You have a server named Server1 that runs Windows Server 2012 R2.Server1 has the
Hyper-V server role installed.
An iSCSI SAN is available on the network.
Server1 hosts four virtual machines named VM1, VM2, VM3, and VM4.
You create a LUN on the SAN to host the virtual hard drive files for the virtual machines.
You need to create a 3-TB virtual hard disk for VM1 on the LUN. The solution must prevent
VM1 from being paused if the LUN runs out of disk space.
Which type of virtual hard disk should you create on the LUN?
A.
Dynamically expanding VHDX
B.
Fixed-size VHDX
C.
Fixed-size VHD
D.
Dynamically expanding VHD
why fixed ?

This answer has been bothering me for sometime.I want to know if you allocate a fixed size and it run out of space ( as I understand it, this is the key point of the question)what will happen to the virtual hard disk?
0
0
nothing, because its already allocated.
Once you allocate space you can’t re-use it.

what is LUN

Logical Unit Number, it is a term used to allocate space from a storage device (typically a SAN) to one or more hosts. A bit like mapping a network share. You can assign security policies to the LUN also.

I think that the correct answer is A – Dynamically expanding VHDX. For 3-TB virtual hard disk we must to use vhdx. And for prevent virtual machine from being paused, to my mind, dynamically expanding vhdx will be the best choice.

Types of virtual hard disk files
There are three types of VHD files. The following sections are the performance characteristics and trade-offs between the types.
The following recommendations should be taken into consideration with regards to selecting a VHD file type:
When using the VHD format, we recommend that you use the fixed type because it has better resiliency and performance characteristics compared to the other VHD file types.
When using the VHDX format, we recommend that you use the dynamic type because it offers resiliency guarantees in addition to space savings that are associated with allocating space only when there is a need to do so.
The fixed type is also recommended, irrespective of the format, when the storage on the hosting volume is not actively monitored to ensure that sufficient disk space is present when expanding the VHD file at run time.

Fixed VHDX
the question states clearly that:
1. 3T of storage
2. The solution must prevent VM1 from being paused if the LUN runs out of disk space
..
from the above, you can find the following:
1. VHDX .. as the storage is more than 2T
2. Fixed size .. because of two reasons .. one, you have to make sure that you have 3T of storage even if the LUN runs out of space .. two, if you create a dynamic storage and the LUN runs out of storage, you will not be able to use the storage

You are correct! VHDX because > 3TB AND Fixed because all VHD(X) files are placed on 1 LUN. No delay because already allocated AND full 3TB because no other VHD(X) file can expand or overwrite the allocated space on the LUN.
0
0
What if we create a LUN for 3TB space, give that number to VHDX and then make it dynamic VHDX because as stated above VHDX in dynamic state provides more resiliency!
Any suggestions.

Must be VHDX as VHD only supports 2TB. Fixed as dynamically expanding will pause if there is not enough space to expand therefore provisioning it beforehand eliminates this risk.

This isnt a comment directed at the question, wasnt sure where to post it.
With the help of these questions I just passed this exam with 831/1000. Just thought I would post a thanks for the creator of this site/page

and also if the storage more than 2 TB, should use VHDX

So what happens to VM1 if the fixed sized VHDX runs out of disk space vs a thin provisioned disk? The question is rhetorical. While a paused VM will obviously not be running, a VM that just hit it’s disk allocation wall won’t be far behind. Either way as a system admin you are left scrambling.
I understand the question but hate the myopic context MS places into their exams.
If your VM fills up the 3TB fat provisioned disk you’re just as in much as a world of hurt.
I play the ‘game’ to get the cert and the use my brain to implement properly.

Fixed disk grabs the disk space instead of expanding later as needed which could cause the VM to be paused if the LUN is out of disk space at the time of needing to be expanded. http://www.aidanfinn.com/?p=13230

If the space is allocated with the 3TB vhdx, and the LUN runs out of space VM1 will not be paused because it does not expect anymore space. It is already allocated.
0

correct.
Use a fixed VHDX to prevent this VM from stopping, if the LUN space runs out, e.g. due to dynamic expanding VHDX on VM2, 3 or 4. If your disk space inside the VHDX runs out, well then you have an other issue, you should solve ;P

I think where people are getting confused here (and it happened to me at first) is that they think it’s talking about if the 3TB allocation runs out in either Fixed or Dynamically expanding.
The LUN is like the storage pool on a server. You can have as many virtual hard drives as you want if you assign them all to dynamically expanding. This is not true if you set fixed size disks.
So, if a LUN has 10TB space, for example, and you assign a VHDX 3TB dynamically expanding… the actual file size of the VHDX will equal the actual used space size. So if only 1.5 TB is used, the VHDX will only be 1.5TB. If you have eight other disks that are using 1TB each, then on the LUN 9.5TB is being used. If the original VHDX uses up the last .5TB (total of 2TB out of 3TB), then it’ll shut down because the 10TB on the LUN has been used up.
To prevent this, you set the VHDX to fixed size of 3TB so it is allocated (or in other words, reserved) for that VHDX regardless of actual used space, an no other VHD/VHDX can use any of the 3TB space. That way, it will not shut down if the LUN runs out of space, as long as there is enough space on the VHDX to continue running.
To further clarify things, regardless of whether it is fixed or dynamic, if you set a VHDX to 3TB, it will stop working once that 3TB is maxed out.

VMware Certified Advanced Professional 6 (Desktop and Mobility Deployment) – The industry-recognized VCAP6-DTM Deploy certification validates that you know how to deploy and optimize VMware Horizon 6 (with View) environments. It proves that you have the understanding and expertise vital to leverage best practices to provide a scalable and dependable Business Mobility platform for your business. Some of the subjects involve: Configuring and managing Horizon View components, configuring cloud pod archituecture, configuring Group Policy settings related to Horizon View, Configuring and optimizing desktop images for Horizon View & Mirage, Configuring and managing App Volumes AppStacks, Configuring desktop pools, Configuring and deploying ThinApp packaged applications, Configuring VMWare Identity Manager, etc.Sebastian’s take on the VCAP6 examination: “In my point of view VCAP6 examination is way better experience compared to VCAP5, the newest examination appears to be exactly like VMware HOL. The interface is not difficult, questions are organized on the right section of the screen, and can be concealed aside or even restored when wanted. My bits of advice to the questions windowpane: if you choose to make it floating, you must know how to restore it back. I ended up moving it around simply because I forget how to recover it back. The 2 arrows that appeared to be control buttons on top were used to dock the window to left or right. Fonts can be resized, which from my opinion was superior to scrolling up and down the question. The reaction speed of the entire user interface was so considerably faster in comparison with VCAP5.5, and there wasn’t any lagging time period experienced when changing from window to window. Something to bear in mind: BACKSPACE key is not working! I think this is good as you don’t reload your exam window by mistake, but, it could be irritating occasionally whenever you type some thing erroneously and you have to select and press Del to remove. The Desktop and shortcuts were structured very nicely, and required programs like browser or Mirage console can be easily launched. There’s a pleasant interface for Remote Desktop Manager and you’ll discover all essential RDP connection to servers or desktops without having to type username and password. The web browser had all the links in the Favorite Bar. Right at that moment I am penning this, there is no extra Thirty minute extension for Non-Native English speaker at No-Native English country, which is a bummer. There are actually thirty-nine question to fill out within the three hours period, and this can be actually really hard for non-native English speakers just like me. Some questions take time to finish, so it is wise to omit the questions that you can’t answer, and finish those you can. After the 39 questions, you’ll be able to revisit the uncompleted questions in case you have time. Don’t waste a long time on one single question! The exam blue print can be obtained on my blog at Szumigalski.com. It is well-organized and following it for the examination preparation will be helpful to a great deal. Certainly, the most suitable is if you could have lots of hands on experience! I’m truly pretty pleased with the exam experience, although I passed this time by tiny margin, but I know very well what I missed for the exam, discover from the mistakes and practice harder to familiarise myself with the environment. This qualification certainly will open up your career prospects!”
