You have five servers that run Windows Server 2012 R2.
The servers have the Failover Clustering feature installed.
You deploy a new cluster named Cluster1.
Cluster1 is configured as shown in the following table.
Server1, Server2, and Server3 are configured as the preferred owners of the cluster roles.
Dynamic quorum management is disabled.
You plan to perform hardware maintenance on Server3.
You need to ensure that if the WAN link between Site1 and Site2 fails while you are performing
maintenance on Servers, the cluster resource will remain available in Site1.
What should you do?
A.
Add a file share witness in Site1.
B.
Enable DrainOnShutdown on Cluster1.
C.
Remove the node vote for Server4 and Server5.
D.
Remove the node vote for Server3.
Explanation:
C is the answer.
Though “A” would seem to work, it does not provide with a reasonable solution to this question.
In this case, it is outside the scope of the problem.
To minimize administrative effort, “C” is the best answer to this question.
You might want to remove votes from nodes in certain disaster recovery configurations. For example, in a multisite cluster, you could remove votes from the nodes in a backup site so that those nodes do not affect quorum calculations.
