QuestionQ117

Performance-tuning, Optimization, and Upgrades

An administrator finds that VM space usage does not decrease after files and folders are deleted within the VMs. The administrator needs to reclaim that space.

Which action could the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

  • A Set the Object Space Reservation rule to 100%
  • B Enable TRIM/UNMAP for the vSAN cluster
  • C Reboot the VM to recreate the swap file
  • D Disable Storage I/O Control for the vSAN cluster
Explanation

TRIM/UNMAP allows the guest operating system to identify virtual-disk blocks that are no longer in use, allowing vSAN to reclaim their underlying capacity. vSAN TRIM/UNMAP must be enabled at the cluster level for this space-reclamation path to operate.
