When attempting to add a directly attached disk device to a host disk group, the intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management.
Which action should be taken?
A. Delete all device partitions
B. Create a 1GB metadata partition
C. Format the existing partition
D. Create a VMFS partition
During yesterday's business hours, a cache drive failed on one of the vSAN nodes. The administrator reached out to the manufacturer and received a replacement drive the following day. When the drive failed, vSAN started a resync to ensure the health of data, and all objects are showing a healthy and compliant state. The vSAN administrator needs to replace the failed cache drive.
Which set of steps should the vSAN administrator take?
A. Remove the existing vSAN disk group, and physically replace the device. Then, check to verify that the ESXi host automatically detects the new device. Afterwards, manually recreate the Disk Group.
B. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically create a new disk group. Then, remove the disk group with the failed device.
C. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically allocate the storage. Then, rebalance the cache layer.
D. Place the disk group into maintenance mode, and select Full Data Migration. Then, physically replace the failed cache device. Afterwards, vSAN will rebuild the disk group automatically.
A 100GB virtual disk object has this storage policy assigned to it:
Site disaster tolerance: None - standard cluster Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring) Number of disk stripes per object: 3
What is the maximum amount of raw vSAN storage capacity consumed by this virtual disk?
A. 200GB
B. 100GB
C. 300GB
D. 600GB
An administrator has deployed a development VMware vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster. It will be used by the development teams to deploy a mixture of cloud-native stateful applications alongside a combination virtual machine and Kubernetes workloads.
Which vSAN feature should be configured for the vSAN Data Persistence platform (vDPp)?
A. vSAN Cloud Native Storage
B. vSAN File Services
C. vSAN with Shared Nothing Architecture (SNA)
D. vSAN Direct
In vSAN 7.0 U1, when a host enters into maintenance mode (EMM) using the "Ensure Accessibility" option, it will allow vSAN to write to another host in addition to the host holding the object replica.
What does vSAN write to that additional host?
A. A full replica and all incremental updates that happened once the host entered maintenance mode
B. A full replica
C. The stripe from the host entering maintenance mode
D. All incremental updates that happened once the host entered maintenance mode
A single capacity disk fails within a vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster running with a "compression-only" configuration enabled. The vSAN administrator must recognize the platform impact that has occurred and take steps to correct it.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take?
A. The hardware failure will impact the entire disk group, so the vSAN administrator will need to remove and recreate the disk group following the replacement of the failed storage device.
B. The hardware failure will stop the running workloads, so the vSAN administrator will need to disable the compression-only configuration, replace the failed capacity device, and then re-create the disk group.
C. The hardware failure will impact all disk groups within the ESXi host, so the vSAN administrator will need to manually remove the ESXi node from the vSAN Cluster, replace the failed capacity device, and then re-create the disk group.
D. The hardware failure will only impact the specific capacity disk, so the vSAN administrator will need to remove and replace the failed capacity device.
The DevOps team of an organization wants to deploy their new cloud native application with persistent storage on a dedicated vSAN cluster. The storage administrator is tasked to configure the vSAN cluster and leverage the vSAN Direct feature.
Which two requirements must the administrator meet to complete this task? (Choose two.)
A. Unclaimed disks in the hosts for vSAN Direct
B. A dedicated network for vSAN Direct
C. A valid vSAN license for the vSAN cluster
D. An integration with vSAN File Services
E. vSphere HA enabled on the vSAN cluster
An administrator will be performing a rolling upgrade of a vSAN cluster over the weekend. In preparation, the administrator runs the Data Migration Pre-Check.
Which two items are being checked? (Choose two.)
A. vSphere HA state
B. Object compliance and accessibility
C. DRS settings
D. Affinity rules
E. Cluster capacity
A 5-node vSAN cluster contains multiple virtual machines, and a vSAN storage policy with the rule "Failures to tolerate" set to "1 failure - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)" is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rile in the assigned policy to "2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)".
What is the result of this change?
A. Changes are queued for 60 minutes.
B. The policy change is rejected immediately.
C. The updated policy is serially applied to the virtual machines.
D. No changes occur until the policy is reapplied.
Which state is NOT a compliance status of a VM Storage Policy?
A. Compliant
B. Noncompliant
C. Stale
D. Not Applicable
