An administrator wants to assign a storage policy to a workload on a two-node vSAN OSA cluster consisting of three disk groups each with nested fault domains. The virtual machine must be protected against a disk or disk group failure.
Which two storage policies meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
- A . RAID-5/FTT 2
- B . RAID-1/FTT 3
- C . RAID-6/FTT 2
- D . RAID-5/FTT 1
- E . RAID-1/FTT 1
What are two characteristics of a durability component in vSAN? (Choose two.)
- A . Better Performance
- B . Faster resynchronization
- C . Faster snapshot creation
- D . Better Storage utilization
- E . Better Availability
What are two characteristics of the vSAN Data-At-Rest Encryption (DARE)? (Choose two.)
- A . it requires Self-Encrypting Drives in order to work.
- B . it needs to be enabled together with the vSAN Data-In-Transit encryption.
- C . it is Software Defined and works independently of the Cache or Capacity drives installed on the Nodes.
- D . it is not supported on Stretched Cluster environments.
- E . it continues to operate unaffected during downtime on vCenter Server.
An administrator wishes to prevent vCenter notifications of vSAN Health status during a scheduled maintenance window.
Which action can be taken to achieve this goal?
- A . Disable the performance service
- B . Disable the alarm from the HTML client
- C . Run performance diagnostics prior to scheduled maintenance
- D . Disable SNMP service
An administrator must choose between deploying a virtual witness or a physical witness for a vSAN Stretched Cluster. The administrator eventually decides to use a virtual witness.
What is a benefit of selecting this approach?
- A . Increased vSAN datastore capacity
- B . Shared metadata between separate clusters
- C . Reduced vSphere licensing
- D . Additional compute capacity for running VMs
A three-node vSAN OSA cluster with business critical intensive I/O workload is running out of capacity. Each host consists of five disk groups with four capacity disks. The administrator needs to expand the capacity of the vSAN datastore as soon as possible.
What should the administrator do?
- A . Enable Deduplication and Compression on the cluster level
- B . Add additional capacity by adding a disk on one host and creating a storage pool
- C . Add additional capacity by adding a vSAN ReadyNode to the cluster
- D . Add additional capacity disks to each disk group
An administrator has 24 physical servers that need to be configured with vSAN. The administrator needs to ensure that a single rack failure is not going to affect the data availability. The number of racks used should be minimized.
What has to be done and configured to achieve this goal?
- A . Distribute servers across at least two different racks and configure two fault domains
- B . Configure disk groups with a minimum of four capacity disks in each server and distribute them across four racks
- C . Enable deduplication and compression
- D . Distribute servers across at least three different racks and configure three fault domains
A vSAN administrator is planning to deploy a new vSAN cluster with these requirements:
Physical adapters share capacity among several traffic types
Guaranteed bandwidth for vSAN during bandwidth contention
Enhanced security
Which two actions should be taken to configure the new vSAN cluster to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
- A . Create static routes between the vSAN hosts
- B . Use IOPS Limit rules in storaqe policies
- C . Utilize Network I/O Control
- D . Enable jumbo frames
- E . Isolate vSAN traffic in a VLAN
An administrator is upgrading multiple vSAN Witness nodes with vLCM (single image management) that are used for vSAN Stretched and two-node Clusters.
What two witness node types can the administrator upgrade? (Choose two.)
- A . Appliance witness node
- B . Shared witness node
- C . Nested witness node
- D . Dedicated witness node
- E . Physical witness node
Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator uses SSH to log into a vSAN ESA host and runs the esxcli vsan debug object overview command.
The administrator notices the Healthy Components column, the last column, is reporting some components are not in a fully healthy state.
What could cause this behavior?
- A . New physical disks have been claimed and a rebalance operation is underway.
- B . The applied Storage policy has been updated.
- C . New VMDKs have been added to multiple VMs, but the storage policy has not finished applying.
- D . One host is in maintenance mode with ensure accessibility.
