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.
Which two requirements should the vSAN administrator consider in order to accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)
A. A leaf spine topology is required for core redundancy and reduced latency.
B. NIC teaming must be implemented for the vSAN network vmkernel port.
C. The configuration must meet the same latency and bandwidth requirement as local vSAN.
D. Encryption must be disabled prior to configuring HCI mesh.
E. Either Layer 2 and Layer 3 communications can be used.
An administrator wants to check the vSAN cluster health during the maintenance window while vCenter Server is offline.
What are two ways to complete this task? (Choose two.)
A. HCIBench
B. ESXi system logs on vSAN datastore
C. esxcli
D. vSphere Host Client
E. esxtop
A new vSAN Cluster with four hosts has to be designed for a single site architecture. Which design decision is correct?
A. All the data must remain accessible even with two host failures.
B. Configure the storage controllers to use RAID.
C. Use block-based storage for the new vSAN cluster.
D. Only hardware listed on the VMware Compatibility Guide will be deployed.
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:
2x 100 GB VMDK RAID 1 vSAN Storage Policy 4x Point in Time snapshots
How many components will be created?
A. 32
B. 24
C. 16
D. 8
A vSphere administrator wants to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage a vSAN cluster with one desired image. When creating the new cluster, the administrator chooses "Manage all hosts in the cluster with a single image".
Which option is NOT available when setting up the cluster image?
A. Import image from new host
B. Import image from an existing host in the vCenter inventory
C. Import baseline from vSphere Lifecycle Manager
D. Compose a new image
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 host in the cluster experiences a permanent NIC failure, and the replacement part will not arrive until the next morning. The administrator needs to ensure the availability of the production workload at all times.
Which step should be taken by the administrator to meet this goal?
A. Shut down the production VMs.
B. Perform a live vMotion to another host.
C. Disable the vSAN Service on the VMkernel port.
D. Enter Maintenance Mode with "Full Data Migration"
Which VM file type resides in the VM home namespace object on a vSAN datastore?
A. vmem
B. vmx
C. vswp
D. vmsn
Which option, if any, is the default option to enable Maintenance Mode on a vSAN host?
A. Ensure accessibility.
B. No data migration.
C. Full data migration.
D. There is no default option. The administrator must select an option.
