Microsoft AZ-801 Exam - Topic 1 Question 92 Discussion

Actual exam question for Microsoft's AZ-801 exam
Question #: 92
Topic #: 1
[All AZ-801 Questions]

You have a failover cluster named Cluster1 that has the following configurations:

Number of nodes: 6

Quorum: Dynamic quorum

Witness: File share, Dynamic witness

What is the maximum number of nodes that can fail simultaneously while maintaining quorum?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

Note this question is asking about nodes failing 'simultaneously', not nodes failing one after the other.

With six nodes and one witness, there are seven votes. To maintain quorum there needs to be four votes available (four votes is the majority of seven). This means that a minimum of three nodes plus the witness need to remain online for the cluster to function. Therefore, the maximum number of simultaneous failures is three.

I lean towards D) 4. Dynamic quorum helps with that.

No way, it's A) 1. We need to keep quorum!

I feel like it could be C) 3. More nodes can fail, right?

Wait, can 4 nodes really fail? Sounds off.

I’m confused about the dynamic aspect. Does that change the number of nodes we can lose? I thought it was usually half plus one.

If I recall correctly, with 6 nodes and a dynamic witness, we might be able to lose up to 3 nodes and still maintain quorum.

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like it’s either 2 or 3. I practiced a question similar to this, and it was tricky.

I think I remember that with dynamic quorum, the number of nodes that can fail is related to the total nodes minus the quorum requirement.
