QuestionQ97

Troubleshooting and Repairing

Objects in a four-node vSAN cluster have been assigned a RAID-5 policy. A network outage causes host one to lose connectivity to the rest of the cluster. Seventy-five minutes have passed.

What is the health state of the objects?

  • A Non-availability related incompliance (non-compliance)
  • B Reduced availability with no rebuild - delay timer
  • C Reduced availability with no rebuild
  • D Reduced availability
Explanation

An FTT=1 RAID-5 vSAN object requires a minimum of four hosts or fault domains. After one host is unavailable, the remaining three hosts can maintain accessibility but cannot rebuild the missing component into a policy-compliant RAID-5 layout. The default 60-minute repair-delay period has already elapsed after 75 minutes, so the state is reduced availability with no rebuild.
