You administer a Microsoft SQL Server 2016 failover cluster that contains two nodes named Node A and Node B.
A single instance of SQL Server is installed on the cluster.
An additional node named Node C has been added to the existing cluster.
You need to ensure that the SQL Server instance can use all nodes of the cluster.
What should you do?
A. Create a ConfigurationFile.ini file from Node B, and then run the AddNode command-line tool on Node A
B. Use Node A to install SQL Server on Node C
C. Run the Add Node to SQL Server Failover Cluster Wizard on Node C
D. Use Cluster Administrator to add a new Resource Group to Node B
Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
1. To add a node to an existing SQL Server failover cluster
Insert the SQL Server installation media, and from the root folder, double-click Setup.exe. To install from a network share, navigate to the root folder on the share, and then double-click Setup.exe.

NEW QUESTION NO: 9
You have a database named DB1.
You plan to create a stored procedure that will insert rows into three different tables. Each insert must use the same identifying value for each table, but the value must increase from one invocation of the stored procedure to the next.
Occasionally, the identifying value must be reset to its initial value. You need to design a mechanism to hold the identifying values for the stored procedure to use.
What should you do? More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
A. Create a sequence object that holds the next value in the sequence.
Retrieve the next value by using the stored procedure.
Reset the value by using an ALTER SEQUENCE statement as needed.
B. Create a sequence object that holds the next value in the sequence.
Retrieve the next value by using the stored procedure.
Increment the sequence object to the next value by using an ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
Reset the value as needed by using a different ALTER SEQUENCE statement.
C. Create a fourth table that holds the next value in the sequence.
At the end each transaction, update the value by using the stored procedure.
Reset the value as needed by using an UPDATE statement.
D. Create an identity column in each of the three tables.
Use the same seed and the same increment for each table.
Insert new rows into the tables by using the stored procedure.
Use the DBCC CHECKIDENT command to reset the columns as needed.
Answer: A
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
- an application can obtain the next sequence number without inserting the row by calling the NEXT VALUE FOR function.
- ALTER SEQUENCE Includes argument:
RESTART [ WITH <constant> ]
The next value that will be returned by the sequence object. If provided, the RESTART WITH value must be an integer that is less than or equal to the maximum and greater than or equal to the minimum value of the sequence object. If the WITH value is omitted, the sequence numbering restarts based on the original CREATE SEQUENCE options.
- CREATE SEQUENCE
Creates a sequence object and specifies its properties. A sequence is a user-defined schema bound object that generates a sequence of numeric values according to the specification with which the sequence was created. The sequence of numeric values is generated in an ascending or descending order at a defined interval and can be configured to restart (cycle) when exhausted.

NEW QUESTION NO: 12
Background
Corporate Information
Fabrikam, Inc. is a retailer that sells electronics products on the Internet. The company has a headquarters site and one satellite sales office. You have been hired as the database administrator, and the company wants you to change the architecture of the Fabrikam ecommerce site to optimize performance and reduce downtime while keeping capital expenditures to a minimum. To help with the solution, Fabrikam has decided to use cloud resources as well as on-premise servers.
Physical Locations
All of the corporate executives, product managers, and support staff are stationed at the headquarters office. Half of the sales force works at this location. There is also a satellite sales office. The other half of the sales force works at the satellite office in order to have sales people closer to clients in that area. Only sales people work at the satellite location.
Problem Statement
To be successful, Fabrikam needs a website that is fast and has a high degree of system uptime. The current system operates on a single server and the company is not happy with the single point of failure this presents. The current nightly backups have been failing due to insufficient space on the available drives and manual drive cleanup often needing to happen to get past the errors. Additional space will not be made available for backups on the HQ or satellite servers. During your investigation, you discover that the sales force reports are causing significant contention.
Configuration
Windows Logins
The network administrators have set up Windows groups to make it easier to manage security. Users may belong to more than one group depending on their role. The groups have been set up as shown in the following table:

Server Configuration The IT department has configured two physical servers with Microsoft Windows Server 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 Enterprise Edition and one Windows Azure Server. There are two tiers of storage available for use by database files only a fast tier and a slower tier. Currently the data and log files are stored on the fast tier of storage only. If a possible use case exists, management would like to utilize the slower tier storage for data files. The servers are configured as shown in the following table:

Database
Currently all information is stored in a single database called ProdDB, created with the following script:

The Product table is in the Production schema owned by the ProductionStaff Windows group. It is the main table in the system so access to information in the Product table should be as fast as possible. The columns in the Product table are defined as shown in the following table:

The SalesOrderDetail table holds the details about each sale. It is in the Sales schema owned by the SalesStaff Windows group. This table is constantly being updated, inserted into, and read. The columns in the SalesOrderDetail table are defined as shown in the following table:

Database Issues
The current database does not perform well. Additionally, a recent disk problem caused the system to go down, resulting in lost sales revenue. In reviewing the current system, you found that there are no automated maintenance procedures. The database is severely fragmented, and everyone has read and write access.
Requirements
Database
The database should be configured to maximize uptime and to ensure that very little data is lost in the event of a server failure. To help with performance, the database needs to be modified so that it can support in-memory data, specifically for the Product table, which the CIO has indicated should be a memoryoptimized table. The auto-update statistics option is set off on this database. Only product managers are allowed to add products or to make changes to the name, description, price, cost, and supplier. The changes are made in an internal database and pushed to the Product table in ProdDB during system maintenance time. Product managers and others working at the headquarters location also should be able to generate reports that include supplier and cost information.
Customer data access
Customers access the company's website to order products, so they must be able to read product information such asname, description, and price from the Product table. When customers place orders, stored procedures calledby the website update product quantityon-hand values. This means the product table is constantly updated at randomtimes.
Customer support data access
Customer support representatives need to be able to view and not update or change product information.
Management does not want the customer support representatives to be able to see the product cost or any supplier information.
Sales force data access
Sales people at both the headquarters office and the satellite office must generate reports that read from the Product and SalesOrderDetail tables. No updates or inserts are ever made by sales people. These reports are run at random times and there can be no reporting downtime to refresh the data set except during the monthly maintenance window. The reports that run from the satellite office are process intensive queries with large data sets. Regardless of which office runs a sales force report, the SalesOrderDetail table should only return valid, committed order data; any orders not yet committed should be ignored.
Historical Data
The system should keep historical information about customers who access the site so that sales people can see how frequently customers log in and how long they stay on the site.
The information should be stored in a table called Customer Access. Supporting this requirement should have minimal impact on production website performance.
Backups
The recovery strategy for Fabrikam needs to include the ability to do point in time restores and minimize the risk of data loss by performing transaction log backups every 15 minutes.
Database Maintenance
The company has defined a maintenance window every month when the server can be unavailable. Any maintenance functions that require exclusive access should be accomplished during that window.
Project milestones completed
Revoked all existing read and write access to the database, leaving the schema ownership in place.

Configured an Azure storage container secured with the storage account name MyStorageAccount with

the primary access key StorageAccountKey on the cloud file server.
SQL Server 2014 has been configured on the satellite server and is ready for use.

On each database server, the fast storage has been assigned to drive letter F:, and the slow storage

has been assigned to drive letter D:.
You need to implement a backup strategy to support the requirements.
Which two actions should you perform? Each correct answer presents part of the solution. (Choose two.)
A. Create a credential called MyCredential on SQL Server by using a Windows domain account and password.
B. Schedule a full backup by using the command BACKUP DATABASE ProdDB TO DISK...
C. Create a share on your Windows Azure site by using your Windows Azure storage account information, and grant permission to the SQL Server service login.
D. Schedule a full backup by using the command BACKUP DATABASE ProdDB TO URL ... WTTH CREDENTIAL=N'MyCredential'
E. Create a share on the hot standby site and grant permission to the SQL Server service login.
F. Create a credential called MyCredential on SQL Server, using MyStorageAccount for the storage account name and StorageAccountKey for the access key.
G. Schedule a full backup by using the command BACKUP DATABASE ProdDB TO SHARE ... WITH CREDENTIAL=N' MyCredential'
Answer: C,D
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
- Scenario: The current nightly backups have been failing due to insufficient space on the available drives and manual drive cleanup often needing to happen to get past the errors. Additional space will not be made available for backups on the HQ or satellite servers.
- Need to store files in the cloud.
- Manage your backups to Windows Azure: Using the same methods used to backup to DISK and TAPE, you can now back up to Windows Azure storage by Specifying URL as the backup destination.
You can use this feature to manually backup or configure your own backup strategy like you would for a local storage or other off-site options.
This feature is also referred to as SQL Server Backup to URL. SQL Server Managed Backup to Windows Azure

You need to recommend a solution to back up DB1. What should you include in the recommendation?
A. Azure Table Storage
B. Azure Queue storage
C. Azure Blob storage
D. Azure Document DB
Answer: C
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
For SQL Server the Azure Blob Storage service offers a better alternative to the often used tape option to archive backups. Tape storage might require physical transportation to an off-site facility and measures to protect the media. Storing your backups in Azure Blob Storage provides an instant, highly available, and a durable archiving option.

NEW QUESTION NO: 17
You create an availability group named HaContoso that has replicas named Server01/HA, Server02/HA, and Server03/HA.
Currently, Server01l/HA is the primary replica.
You need to ensure that the following requirements are met:
Backup operations occur on Server02/HA.

If Server02/HA is unavailable, backup operations occur on Server03/HA.

Backup operations do not occur on Server01/HA.

How should you configure HaContoso?
A. Set the backup preference of HaContoso to Prefer Secondary. Set the backup priority of Server02/HA to 20. Set the backup priority of Server03/HA to 10.
B. Set the backup preference of HaContoso to Secondary only. Set the backup priority of Server02/HA to
20. Set the backup priority of Server03/HA to 10.
C. Set the backup preference of HaContoso to Secondary only. Set the backup priority of Server02/HA to
10. Set the backup priority of Server03/HA to 20.
D. set the exclude replica of Server01/HA to true. Set the backup priority of Server02/HA to 10. Set the backup priority of Server03/HA to 20.
Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Secondary only: Specifies that backups should never be performed on the primary replica. If the primary replica is the only replica online, the backup should not occur.
Backup Priority (Lowest=1, Highest=100)
Specifies your priority for performing backups on this replica relative to the other replicas in the same availability group. The value is an integer in the range of 0..100. 1 indicates the lowest priority, and 100 indicates the highest priority. If Backup Priority = 1, the availability replica would be chosen for performing backups only if no higher priority availability replicas are currently available.
