Question 1
Question
Hyper-V in Windows Server 2012 is a Type I virtulization architecture. What is the fundamental difference between Hyper-V and older, Type II virtualization architectures?
Answer
-
Hyper-V creates environments called partitions, each with its own operating system installed.
-
Its hypervisor designates the first partition as the parent partition and all subsequent partitions as child partitions.
-
Its hypervisor is an abstraction layer and interacts directly with computer hardware, rather than as a host OS application.
-
Computer subsystems such as Plug and Play and power management are managed by Hyper-V's parent partition.

-
When a VM has to restart and not enough memory is available to allocate its minimum RAM value
-
When a VM is overburdened with client traffic and not enough memory is available to allocate its maximum RAM value
-
When a VM is overburdened with client traffic and just enough memory is available to allocate is maximum RAM value

Question 4
Question

-
Resource metering documents user traffic on virtual machines
-
Resource metering enables you to redistribute virtual machine resources
Question 11
Question

-
The actual startup procedure is not altered
-
The newly installed hypervisor starts alongside of the operating system simultaneously
-
The newly installed hypervisor starts second, after the operating system loads as a partition

-
Guest Integration Services improves data exchange between the parent partition and child partitions.
-
Guest Integration Services improves time synchronization between the parent partition and child partitions.
Question 16
Question
Regarding the benefits of a SAN, what happens during serverless backup?

The server schedules the backup, but has no involvement at the beginning, during, or end
-
The server initiates the backup, but the server is not involved during the backup

The server acts as a slave to the backup device
-
Without a server, there is no backup

Answer
-
An opportunity to experiment with no changes committed to the differencing disk
-
A better security for the data on the differencing disk
-
A faster load time than a full VM
-
An opportunity to experiment with no changes committed to the parent image
Question 18
Question
Do VMs ever directly access a physical hard disk?
Answer
-
No, VMs access only virtual hard disks, areas of space on the physical hard disk.
-
Yes, VMs access a physical hard disk by way of a "pass-through disk," a special virtual disk that directly accesses the physical disk if it is made exclusively available to the VM
-
No, VMs access physical hardware only through the hypervisor
-
Yes, virtual hard disks associate directly to the physical hard disks.
Question 19
Question

-
Yes, you can even modify it without mounting it to a VM
Question 21
Question

Answer
-
By creating a pass-through disk for the VM
