You need to ensure that the VHD files of the virtual machines can be stored on the SAN

Your network contains multiple servers that run Windows Server 2012.
The network contains a Storage Area Network (SAN) that only supports Fibre Channel connections.
You have two failover clusters. The failover clusters are configured as shown in the following table.

Only the members of Cluster1 can connect to the SAN.
You plan to implement 15 highly available virtual machines on Cluster2. All of the virtual
machines will be stored in a single shared folder.
You need to ensure that the VHD files of the virtual machines can be stored on the SAN.

A.
From a node in Cluster2, create a Virtual Fibre Channel SAN.

B.
From a node in Cluster1, create a Virtual Fibre Channel SAN.

C.
From Cluster1, add the iSCSI Target Server cluster role.

D.
From Cluster1, configure the clustered File Server role of the File Server for scale-out
application data type.

Explanation:
* After the virtual machines are connected to the storage system using the virtual Fibre
Channel components shared storage can be used by each VM, which enables Hyper-V
guest clustering. Before the virtual Fibre
Channel features were available, Hyper-V guest machines were limited to iSCSI connections
to enable shared storage for guest clustering.
* A new feature in Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V is the ability to create a virtual Fibre
Channel SAN. Each guest VM created on Windows Server 2012 includes a new option Add
hardware Fibre Channel cards, which can be attributed to World Wide node names(WWNN)
and select the virtual combine Virtual SAN Fibre Channel adapters.

  1. Emo says:

    Here Cluster1 is already connected to SAN via physical FC adapters – it consist two physical servers (not virtual) and in this case answer C and D seems logical.

    it might be B, C and D

    B – Gives the fileservers access to the SAN through Fibre Channel
    D – creates storage on the SAN (Through the fibre channel switch)
    C – Exposes the storage on the SAN through ISCSI

    Only thing is you dont create the Fibre channel SAN on a Cluster Node, but on Hyper-V. so assumming the answers here are 100% correct, then I would choose C and D.
    you add a Fibre Channel Adapter on a virtual machine, and connect it to the Virtual Fibre Channel Switch

    Answer seems correct C & D

    In scenario it tells us that Only the members of Cluster1 can connect to the SAN.
    If I understand this correctly, that implies that they have HBAs installed already so no need for B
