Question 4 of 13
You are working in Hyper-V Manager on your Windows Server 2012 R2 system. This system hosts several
Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual machines. You create snapshots of these virtual machines nightly as part of
your disaster recovery plan .
Users are complaining that they can no longer access the virtual servers. In Hyper-V Manager, they are
identified as being in a Paused-Critical state.
Install a new physical hard disk in the hypervisor host.
What should you do? (Select two. Each answer is a part of the overall solution.)
0 Reconfigure the virtual machines to use the new drive as a pass-through disk.
0 Upgrade the virtual machines to Windows Server 2012 R2 .
0
0 Move the snapshot files to the new hard disk.
0 Reboot the hypervisor system.
0 Revert the virtual machines to the most recent snapshot.
Explanation
After a virtual machine snapshot has been taken, the base virtual hard disk stops expanding and the snapshot file stores
all new data that is written to the disk. Therefore, it is critical that there is adequate physical disk space available in the
snapshot storage location. If the available hard disk space falls under 200 MB, all running virtual machines will be paused
and marked Paused-Critical.
An easy way to fix the issue in this scenario is to install an additional physical hard disk in the hypervisor host and then
move the snapshots to the new disk.
Upgrading the virtual machines to Windows Server 2012 R2 will not resolve the Paused-Critical state nor will reverting
them to a prior snapshot or rebooting the hypervisor host. When you connect a physical hard disk to a VM, the hard disk
is referred to as a pass-through disk. This feature will not resolve the issue in this scenario.
