   A Dell PowerEdge XE cluster hosts a highly available file server resource. The resource is configured with a dependency on a specific disk resource. During a failover test, the file server resource fails to come online on the secondary node. The event log shows that the disk resource came online successfully, but the file server resource is still failing. What is the most likely cause of this failure?

   • AThe secondary node does not have the File Server role installed.
   • BThe cluster service on the secondary node is not running.
   • CThe file server resource has an incorrect dependency on a network name resource that is not present.
   • DThe disk resource is not formatted with NTFS.

   A Dell PowerEdge XE cluster has two nodes connected to two different network switches for redundancy. The cluster is configured to use both networks for cluster communication. After a network configuration change, the nodes can communicate over the first network but not the second. The administrator checks the IP configuration on both nodes and confirms the addresses are correct. What should the administrator check next?

   • AConfirm that the second network is connected to the same switch as the first network.
   • BVerify that the second network is enabled for cluster communication in the cluster network settings.
   • CCheck if the second network is on a different subnet than the first network.
   • DEnsure that the second network is configured with a higher metric than the first network.

   A Dell PowerEdge XE cluster has two nodes connected to the same network switch. The cluster was working, but after a firmware update on the switch, the nodes cannot communicate with each other. The cluster service is running on both nodes, but they each report the other as 'unreachable'. The administrator checks the IP configuration on both nodes and confirms the addresses are correct. What should the administrator check next?

   • AConfirm that the cluster disk resource is online on both nodes.
   • BVerify that the cluster heartbeat traffic is not being blocked by a firewall rule on the nodes.
   • CCheck if the cluster service on both nodes is set to the same service account.
   • DEnsure that the cluster name is resolvable via DNS on both nodes.

   In a Dell PowerEdge XE cluster, which symptom most directly indicates a cluster configuration error related to node roles?

   • AA cluster service fails to start because its dependent service is not installed.
   • BA node has an incorrect IP address that prevents it from joining the cluster network.
   • CA storage LUN is mapped to the wrong cluster node, causing data access issues.
   • DA node is configured as a witness but is listed as a regular member in the cluster database.

   An administrator has just corrected a cluster configuration error that was preventing a resource from failing over. The administrator wants to verify that the correction is effective and that the resource can now fail over successfully. Which action should the administrator take?

   • ACheck the cluster database for the resource configuration.
   • BInitiate a failover of the resource and monitor the event logs.
   • CRun the Validate a Configuration wizard.
   • DRestart the cluster service on all nodes.
