V.
Storage Migration allows an administrator to relocate the source files that make up a virtual
machine to another location without any downtime.
Storage Migration creates a copy of the file or files at the new location. Once that is finished, Server
2012 does a final replication of changes and then the virtual machine uses the files in the new
location. Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V – Part 3: Storage Migration

WRONG. It’s B, how can you storage migrate to Server1 if it doesn’t have Hyper-V lol?
Next least administrative effort available is cluster with HV1 and HV2. Then Storage Migration because VM1 needs to remain available on HV1, so then only its storage is being moved but it’s still run from HV1.

Also it wouldn’t be Live Migration to HV2 as VM1 needs to be running from HV1 still.

It’s D because you can perform a Storage Migration (uninterrupted) from the old storage location (HV1 E:) to another location (Server1). A virtual machine (vhd/vhdx) does not need to be stored on a server containing Hyper-V/Vmware. That software simply manage the VM configuration (as stated in the question) which do actually have to be stored on a Hyper-V server.

I’m tired about those guys…..

Good job!
D is correct.
Live migration —this type of migration moves a virtual machine running as part of a failover cluster from one cluster to another with no noticeable downtime for users or network applications. Live migration requires two or more servers that run Hyper-V, that support hardware virtualization, and use processors from the same manufacturer, such as all AMD processors or all Intel processors, for example.
Storage Migration – In Windows Server 2012, you can leave the VM running and let the system move the files and perform configuration changes without taking the VM out offline..! Think how useful this will be for scenarios such as a volume that is either running out of space, or is over utilized. Provided that you have another volume that has spare capacity, you can move your VMs files on-the-fly to load balance or optimize capacity utilization.

D is correct for sure
Actually, the answer is very easy even if you didn’t know how does Storage Migration works?
it is so clear as the question mentioned server1 as a file server which has no job in question scenario unless it is used in the answer 🙂
