An administrator has deployed a new vSAN OSA cluster that contains eight hosts and needs to configure a storage policy for the currently deployed database virtual machines. The requirements state that if two hosts in the vSAN OSA cluster fail, all virtual machines are unaffected.
Which RAID configuration must the administrator use in this storage policy to achieve the best performance for the database virtual machines?
- A . RA1D-1
- B . RAID-5
- C . RAID-6
- D . RAID-0
An application refactor requires significant storage that is being added for logs stored on a VM vDISK. The application VMs run on a dedicated vSAN enabled vSphere Cluster with custom CPUs and RAM, and therefore, cannot vMotion to another vSAN enabled cluster.
The administrator needs a vSAN feature that can be used to allocate additional storage from another vSAN enabled vSphere cluster to this vSAN enabled Cluster.
Which vSAN feature should be used for this purpose?
- A . vSAN File Services
- B . vSAN HCI Mesh
- C . vSAN Replication
- D . vSAN Stretched Clusters
A vSAN administrator has a cluster configured with a Storage Pool that was moved to a new physical DC.
Upon checking on the vSAN cluster health status, one of the ESXi hosts has two storage devices in a degraded state and must be replaced.
What must the vSAN administrator do to restore the health of the vSAN cluster with minimum risk?
- A . Remove the host from ySAN configuration, replace the faulty disks, re-create the storage pool
- B . Remove the entire storage pool, install the new devices, re-create the storage pool
- C . Remove the host from the cluster, replace the faulty disks, re-add the host to the cluster
- D . Remove the devices from the storage pool, replace the storage devices, claim the new devices in vSAN
When adding a disk to a host that was previously used in a decommissioned vSAN cluster the intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management.
Which action should be taken prior to assigning the disk on disk management?
- A . Format the existing partition
- B . Create a 1GB metadata partition
- C . Delete all device partitions
- D . Create a VMFS partition
What are two prerequisites for using the TRIM and UNMAP capability of vSAN? (Choose two.)
- A . Deduplication and compression are enabled.
- B . The vSAN cluster is an all-flash architecture.
- C . The VM quest operating system supports ATA TRIM or SCSI UNMAP capability
- D . TRIM and UNMAP is enabled.
- E . Change the Object Space Reservation to 100.

A vSAN administrator is responsible for managing a customer’s production vSAN cluster that is going to be used to provide SMB file shares to a number of host clients. The vSAN administrator must take action so the performance of all services in the production vSAN cluster can be monitored.
Which two services must be enabled for this monitoring to occur? (Choose two.)
- A . vSAN Performance Diagnostic Service
- B . iSCSI Target Service
- C . vSAN File Services
- D . vSAN Health Service
- E . vSAN Performance Service
A vSAN administrator is tasked to perform an upgrade of a vSAN cluster, including firmware and drivers for its hardware. The vSAN administrator already created an image using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
Prior to selecting Start Remediation, which step should be taken to upgrade the complete vSAN cluster as a single task?
- A . Select Remediate All through vLCM to upgrade all hosts in the cluster
- B . Place all hosts in the vSAN cluster into Maintenance Mode
- C . Stage the upgrade of the vSAN cluster through vLCM
- D . Manually remediate one host at a time in the vSAN cluster
A vSAN administrator wants to transition from VMware Update Manager to vSphere Lifecycle Manager.
Which element is a mandatory requirement to create an image?
- A . ESXi Version
- B . Component
- C . Firmware and Drivers Add-On
- D . Vendor Add-On
