Which configuration will satisfy these requirements?

An architect is tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain cluster to support the HR system.

The default storage policy must satisfy the following requirements:

• Support two host failures

• Use the least amount of hosts

• Maximize user capacity

Which configuration will satisfy these requirements?
A . 4 Hosts, FFT=2, RAID 5/6
B . 5 Hosts, FFT=2, RAID 1
C . 4 Hosts, FTT=2, RAID 1
D . 5 Hosts, FFT=2. RAID 5/6

View Answer

Answer: D

Explanation:

To satisfy the given requirements for the default storage policy in a new VI Workload Domain cluster, the configuration should be:

5 Hosts

FTT (Failures To Tolerate) = 2

RAID 5/6 (Erasure Coding)

This configuration supports two host failures while using the least number of hosts (5) and maximizing user capacity by utilizing RAID 5/6, which provides better storage efficiency than RAID 1. Note that there is a typo in the options (FFT should be FTT).
