You have three VMs that must communicate with one another and with the host computer but not be able to access the physical network directly. What type of virtual network should you create?

Internal

You would like to utilize HYPER-V to emulate a Linux desktop and a FreeBSD server for testing purposes in a computer lab. You do not wish to use any special configurations, and you do not need these VMs to be optimized for performance. You have also decided that you do not want to utilize any additional services when creating these test VMs. What type of drivers will you use for these virtual machines?

Emulated devices drivers

You currently have four VMs running on a Hyper-V server. You find that VM2 sometimes monopolizes disk I/O. You want to limit the amount of disk resources that VM2 can use so the other VMs have satisfactory disk performance. What should you do?

Enable storage QoS on VM2's virtual hard disk

A virtual switch with the host's physical NIC bound to the Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch protocol is called which of the following?

External virtual switch

You're installing a new VM in Hyper-V that requires excellent disk performance for the installed applications to perform well. The applications require a virtual disk of about 200 GB. The host has two drives: one used as the Windows system drive and the other as a data drive of 500 GB. It's currently running a VM that uses a virtual disk stored on the host's data drive. This VM requires little disk access, uses only 20 GB of the host's data drive, and will max out at 40 GB. What type of disk should you use for the new VM you're installing?

Fixed size disk

You have just created a vNIC using PowerShell and assigned your vNIC a specific name. You have enabled the Device naming option in the advanced features dialog box when configuring the vNIC. What PowerShell cmdlet will allow you to view the virtual adapter's descriptive name in the guest OS?

Get-NetAdapterAdvancedProperty

You would like to utilize a VM to access Fibre Channel storage utilizing a Fibre Channel adapter directly from a VM. Which of the following components must be installed on the VM's host computer before you can add a virtual Fibre Channel SAN? (Choose all that Apply.)

Host bus adapter Drivers

Which of the following load-balancing modes available in HYPER-V allows each virtual NIC to be associated with only one team member at system startup?

Hyper-V Port

When you create a new VM in Hyper-V, you need at least one virtual network interface card (vNIC) on the VM. When you configure a vNIC, you can choose to have it configured for a specific VLAN. If you choose to enable VLAN identification, which of the following options must you configure?

ID number

You have just installed a VM named VM5 running an application that requires the best possible network performance when communicating with resources on the physical LAN. The host has four NICs. One NIC is dedicated to the host computer, and the other two are bound to two virtual switches used by four other VMs on the system. One of the NICs is currently unused. What network configuration should you use that wouldn't disturb the current VM's network configuration?

In Virtual Switch Manager, bind the unused NIC to an external virtual switch and enable SR-IOV. Connect VM5's virtual network adapter to that virtual switch and enable SR-IOV on the virtual network adapter.

You have created a VM and installed Windows Server 2008 R2 over the network, using PXE boot. When you start the VM, it doesn't attempt to boot from the network. What should you do?

Install a legacy virtual network adapter

Which of the following vNIC configuration options will allow the VM to change the source MAC address on outgoing packets and allow the virtual switch to learn addresses other than the one assigned to the virtual adapter?

MAC address spoofing

What virtual disk option can be selected to allow a differencing disk's contents to be incorporated into its parent disk or combine the differencing disk with the parent disk to create a new disk while allowing the original disk to be unchanged?

Merge

A VM network adapter must have a unique MAC address on the network. You have decided that you need to expand the current MAC address pool that is available to a VM. However, you have more than one Hyper-V server on the network and are connecting VMs to an external network. What negative situation should you be aware of when you are expanding the current MAC address pool?

Overlapping the MAC address range with another server's range

A system administrator needs to create a high-performance SQL server. What type of disk configuration will allow the administrator to connect an offline physical disk that is connected to the host machine to a VM to maximize a VM's performance?

Pass-through disk

You have five VMs that you have created for using in a testing environment. You need to isolate all five VMs so that they cannot communicate with the host computer and any other host on a different network. What type of virtual switch should you create?

Private

Your Hyper-V server has a single disk of 300 GB being used as the system disk and to host a dynamically expanding disk for a Windows Server 2012 VM. The VM's virtual disk has a maximum size of 200 GB and is currently 80 GB and growing. You have only about 30 GB free space on the host disk. You have noticed disk contention with the host OS, and the constant need for the virtual disk to expand is causing performance problems. You also have plans to install at least one more VM. You have installed a new 500 GB hard disk on the host and want to make sure that the VM doesn't contend for the host's system disk, and the expansion process doesn't hamper disk performance. What should you do?

Shut down the VM. Convert the dynamically expanding disk to a fixed-size disk, being sure to place the fixed-size disk on the new host drive. Connect the VM to the fixed-size disk in place of the dynamically expanding disk. Delete the old virtual disk.

As a system administrator, you have been assigned the task of setting up a new server cluster where the virtual machine storage will be shared. You will need the ability to specify the minimum and maximum performance values for the virtual hard disks. Which of the following features available on Windows Server 2016 can be utilized to accomplish this task?

Storage Quality of Service

Which of the following is a new feature in Windows Server 2016 that allows up to eight identical physical adapters on the host system to be configured as a team and mapped to a virtual switch?

Switch Embedded Teaming

You currently have four VMs running on a Hyper-V server. You would like to utilize NIC teaming. Which of the following NIC teaming modes can be utilized with your virtual machines?

Switch Independent

Which of the following is true about using differencing disks?

The parent disk must not be changed.

Which of the following virtual disk formats is a shared virtual hard disk used with virtual machine cluster configurations when multiple VMs have access to the same virtual hard disk for fault tolerance and load-balancing applications?

VHD set

You're working with a Windows Server 2016 VM in Hyper-V. You have decided that you are going to accelerate the vNIC's performance by delivering packets from the external network directly to the vNIC. What virtual NIC feature would you enable?
