Assuming all other disks have not suffered from a hardware failure, why would vSAN mark all disks in the group as failed?

A single disk in a vSAN disk group suffers from an unrecoverable hardware failure. This causes vSAN to set the health status for all disks in the group to Permanent disk loss, indicating disk failure.

Assuming all other disks have not suffered from a hardware failure, why would vSAN mark all disks in the group as failed?
A . The vSAN disk management service has failed.
B . The affected vSphere host is offline.
C . The key management server is offline.
D . Deduplication and compression are enabled on the vSAN cluster.

Answer: D

What are two possible results when two hosts in the vSAN cluster fail permanently?

A vSAN 5-node cluster has two sets of VMs, each associated with a separate storage policy.

-Group A (Storage Policy: FTT=0)

– Group B (Storage Policy: FTT=2)

What are two possible results when two hosts in the vSAN cluster fail permanently? (Choose two.)

A. VMs in Group B will become inaccessible if a third host permanently fails.

B. vSAN will rebuild data associated with Group A.

C. VMs in Group A might experience data inaccessibility.

D. VMs in Goup B might experience data loss.

E. A host can be put into maintenance mode without impacting VMs in either Group A or B.

Answer: AC

Which action could the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

An administrator has discovered that space utilized by VMs does not decrease after deleting files and folders within the VMs. The administrator needs to be able to reclaim this space.

Which action could the administrator perform to accomplish this task?
A . Enable Storage I/O Control.
B . Enable TRIM/UNMAP for the vSAN cluster.
C . Reboot the VM to recreate the swap file.
D . Assign a storage policy with thin provisioning.

Answer: D

What is the health state of the objects?

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 elapse.

What is the health state of the objects?
A . Reduced availability with no rebuild
B . Reduced availability with no rebuild C delay timer
C . Non-availability related incompliance [non-compliance]
D . Reduced availability

Answer: A

Which configuration satisfies the design requirements?

An architect is asked to design a vSAN cluster with these requirements:

– Supports erasure coding storage policy

– Minimized inaccessibility from single device failures

– Ability to re-protect data after a failure

The desired configuration should be able to survive a single failure.

Which configuration satisfies the design requirements?
A . 3-node hybrid vSAN cluster
B . 4-node hybrid vSAN cluster
C . 4-node all-flash vSAN cluster
D . 5-node all-flash vSAN cluster

Answer: D
