Question
You have three on-premises servers named SVR1, SVR2, and SVR3 that run Windows Server. SRV1 has a direct-attached storage (DAS) array.
You plan to deploy a failover cluster named Cluster1 by using SVR2 and SVR3.
You need to ensure that the DAS array on SRV1 can be used as shared storage for Cluster1. The solution must ensure that Cluster1 has block-level access to the storage.
What should you do first on SRV1?
- A. Run the start-service -name msiscsi cmdlet.
- B. Install the iSCSI Target Server role service. Correct
- C. Install the File Server role service.
- D. Run the Enable-ClusterStorageSpacesDirect cmdlet.
Explanation
To use the DAS array on SRV1 as shared storage for Cluster1 with block-level access, you must first install the iSCSI Target Server role service on SRV1. This allows SRV1 to act as an iSCSI target, making its local storage accessible to other servers in the cluster over the network.
