Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

A customer is planning to deploy a vSAN cluster to host their in-house distributed ERP system. The hardware specifications for their server nodes include:
✑ 2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2697 v3 @ 2.60GHz
✑ 1TB memory
Which boot device is supported for the vSAN ESXi nodes for this customer?

A A 16GB single-level cell (SLC) SATADOM device must be used.
B A 4GB USB or SD device must be used.
C A 16GB multiple-level cell (MLC) SATADOM device must be used.
D ESXi Hosts must boot from a PMEM device.

Question 4

A company hosts a vSAN 7 stretched cluster for all development workloads. The original sizing of a maximum of 250 concurrent workloads in the vSAN cluster is no longer sufficient and needs to increase to at least 500 concurrent workloads within the next six months.
To meet this demand, the original 8-node (4-4-1) cluster has recently been expanded to 16 nodes (8-8-1).
Which three additional steps should the administrator take to support the current growth plans while minimizing the amount of resources required at the witness site? (Choose three.)

A Add the new vSAN witness appliance to vCenter Server.
B Deploy a new large vSAN witness appliance at the witness site.
C Configure the vSAN stretched cluster to use the new vSAN witness.
D Deploy a new extra large vSAN witness appliance at the witness site.
E Upgrade the vSAN stretched cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.
F Configure the new vSAN witness as a shared witness appliance.

Question 5

Upon investigating a workload performance issue, a vSAN administrator observed a high backend IOPs on a vSAN cluster.
Which two causes explain this behavior? (Choose two.)

A The cluster DRS threshold has been set to Aggressive.
B There is a vSAN node failure.
C The vSAN Resync throttling is enabled.
D The object repair timer value has been increased.
E The vSAN policy protection level has changed from FTT=0 to FTT=1.

Question 6

An architect is designing for a production vSAN cluster, and the customer introduced these requirements related to File Services:
✑ A minimum of 12 files shares.
✑ 30TB NFS capacity to mount workload VMs.
What should be the architect's recommendations?

A Point out the risks regarding putting the hosts in maintenance mode in terms of FSVM.
B Confirm on all of the requirements and move forward with the physical design.
C Raise concerns regarding support when running VMs on an NFS share as risk.
D Highlight the required number of nodes required for the vSAN cluster as a constraint.

Question 7

Due to the success of the recently deployed developer-only private cloud solution, a company has a new requirement to at least double the usable capacity in their all-flash vSAN cluster.
The vSAN cluster is deployed into a co-located datacenter that is owned by a third-party hosting company. The hosting company charges a fixed monthly cost for rack space and power consumption. The service owner has been given a limited budget for additional hardware purchases, but not for on-going co-location costs.
The current vSAN cluster has the following configuration:
✑ 10 vSAN Nodes with 2 CPUs (20 cores), 512 GB RAM
✑ 1 Disk Group per vSAN node

1 x 400 GB
4 x 1.8 TB
✑ De-duplication and Compression is enabled.
✑ vSAN Capacity is currently:
Total: 72 TB
Usable: ~40 TB (FTT1/RAID1) and ~60 TB (FTT1/RAID5).
As a result of any action taken, the service owner would like to ensure that overall availability of the vSAN cluster is increased.
Which two recommendations meet the requirement to increase capacity while maintaining service availability? (Choose two.)

A Install an additional 400 GB SSD and 4 x 1.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.
B Update the existing Disk Group, and claim the newly installed drives for each node.
C Create a new Disk Group, and claim the newly installed cache and capacity SSD drives for each node.
D Install an additional 3 x 1.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.
E Replace existing SSDs with an 800 GB SSD and 4 x 3.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.

Question 8

An administrator has received an alert indicating that a single capacity device is close to failing within the production vSAN Cluster. The administrator must now complete preemptive maintenance on the vSAN Cluster without impacting the availability of workloads or vSAN File Services.
The following information is known about the vSAN Cluster:
✑ vSAN 7.x Cluster
✑ vSAN node count: 8
✑ De-Duplication and Compression: Enabled.
✑ Encryption: Disabled
Current Utilization: 45%

Question Image

✑ Disk Groups: 2
✑ Devices per node: 2 x 400 GB SSD, 6 x 1.8 TB SSD
Which three steps should the administrator take to successfully complete the task? (Choose three.)

A Remove the affected Disk Group from the vSAN Cluster, and choose Full Data Migration.
B Replace the failed disk with a storage device that is identical in class and capacity.
C Remove the affected Disk Group from the vSAN Cluster, and choose No Data Migration.
D Replace the failed disk with a storage device that is identical in class but smaller in capacity.
E Put the affected vSAN host into maintenance mode to physically replace the storage device.
F Remove the affected Disk from the Disk Group, and choose Full Data Migration.

Question 9

After a vSAN Witness Appliance network configuration, the vSAN administrator notices that vSAN traffic flows from vmk0 (Management Traffic) rather than vmk1
(vSAN Traffic).
Which step should be taken to resolve this issue?

A Configure vmk0 with IP address on the same range as that of vmk1.
B Tag the vmk0 for vSAN traffic.
C Configure vmk1 with IP address on the different network than that of vmk0.
D Tag the vmk1 for Witness traffic.
