QuestionQ116

Installing, Configuring, and Setup

An administrator has been asked to enable deduplication and compression in the existing vSAN cluster.

Which action must be completed before doing so?

  • A Ensure there is enough space to perform disk re-formatting operation
  • B Disable vSphere High Availability
  • C Confirm that all virtual machines were powered off on vSAN Datastore
  • D Turn off vSAN
Explanation

Enabling deduplication and compression on an existing vSAN OSA cluster requires a rolling disk-group reformat. vSAN evacuates data, removes each disk group, and recreates it with metadata that supports the feature, so sufficient capacity must be available for the reformatting operation.
