Q

What is a downside using CredSSP authentication protocol when performing Hyper-V migrations?

Q

What the dependencies for SoFS?

Cluster Shared Volumes
Failover Clustering

17
Q

What is the PoSH command to create fault domains?

A

New-ClusterFaultDomain

18
Q

What are the features that combat transient failures in a stretch cluster

A

Unmonitored state - Not being monitored by cssv service
Isolated state - No longer active member but still hosts roles
Quarantined state - No longer aloud to join cluster for period of time if leaves cluster

19
Q

What is storage spaces direct (S2D)?

A

Locally attached software defined storage, alternative to expensive SAN & NAS

Uses Software Storage Bus to allow all nodes to see local storage

20
Q

What are the types of cluster storage for storage spaces direct (S2D)?

A

Converged Cluster

Hyper-Converged Cluster

21
Q

What is the difference between Converged (Disaggregated) and Hyper-Converged cluster?

A

Converged: Dedicated SoFS/SMB/CSV, requires two separate clusters
Hyper-Converged: Uses local cluster, cannot scale

22
Q

What is the maximum number of hosts you can have in an NLB cluster?

A

32

23
Q

What are the different NLB cluster operation modes?

A

Unicast - 2NIC minimum
Multicast - 1 NIC
IGMP Multicast - 1 NIC

24
Q

How does unicast cluster operation mode work?

A

Requires a NIC dedicated to NLB cluster
Causes subnet flooding
Hosts replace real MAC with NLB generated one

25
Q

How does multicast cluster operation mode work?

A

Adds Layer 2 MAC address to NIC of each host
Causes subnet flooding
Requires configuration on network side

26
Q

How does IGMP multicast cluster operation mode work?

A

All traffic intended for cluster will only go through ports connected to cluster host
Does not flood subnet

27
Q

What is client affinity in NLB cluster rules?

A

Controls if users request will be handles from same machine it originated from

28
Q

What operation should you perform when bringing down an NLB host for upgrade?

A

DrainStop

Blocks further sessions to host until active sessions die, at which point it can go down
