You have a Hyper-V host with multiple VMs on a Storage Spaces volume. You configure Storage QoS policies to limit the IOPS of a specific VM. However, you notice that the VM is still exceeding the limit. What should you check first?

Verify that the storage pool has enough capacity.

Check if the VM is using a pass-through disk.

Ensure the Storage QoS policy is applied to the correct VM and that the policy is enabled.

Check if the VM is using a VHDX file on a CSV volume.

You have a Windows Server 2022 file server with an RDMA-capable network adapter. You enable SMB Direct, but clients report that file transfers are not using RDMA. The clients are Windows 10 workstations with standard network adapters. What is the most likely reason?

SMB Direct requires the server to have SMB Multichannel enabled.

SMB Direct requires the file share to be configured with SMB Encryption.

SMB Direct requires RDMA-capable network adapters on both the server and the client.

SMB Direct is only supported on Windows Server, not on Windows 10 clients.

Which network technology is required to use SMB Direct?

RDMA-capable network adapters (e.g., RoCE, iWARP, InfiniBand).

You have a Windows Server 2022 server with an iSCSI target that provides a LUN to multiple clients. You need to ensure that only authorized servers can connect to the target. What should you configure?

Configure the iSCSI target to use IPsec.

Configure CHAP authentication on the iSCSI target.

Configure the iSCSI target to use a specific portal.

Configure the iSCSI target to use a specific LUN.

You have two Windows Server 2022 servers in the same datacenter connected by a 1-Gbps link. You need to replicate a 2-TB volume synchronously for zero data loss. The volume is used by a critical application. During testing, the replication is slow and the application experiences latency. What should you do to improve performance while maintaining synchronous replication?

Switch to asynchronous replication to reduce latency.

Increase the network link speed to 10 Gbps.

Compress the data before replication.

Use a larger block size for replication.
