An architect has been tasked to deliver a higher availability of the current deployed VMware vSAN Stretched Cluster infrastructure. The new design should incorporate three different sites that can run workloads in case of a failure.
Which product should the architect add to the design to meet these requirements?
Answer : A
An administrator has noticed that a number of the virtual machines in the preferred site are showing as either failed or partitioned.
In which two ways would the administrator expect the virtual machines to respond? (Choose two.)
Answer : AB
An administrator is tasked with setting up HCI mesh between the following two vSAN clusters:
• Cluster 1 uses FTT=1 via mirroring
• Cluster 2 uses FTT=1 via Erasure Coding
The administrator configures Cluster 2 as the cluster that is contributing storage to HCI mesh.
Which FTT applies to objects created on Cluster 1 when using the HCI Mesh shared storage?
Answer : B
Due to an update in their security requirements, an organization is no longer compliant because the metadata traffic between hosts in their vSAN cluster is not being encrypted.
Which step must be taken by the administrator to meet the new security requirements?
Answer : D
A vSAN administrator notices that all the applications on a vSAN cluster are suffering from performance degradation. The main applications on this cluster are very random write-intensive and generate a lot of i/o. De-staging seems to be going awfully slow.
Given the following information:
• Each host has a single disk group.
• Each disk group has 7 capacity disks.
• The size of each cache disk is 600 GB.
How should the administrator solve this problem?
Answer : D
An organization has two vSAN clusters managed by the same vCenter server, each providing 100 TB of storage. The first cluster runs at 75% of its storage capacity, and the second cluster runs at 40% of its storage capacity.
The company also has the following:
• an iSCSI array of 300 TB, which runs at 76% of its capacity
• a NAS system of 200 TB, which runs at 10% of its capacity
• a Fiber channel (FC) array of 300 TB, which runs at 80% of its capacity
The administrator is asked to add an additional 25 TB of storage to the first cluster but is also made aware that there is no budget to purchase new hardware and that the vSAN Storage Policy Based Management must be kept in place.
Which storage option will work for this use case?
Answer : C
A capacity upgrade to a production vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster will provide an administrator with a number of SSD storage devices that can be reused in the development vSAN Cluster.
The company security policy mandates the following:
• All data must be encrypted-at-rest.
• All data on all drives must be securely erased before being removed and reused.
Which two steps should the administrator take to ensure that all data on the storage devices is securely erased? (Choose two.)
Answer : BD
A faulty disk was not cleanly removed from the vSAN cluster when being replaced.
Which action should be taken to resolve the problem and restore the vSAN cluster to a healthy state?
Answer : A
An administrator is discussing the "No Data Migration" vSAN maintenance mode.
In which situation should the administrator recommend this mode?
Answer : D
An administrator notes that the Data-At-Rest Encryption keys have expired.
Which action is needed to resolve this situation?
Answer : B
An administrator has changed the Virtual Machine Storage Policy from RAID-5 to RAID-6.
How many failures can be tolerated when this change is made?
Answer : C
An administrator is troubleshooting vSAN performance issues, and the performance diagnostics reports:
"There are errors seen in one or more physical NICs on one or more hosts."
Which two problems must be resolved to fix this issue? (Choose two.)
Answer : BC
During a vSAN design workshop, the customer has provided the following information:
• There are many development activities that require burst compute and that there is an in-tention to use the existing ESXi hosts.
• The existing ESXi hosts are not vSAN ready nodes, so they will not be participating in vSAN capacity.
Which three recommendations should the architect make? (Choose three.)
Answer : ADE
During a vSAN design workshop, the customer expressed the following requirements:
• The ESXi hosts will have their disk related hardware changed to become vSAN nodes.
• The default storage policy will be based on an FTT=2 (Failures to Tolerate).
• The vSAN Primary level of failures to tolerate (PFTT) will be set to a value of 2.
Based on the request, the architect was shown the following information about the current cluster:
• The number of existing ESXi hosts is 8.
• vSphere High Availability (HA) Admission control set to 37.5%.
How does this information impact the vSAN cluster design?
Answer : C
