A vSAN administrator has an existing cluster where each ESXi host has the following:
– Disk group #1 with one cache device and three capacity devices.
– Disk group #2 with one cache device and two capacity devices.
What must the vSAN administrator do to expand disk group #2 to have three capacity devices?
- A . Create a new disk group with a single capacity device and then migrate the existing capacity devices
- B . Add the new capacity device to the disk group and vSAN will automatically rebalance
- C . Put the entire ESXi host in maintenance mode, evacuate all data, then add the new capacity device
- D . Put the disk group in maintenance mode, evacuate all data, then add the new capacity device
Which vSAN maintenance mode option should be used to avoid storage policy non-compliance?
- A . Ensure accessibility
- B . Partial maintenance mode
- C . Full data migration
- D . No data migration
A vSAN administrator was presented with 30 additional vSAN ReadyNodes to add to an existing vSAN cluster. There is only one administrator to complete this task.
What is the fastest approach?
- A . Run vim-cmd to capture, and apply the configuration from an existing host
- B . Launch Quickstart to Add Hosts to a vSAN Cluster
- C . Clone the ESXi boot partition to all new hosts, since the hardware is identical
- D . Use a Host Profile that was extracted from an existing host
A customer wishes to host a new range of applications with high-performance requirements, specifically, low latency. The current vSAN platform is based on ReadyNode hardware and uses a vSAN 7.0 U2 hybrid topology configuration.
Which would satisfy the customer’s requirement?
- A . Deploy the application on a new cluster with vSAN 8.0 ESA using a new hardware design
- B . Deploy the new applications on the existing cluster with a RAID-6 VM storage policy and an additional stripe width of 4
- C . Deploy the application on a new cluster with vSAN 8.0 OSA using the existing hybrid configuration
- D . Perform an in-place upgrade from vSAN 7.0 U2 OSA to vSAN 8.0 ESA
An organization wants to implement a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) solution on their vSAN storage. They also need to store their applications running inside the VDI environment on vSAN storage.
Which two end-user computing (EUC) solutions could be implemented to satisfy the requirements of the organization? (Choose two.)
- A . Agp_ Volumes
- B . Workspace ONE Access
- C . Horizon
- D . Workspace ONE UEM
- E . Dynamic Environment Manager
vSAN requires that the virtual machines deployed on the vSAN datastores are assigned at least one storage policy, but the administrator did not explicitly assign a storage policy when provisioning the new VM.
What is the result of this situation?
- A . The VM provisioning will fail.
- B . The VM objects will be protected based on the vSAN Default Storage Policy configurations.
- C . The vSphere Web Client will choose the last vSAN Storage Policy used.
- D . No data protection will be applied to the VM objects.
Which two considerations should an architect assess when designing a HCI Mesh solution with VMware vSAN and VMware vSphere High Availability (HA)? (Choose two.)
- A . A server vSAN cluster can serve its local datastore up to five client vSAN clusters.
- B . A client cluster can mount up to ten remote datastores from one or more vSAN server clusters.
- C . A minimum of three nodes are required within the client cluster for vSphere HA to work
- D . If vSphere HA is to work with HCI Mesh, Datastore with Permanent Device Loss (PDL) must be confiqured to Power off and restart VMs.
- E . If vSphere HA is to work with HCI Mesh, Datastore with All Paths Down (APD) must be configured to Power off and restart VMs.
A vSAN administrator has a group of requirements from the application team, which mandates spreading the components across storage devices as much as possible.
What should the vSAN Administrator consider to achieve such a requirement for building a new vSAN cluster? (Choose two.)
- A . Configure disk striping in OSA
- B . Configure disk striping in ESA
- C . Enable Force Provisioning in OSA
- D . Enable deduplication for vSAN
- E . Create a dedicated Storage Pool in ESA
An administrator has been tasked with upgrading existing vSAN OSA cluster hosts with a SSD cache device per host to a NVMe device (hot plug).
Which fact should guide the administrator’s action?
- A . The disk group must be deleted on each physical host in the vSAN OSA cluster to use the NVMe device.
- B . The disk group does not need to be removed before adding new cache.
- C . The host must be removed from vSAN OSA cluster before changing cache devices.
- D . The cache disk drives must have a larger capacity.
