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 vSAN administrator is implementing deduplication and compression on a vSAN all-flash cluster but wants the VMs to remain operational. The details are as follows:
There are 4 nodes in the vSAN cluster. Existing VMs use a RAID-5 storage policy.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to meet this goal?
A. Use explicit fault domains.
B. Enable TRIM/UNMAP.
C. Change the existing VM storage policy to RAID-6.
D. Use the Allow Reduced Redundancy option.
A new host with local storage devices has been added to a vSAN cluster. Now, the administrator would like to increase the capacity of the vSAN datastore.
What must be done to the new host to accomplish this goal?
A. Configure a RAID set on the storage controller.
B. Create one or more disk groups.
C. Delete all existing partitions.
D. Perform a storage device rescan.
A vSAN administrator is using the vSAN ReadyNode Sizer to build a new environment. While entering the cluster configurations, a fellow colleagues inquire about the Operations Reserve option.
What is the purpose of using this option?
A. Configures space for external operations
B. Provides space for internal operations
C. Reserves space for tolerating failures
D. Allocates space for vSAN upgrades
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.
What os the maximum number of 2-node clusters that can share a vSAN Shared Witness host in vSAN 7.0 U1?
A. 64
B. 1
C. 128
D. 32
A vSAN administrator wants to install a patch on an existing vSAN cluster. The environment runs vSphere 7.0, and the patch contains ESXi 7.0 Update 1c. The vSAN administrator will use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to add the patch to the proper image and apply it to the vSAN cluster.
Which action should be performed before patching the ESXi hosts in the vSAN cluster?
A. Upgrade the Platform Services Controller.
B. Perform a disk format upgrade.
C. Create a baseline instead of using images.
D. Upgrade the vCenter Server.
All of the virtual machines running on a hybrid vSAN datastore have this storage policy assigned:
Failures to Tolerate (FTT) rule is set to "2 Failures - RAID-1 (Mirroring)".
The vSAN administrator needs to reduce the amount of vSAN datastore capacity the virtual machines will
consume.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to meet this goal?
A. Change the FTT rule to "1 Failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)", and select "Now" for Reapply to VMs.
B. Add the "Flash read cache reservation" rule to the storage policy, and set to 0%.
C. Disable Operations reserve and Host rebuild reserve and click "Apply".
D. Modify the FTT rule to "2 Failures - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)".
A vSAN administrator has been asked to encrypt all traffic for data and metadata across all hosts in a vSAN cluster.
Which action is necessary to achieve this level of encryption?
A. Enable vSAN Cluster level encryption via Storage Policy. No KMS is required.
B. Enable vSAN Data In-Transit encryption at the cluster level. No KMS is required.
C. Deploy KMS server, and enable vSAN Data at Rest encryption at the cluster level.
D. Deploy KMS server, and enable vSAN Data at Rest and In-Transit encryption at the host level.
Which state is NOT a compliance status of a VM Storage Policy?
A. Compliant
B. Noncompliant
C. Stale
D. Not Applicable
