Question 1
During yesterday's business hours, a cache drive failed on one of the vSAN OSA 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 the 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. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically create a new disk group. Then, remove the disk group with the failed device.
- B. 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.
- C. 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
- D. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically allocate the storage. Then, rebalance the cache layer.
Answer:
C

Answer:

Question 3
An administrator has deployed a new vSAN OSA cluster that contains eight hosts and needs to

A vSAN administrator has recently upgraded a vSAN cluster to 8.0 OSA and has enabled Capacity
Reserve features to reduce the amount of capacity reserved for transient and rebuild operations.
Which scenario would prevent this feature from operating properly?
- A. Underutilized space is above 25-30% of the total capacity threshold.
- B. The used space on vSAN datastore exceeds the suggested host rebuild threshold.
- C. The used space on vSAN datastore exceeds the suggested slack rebuild threshold.
- D. The physical disk has reached an 80% full reactive rebalance threshold.
Answer:
B
Question 6
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. Disable the performance service
- B. Disable the alarm from the HTML client
- C. Run performance diagnostics prior to scheduled maintenance
- D. Disable SNMP service
Answer:
B
Question 7
Which two considerations should an architect assess when designing a HCI Mesh solution with
VMware vSAN and VMware vSphere High Availability (HA)? (Choose two.)
- A. A server vSAN cluster can serve its local datastore up to five client vSAN clusters.
- B. A client cluster can mount up to ten remote datastores from one or more vSAN server clusters.
- C. A minimum of three nodes are required within the client cluster for vSphere HA to work
- D. If vSphere HA is to work with HCI Mesh, Datastore with Permanent Device Loss (PDL) must be confiqured to Power off and restart VMs.
- E. If vSphere HA is to work with HCI Mesh, Datastore with All Paths Down (APD) must be configured to Power off and restart VMs.
Answer:
A, B
Question 8
A vSAN administrator has an existing cluster where each ESXi host has the following:
Disk group #1 with one cache device and three capacity devices.
Disk group #2 with one cache device and two capacity devices.
What must the vSAN administrator do to expand disk group #2 to have three capacity devices?
- A. Create a new disk group with a single capacity device and then migrate the existing capacity devices
- B. Add the new capacity device to the disk group and vSAN will automatically rebalance
- C. Put the entire ESXi host in maintenance mode, evacuate all data, then add the new capacity device
- D. Put the disk group in maintenance mode, evacuate all data, then add the new capacity device
Answer:
B
Question 9
A vSAN administrator was presented with 30 additional vSAN ReadyNodes to add to an existing vSAN
cluster. There is only one administrator to complete this task.
What is the fastest approach?
- A. Run vim-cmd to capture, and apply the configuration from an existing host
- B. Launch Quickstart to Add Hosts to a vSAN Cluster
- C. Clone the ESXi boot partition to all new hosts, since the hardware is identical
- D. Use a Host Profile that was extracted from an existing host
Answer:
D
Question 10
When adding a disk to a host that was previously used in a decommissioned vSAN cluster the
intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management.
Which action should be taken prior to assigning the disk on disk management?
- A. Format the existing partition
- B. Create a 1GB metadata partition
- C. Delete all device partitions
- D. Create a VMFS partition
Answer:
C
Question 11
A host in a vSAN stretched cluster goes offline during an unplanned event.
Which action will be triggered from AQC on the vSAN cluster?
- A. AQC will trigger a vMotion of VMs that went offline.
- B. AQC will restart the VMs that went offline.
- C. AQC will recalculate the quorum on an object.
- D. AQC will create a vSAN alarm.
Answer:
C
Question 12
A customer has deployed a new vSAN Cluster with the following configuration:
6 x vSAN ReadyNodes
All Flash
12 TB Raw Storage
vSAN 8 is deployed with ESA.
VMs are configured with a RAID-5 VM policy.
During failure testing, before the new platform is placed into production one of the ESXi hosts is
made unavailable.
Which RAID-5 data placement schemes will vSAN use with this failure condition?
- A. vSAN can protect the platform using adaptive RAID 5 if the ESXi host fails to return
- B. VMware HA will migrate the storage objects to another node in the cluster

Question 14
A vSAN administrator encounters a non-compliant virtual machine and the compliance status of

What will vSAN do with the virtual machine?
- A. Mark the virtual machine as compliant and automatically recover the noncompliant objects
- B. Power off the virtual machine
- C. Mark the virtual machine as inaccessible as vSAN is not able to locate more than 60% of the votes for the objects

Question 15
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, and 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 Add-on.

the NIC before remediation?

- B. Add an individual component to the vLCM image that has the updated NIC driver
- C. Remove the Vendor Add-on from the vLCM image, and then manually install the network driver on the servers
- D. Modify the vLCM image to omit the NIC Driver, and then manually update the servers with the required NIC driver

B
