  Understanding Cluster Quorum Models

  Quorums are used to determine the number of failures that can be tolerated within a cluster before the cluster itself has to stop running. This is done to protect data integrity and prevent problems that could occur because of failed or failing communication between nodes.

  Quorums describe the configuration of the cluster and contain information about the cluster components such as network adapters, storage, and the servers themselves. The quorum exists as a database in the registry and is maintained on the witness disk or witness share. The witness disk or share keeps a copy of this configuration data so that servers can join the cluster at any time, obtaining a copy of this data to become part of the cluster.

  One server manages the quorum resource data at any given time, but all participating servers also have a copy.

  You can use the following four quorum models with Windows Server 2008 Failover Clusters:

  Node Majority Microsoft recommends using this quorum model in Failover Cluster deployments that contain an odd number of cluster nodes. A cluster that uses the Node Majority quorum model is called a Node Majority cluster and remains up and running if the number of available nodes exceeds the number of failed nodes--that is, half plus one of its nodes is available. For example, for a seven-node cluster to remain online, four nodes must be available. If four nodes fail in a seven-node Node Majority cluster, the entire cluster shuts down. You should use Node Majority clusters in geographically or network-dispersed cluster nodes. To operate successfully this model requires an extremely reliable network, high-quality hardware, and a third-party mechanism to replicate back-end data.

  Node and Disk Majority Microsoft recommends using this quorum model in clusters that contain even numbers of cluster nodes. Provided that the witness disk remains available, a Node and Disk Majority cluster remains up and running when one-half or more of its nodes are available. A six-node cluster will not shut down if three or more nodes plus its witness disk are available. In this model, the cluster quorum is stored on a cluster disk that is accessible to all cluster nodes through a shared storage device using Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), Fibre Channel, or iSCSI connections. The model consists of two or more server nodes connected to a shared storage device and a single copy of the quorum data is maintained on the witness disk. You should use the Node and Disk Majority quorum model in Failover Clusters with shared storage, all connected on the same network and with an even number of nodes. In the case of a witness disk failure, a majority of the nodes need to remain up and running. For example, a six-node cluster will run if (at a minimum) three nodes and the witness disk are available. If the witness disk is offline, the same six-node cluster requires that four nodes are available.

  Exam Tip If the 70-646 examination asks which quorum model is the closest to the traditional single-quorum device cluster configuration model, the answer is the Node and Disk Majority quorum model.

  Node and File Share Majority This configuration is similar to the Node and Disk Majority model, but the quorum is stored on a network share rather than on a witness disk. A Node and File Share Majority cluster can be deployed in a similar fashion to a Node Majority cluster, but as long as the witness file share is available the cluster can tolerate the failure of half its nodes. You should use the Node and File Share Majority quorum model in clusters with an even number of nodes that do not utilize shared storage.

  No Majority: Disk Only Microsoft recommends that you do not use this model in a production environment because the disk containing the quorum is a single point of failure. No Majority: Disk Only clusters are best suited for testing the deployment of built-in or custom services and applications on a Windows Server 2008 Failover Cluster. In this model, provided that the disk containing the quorum remains available, the cluster can sustain the failover of all nodes except one.

• Question 42:

  You need to recommend a solution for improving the automated deployment of servers. The solution must meet the company's technical requirements. What should you include in the recommendation?

  A. an offline domain join
  B. native-boot virtual hard disks (VHDs)
  C. the Offline servicing of images
  D. the Online servicing of images
  A. an offline domain join

  Offline domain join is a new process that computers that run Windows?7 or Windows Server-2008 R2 can use to join a domain without contacting a domain controller. This makes it possible to join computers to a domain in locations where there is no connectivity to a corporate network.

• Question 43:

  You need to recommend a Windows update strategy for the new branch office.

  What should you recommend doing in the new branch office?

  A. Deploy WSUS in replica mode. Configure updates to be stored on the new WSUS server.
  B. Deploy WSUS in autonomous mode. Configure updates to be stored on the new WSUS server.
  C. Deploy WSUS in replica mode. Configure the WSUS clients to retrieve updates from Microsoft Update.
  D. Deploy WSUS in autonomous mode. Configure the WSUS clients to retrieve updates from Microsoft Update.
  C. Deploy WSUS in replica mode. Configure the WSUS clients to retrieve updates from Microsoft Update.

  ---

  New office has a 2MMbps link to the internet and only a 512Kbps link to HQ. so configuring WSUS to update from MS Update will meet the requirement to minimize WAN Link utalization. Making the WSUS server a replica will meet the

  requirement to minimize the administrative effort to approve updates as all updates would be approved in HQ and this approval would be replicated out to the branch offices.

  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939820%28WS.10%29.aspx

  Replica mode (centralized administration)

  In replica mode, an upstream WSUS server shares updates, approval status, and computer groups with downstream servers. Downstream replica servers inherit update approvals and are not administered separately from the upstream

  WSUS server.

  The following image shows how you might deploy replica WSUS servers in a branch office environment.

  

• Question 44:

  You need to recommend a solution to minimize the amount of time it takes for the legal

  department users to locate files in the Legal share.

  What should you include in the recommendation?

  A. File Server Resource Manager (FSRM)
  B. Print and Document Services
  C. Services for Network File System (NFS)
  D. Windows Search Service
  D. Windows Search Service

  MCITP Self-Paced Training Kit Exam 70-646 Windows Server Administration:

  Lesson 2: Provisioning Data Lesson 1 in this chapter introduced the Share And Storage Management tool, which gives you access to the Provision Storage Wizard and the Provision A Shared Folder Wizard. These tools allow you to configure storage on the volumes accessed by your server and to set up shares.

  When you add the Distributed File System (DFS) role service to the File Services server role you can create a DFS Namespace and go on to configure DFSR. Provisioning data ensures that user files are available and remain available even if a server fails or a WAN link goes down.

  Provisioning data also ensures that users canwork on important files when they are not connected to the corporate network.

  In a well-designed data provisioning scheme, users should not need to know the network path to their files, or from which server they are downloading them. Even large files should typically download quickly--files should not be downloaded or saved across a WAN link when they are available from a local server. You need to configure indexing so that users can find information quickly and easily. Offline files need to be synchronized quickly and efficiently, and whenever possible without user intervention. A user should always be working with the most up-to-date information (except when a shadow copy is specified) and fast and efficient replication should ensure that where several copies of a file exist on a network they contain the same information and latency is minimized.

  You have several tools that you use to configure shares and offline files, configure storage, audit file access, prevent inappropriate access, prevent users from using excessive disk resource, and implement disaster recovery. However, the main tool for provisioning storage and implementing a shared folder structure is DFS Management, specifically DFS Namespaces. The main tool for implementing shared folder replication in a Windows Server 2008 network is DFS Replication.

• Question 47:

  You need to recommend a solution for Group Policy that meets the company's technical requirements. What should you recommend?

  A. Create a Central Store.
  B. Enable folder redirection.
  C. Modify the File Replication Service (FRS) settings for SYSVOL.
  D. Configure SYSVOL to use Distributed File System (DFS) Replication.
  A. Create a Central Store.

  Microsoft Windows Vista?and Windows Server 2008 introduce a new format for displaying registry-based policy settings. Registry-based policy settings (located under the Administrative Templates category in the Group Policy Object Editor) are defined using a standards-based, XML file format known as ADMX files. These new files replace ADM files, which used their own markup language. The Group Policy tools --Group Policy Object Editor and Group Policy Management Console--remain largely unchanged. In the majority of situations, you will not notice the presence of ADMX files during your day-to-day Group Policy administration tasks.

• Question 48:

  You need to recommend a solution for the new VMs that supports the company's planned changes. What should you recommend doing before the new VMs are deployed?

  A. Purchase one additional Enterprise license.
  B. Purchase two additional Enterprise licenses.
  C. Deploy an additional physical server that runs Microsoft HyperV Server 2008 R2.
  D. Deploy an additional physical server that runs Windows Server 2008 R2 Enterprise.
  A. Purchase one additional Enterprise license.

  ---

  Best I could come up with was the following:

  Enterprise release includes the license for 4 virtual servers on one physical Server if that physical server is only running hyper V. as it stands the existing server has only 3 VMs leaving on license free, you need a total of 5 VMs running concurrently so you can utilize the one spare that you have.

• Question 49:

  You need to recommend a process for monitoring the servers. The process must meet the company's technical requirements. What should you include in the recommendation?

  A. event subscriptions
  B. Data Collector Sets (DCSs)
  C. Resource Monitor
  D. Microsoft System Center Operations Manager
  A. event subscriptions

  ---

  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749183.aspx

  Event Viewer enables you to view events on a single remote computer. However, troubleshooting an issue might require you to examine a set of events stored in multiple logs on multiple computers.

  Windows Vista includes the ability to collect copies of events from multiple remote computers and store them locally. To specify which events to collect, you create an event subscription. Among other details, the subscription specifies exactly which events will be collected and in which log they will be stored locally. Once a subscription is active and events are being collected, you can view and manipulate these forwarded events as You would any other locally stored events.

  Using the event collecting feature requires that you configure both the forwarding and the collecting computers.

  The functionality depends on the Windows Remote Management (WinRM) service and the Windows Event Collector (Wecsvc) service. Both of these services must be running on computers participating in the forwarding and collecting process. To learn about the steps required to configure event collecting and forwarding computers, see Configure Computers to Forward and Collect Events.

• Question 50:

  Your network consists of a single Active Directory domain. The functional level of the domain is Windows Server 2008 R2. All servers run Windows Server 2008 R2. A corporate security policy requires complex passwords for user accounts that have administrator privileges.

  You need to design a strategy that meets the following requirements:

  -Ensures that administrators use complex passwords

  -

  Minimizes the number of servers required to support the solution What should you include in your design?

  A. Implement Network Access Protection (NAP).
  B. Implement Active Directory Rights Management Services (AD RMS).
  C. Create a new Password Settings Object (PSO) for administrator accounts.
  D. Create a new child domain in the forest. Move all nonadministrator accounts to the new domain. Configure a complex password policy in the root domain.
  C. Create a new Password Settings Object (PSO) for administrator accounts.
