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?
While preparing to update a vSAN cluster, an administrator finds that the firmware revision of the onboard storage controllers is no longer listed as supported in the Hardware Compatibility Guide, but new firmware is available.
Which action should the administrator take upon discovering this piece of information?
After a recent data loss event, the IT department plans to deploy a DR site using vSphere Replication with vSAN providing the storage backend.
The architect would like to know how many components will be created based on the following configuration:
How many components will be created?
An administrator wishes to prevent vCenter notifications of vSAN Health status during a scheduled maintenance window.
Which action can be taken to achieve this goal?
A newly deployed vSAN cluster runs vSAN 7.0, and the vSAN cluster needs an integration with a third-party software solution. The software solution provides full app-level redundancy, and it runs on the vSAN Data Persistence platform.
The administrator configures vSAN Direct Configuration to integrate the third-party storage with vSAN and now needs to configure a storage policy to make sure the vSAN Direct storage is used by the vSAN Data Persistence platform third-party software solution.
Which type of storage policy configuration should the administrator use?
An vSAN administrator is relying on vSAN Stretched Clusters to protect against entire-site failures. How is this protection accomplished?
A vSAN administrator notices that the VMware Skyline Health: Network Latency Check reports indicate that three hosts are noncompliant.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take?
A vSAN Administrator would like to save some space on workloads that do not take advantage of deduplication techniques by leveraging vSAN Compression only.
Which set of requirements should be met?
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 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 vSAN administrator has a vSAN cluster that is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware. All hosts in the cluster are compliant according to the vLCM image.
A 10GB NIC on the servers is experiencing issues, the vSAN administrator determines a new network driver will resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the required NIC driver is a newer version compared to the driver provided by the most recent Vendor Addon.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to ensure the latest network driver is installed on the NIC before remediation?
A financial institute deployed a vSAN Stretched Cluster to provide geographical resiliency. After a recent WAN outage, the institute decided to deploy a smaller warm site and use vSphere Replication to asynchronously replicate the data.
The environment has the following configurations:
• 1300 VMs
• 300 TBs of storage
• RAID-5 vSAN storage policy
What is the minimum amount of vSphere Replication servers required to support the requirement?
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 vSAN administrator has been provided hardware to create the vSAN infrastructure. AH six SSD devices per host are on the VMware HCL. The administrator wants to use the disk group configuration that would maximize the amount of vSAN cache available and help provide better storage performance for the new development workloads.
Which disk group configuration should be used?
A vSAN administrator is planning to deploy a new vSAN cluster with these requirements:
• Physical adapters share capacity among several traffic types
• Guaranteed bandwidth for vSAN during bandwidth contention
• Enhanced security
Which two actions should be taken to configure the new vSAN cluster to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)
A vSAN administrator is looking at adding a new vSAN cluster with hosts that have 512GB memory.
What is the minimum requirement for the node’s flash boot device?
A vSAN architect is using the vSAN Sizer to build an All-Flash vSAN cluster for an accounting company. The architect is trying to determine why 12 TBs are set aside for system overhead and is reviewing the items that are include in the overhead capacity.
Which two items are included? (Choose two.)
The objects on a 4-node vSAN cluster are assigned a RAID-5 policy. A network outage occurs, causing host one to lose connectivity with the rest of the cluster. Seventy-five minutes have elapsed.
What is the health state of the objects?
What is the maximum time range that can be stored by the vSAN health check history?
An administrator needs an esxcli system command that will place a vSAN host into maintenance mode using the "Ensure Accessibility" option.
Which esxcli system command, if any, will work?
A vSAN administrator needs to find the metrics for objects containing data served up by the vSAN iSCSI service.
On which level should the vSAN administrator look?
A remote location was configured with Cloud Native Storage. When the administrator put the host in maintenance mode to perform monthly patching, the File Server Health check was triggered.
Which action, if any, should the administrator take to resolve the issue?
