AZ-802 Manage Storage and File Services Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  It sets the IQN of the local server.

  Why it's wrong here

  The local server's IQN is automatically generated or configured at the system level and is not set using the New-IscsiServerTarget command. This command is specifically used to create a target object and define the external clients that are permitted to access the logical units it hosts.

• ✓

  It defines which client can connect to the target.

  Why this is correct

  The -InitiatorId parameter is used for access control. By providing the IQN of the client server, the administrator ensures that only that specific initiator can mount the iSCSI virtual disks associated with this target, preventing unauthorized access from other servers on the same network.

• ✗

  It specifies the IP address of the target portal.

  Why it's wrong here

  Target portals are the network interfaces on the server that listen for iSCSI traffic. They are managed using different cmdlets or parameters. The InitiatorId specifically uses an IQN or DNS name to identify a client machine, not a network endpoint or local listener address.

• ✗

  It creates a new virtual hard disk.

  Why it's wrong here

  This command creates the iSCSI target logical object but does not create the underlying storage. A separate command, such as New-IscsiVirtualDisk, must be used to create the VHDX file, which is then associated with the target created in the exhibit using the Add-IscsiVirtualDiskTargetMapping cmdlet.
