Question

A system administrator needs to create a high-performance SQL server. What type of disk configuration will allow the administrator to connect an offline physical disk that is connected to the host machine to a VM to maximize a VM's performance?

Answer 1

Answer:

Pass-through disk

Explanation:

Pass-through disk configuration will allow the administrator to connect an offline physical disk that is connected to the host machine to a VM to maximize a VM's performance.

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.

A pass-through disk must be offline in the parent partition of the Hyper-V server.
