Question 4 of 320

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answer choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series.

You administer all the deployments of Microsoft SQL Server in your company.

You need to ensure that an OLTP database that uses a storage area network (SAN) remains available if any of the servers fail.

You also need to minimize the amount of storage used by the database.

Which configuration should you use?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is F.

To ensure the OLTP database remains available if any of the servers fail and to minimize the amount of storage used, configuring two servers on the same subnet with a SQL Server Availability Group in Synchronous-Commit Availability Mode is ideal. This setup ensures high availability and minimal data loss by keeping two copies of the data synchronized. Synchronous commit mode also ensures that transactions are committed on both the primary and secondary databases, which is crucial for maintaining data consistency. Using servers on the same subnet simplifies network configurations and can reduce some overhead, making it an efficient choice for minimizing storage and ensuring availability.

Question 5 of 320

Note: This question is part of a series of questions that use the same set of answers choices. An answer choice may be correct for more than one question in the series.

You administer a Microsoft SQL Server server that hosts a transactional database and a reporting database. The transactional database is updated through a web application and is operational throughout the day. The reporting database is only updated from the transactional database.

The recovery model and backup schedule are configured as shown in the following table:

Exam 70-462: Question 5 - Image 1

The differential backup of the reporting database fails. Then, the reporting database fails at 14:00 hours.

You need to ensure that the reporting database is restored. You also need to ensure that data loss is minimal.

What should you do?

Answer

Suggested Answer

The suggested answer is C.

To restore the reporting database with minimal data loss, you need to restore the most recent successful backup. Since the latest differential backup failed, restoring it would not be viable. Therefore, the most recent successful backup is the latest full backup. By restoring the latest full backup, you ensure the data is restored to the last known good state with minimal data loss.
