An administrator wants to enable encryption on an existing vSAN cluster that already contains virtual machines.
Which additional step should the administrator take to ensure no data is lost during the encryption process?
A. Select ‘Erase disks before use’ check box when enabling encryption on a vSAN cluster.
B. Make vCenter Server trust the KMS, either by trusting the KMS or by uploading a KMS certificate.
C. Ensure that the vSAN Encryption is enabled by default on the existing cluster to encrypt old and new data.
D. Disable vSphere Distributed Resources Schedule (DRS) on the vSAN cluster.
An administrator is tasked to create a custom storage policy for workloads and is including additional disk stripes while defining the storage policy.

An architect collected the below technical requirements from the customer during a vSAN cluster design
workshop:
Maximize the vSAN datastore usable capacity.
Deduplication and compression are required to help utilize available capacity efficiency.
Ensure the highest level of resiliency wherever possible.
Which disk group configuration should the architect include in the design?
A. One disk group per host, with one cache tier flash disk and four capacity tier flash disks.
B. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and four capacity tier flash disks.
C. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and six capacity tier flash disks.
D. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and six capacity tier magnetic disks.
An architect is working with an All-Flash vSAN configuration and will be using the Flash Caching Devices in vSAN.
Which requirement is specifically needed for these devices?
A. Write endurance
B. IOPS
C. Read endurance
D. Capacity
A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.
During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:
The VMware vCenter Server has recently been upgraded from VMware vSphere 6.7 U3 to version 7.0 U1.
The vSAN Cluster was recently expanded with identical hardware specification, but from a different hardware vendor.
The hardware for each vSAN node is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) for vSAN 7.
The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:
-vSAN version: 6.6.1
-Number of vSAN nodes: 10
-Encryption: enabled
-Deduplication and Compression: enabled
-vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%
Each vSAN node has the following configuration:
-VMware vSphere ESXi version: 6.5 Update 3
-CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores
-RAM: 768GB RAM.
-Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs
-Network: 4 x 10GbE
Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure all data remains protected in the event of a vSAN failure? (Choose three.)
A. The Full data migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.
B. The Ensure accessibility, migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.
C. The upgrade process should be completed using host upgrade baselines in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
D. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 7.0 U1.
E. The upgrade process should be completed using images in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
F. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 6.7 U3.
An administrator is planning to change a vSAN Storage Policy to apply a Failures To Tolerate (FTT) of 2, using RAID-6.
What is the minimum number of vSAN nodes required?
A. 6
B. 4
C. 5
D. 8
An architect is designing a new Hybrid five node vSAN cluster for a customer who is planning to use vRealize Automation to provision 600 virtual machines into that cluster, with expected growth up to 1,000 VM. Each VM has a 40GB thick-provisioned disk.
Which flash disk size is required for the cache tier per ESXi node to meet all requirements?
A. 400GB
B. 700GB
C. 600GB
D. 800GB
