Which two outcomes will occur within the vSAN cluster following this action?

An administrator has successfully deployed a new 3-node vSAN Cluster. Prior to deploying any production workloads on to the new cluster, the administrator must complete a number of Service Validation and Testing (SVT) checks.

The final check requires the administrator to pull out a disk from one of the vSAN hosts.

Which two outcomes will occur within the vSAN cluster following this action? (Choose two.)
A . By default. vSAN will delay the rebuilding of affected components for 60 minutes.
B. All components on the device will be marked as absent.
C. By default. vSAN will start the rebuilding of affected components immediately.
D. By default vSAN will delay the rebuilding of affected components for 30 minutes.
E. All components on the device will be marked as degraded.

Answer: B,E

Explanation:

When a disk is removed from a vSAN host, vSAN recognizes the absence of the disk and marks all components (objects and components that were stored on the disk) as either absent or degraded, depending on the level of redundancy and the specific policy settings.

The absence state indicates that the components are not accessible and need to be rebuilt or recovered. The degraded state indicates that the components are still accessible, but the level of redundancy is reduced, and the cluster is operating in a degraded state until the missing disk is replaced and the components are rebuilt.

Option A (By default, vSAN will delay the rebuilding of affected components for 60 minutes) and Option D (By default, vSAN will delay the rebuilding of affected components for 30 minutes) are not accurate. By default, vSAN starts the rebuilding process immediately after a disk is removed, rather than delaying it.

Therefore, the correct options are B and E.
