QuestionQ111

Performance-tuning, Optimization, and Upgrades

A vSAN administrator has received a provisioning request that requires increasing vSAN cluster capacity by 25%.

Knowing that Storage Pools are in use, with 7 devices per ESXi host, what must the vSAN administrator do after the additional devices are received?

  • A Add the devices directly to the storage pool and vSAN will automatically rebalance
  • B Create a new disk group because the limit of 7 devices has been reached
  • C Add the devices to the storage pool and schedule a maintenance window for rebalancing
  • D Create a new storage pool then rebalance the capacity across the cluster
Explanation

vSAN ESA uses a single storage pool per host rather than OSA disk groups, so the seven-device disk-group limit is irrelevant. Additional eligible devices are added directly to the existing storage pool, allowing vSAN to distribute capacity across the cluster.
