An administrator must choose between deploying a virtual witness or physical witness for a vSAN Stretched Cluster. The administrator eventually decides to use a virtual witness.
What is a benefit of selecting this approach?
A. Reduced vSphere licensing
B. Additional compute capacity for running VMs
C. Shared metadata between separate clusters
D. Increased vSAN datastore capacity
An existing vSAN cluster has this specification:
Four ESXi hosts with all flash configuration Each with two disk groups Each disk group with one cache device and four capacity devices There are five more device slots available
The CTO would like to provision new applications, and these will need more capacity and performance.
Which two methods may be used by the vSAN administrator to meet this goal? (Choose two.)
A. Adding faster cache devices
B. Adding one more disk group per host with the same configuration
C. Replacing all cache devices by a larger device
D. Adding an ESXi host with identical device configuration
E. Replacing all capacity devices by a larger device
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
A vSAN administrator notices the VMware Skyline Health: Network Latency Check reports indicate three hosts are non-compliant.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take?
A. Reboot the noncompliant hosts one at a time.
B. Rerun the VMware Skyline Health: vSAN Cluster Partition report.
C. Place the noncompliant hosts into an isolated network.
D. Check VMKNICs, uplinks, VLANs, physical switches, and associated settings.
A vSAN administrator received the following alert from vRealize Operations Manager:
"VMKernel NIC is experiencing high number of dropped packets."
What is the quickest path in vRealize Operations Manager that should be used to further investigate this
alert?
A. Home -> vSphere Optimization Assessment
B. Home -> Troubleshoot -> vSAN
C. Alerts -> Triggered Alerts
D. Environment -> vSAN and Storage Devices
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
A vSAN administrator observes that the VMware Skyline Health: Time Synchronization displays one host that is noncompliant.
What is the meaning of this message?
A. The vSAN administrator must review the NTP server configuration on vCenter Server and the ESXi hosts.
B. The vSAN administrator must put the noncompliant host into maintenance mode.
C. The value of the CLOMRepairDelay parameter is incorrect.
D. The noncompliant host cannot communicate with vCenter.
A vSAN administrator is tasked to perform an upgrade of a vSAN cluster from 7.0 to 7.0 U2, 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. Manually remediate one host at a time in the vSAN cluster.
C. Place all hosts in the vSAN cluster into Maintenance Mode.
D. Stage the upgrade of the vSAN cluster through vLCM.
What is the purpose of host rebuild reserve in vSAN?
A. Reserves space in case of single host failure
B. Allocated capacity for vCLS
C. Reconfigures data components
D. Stores vSphere HA heartbeats
Which state is NOT a compliance status of a VM Storage Policy?
A. Compliant
B. Noncompliant
C. Stale
D. Not Applicable
