Question 1

Question 2

Question 3

Which two prerequisites are required before a vSAN administrator is able to use the vSAN Performance Diagnostics feature? (Choose two.)

A The vSAN Performance Service must be enabled.
B The vSAN Health Service must be turned on.
C vSAN File Services must be disabled before running vSAN Performance Diagnostics.
D Participation in the Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) must be enabled.
E Verbose Mode must be enabled when configuring vSAN monitoring.

Question 4

During yesterday's business hours, a cache drive failed on one of the vSAN nodes. The administrator reached out to the manufacturer and received a replacement drive the following day. When the drive failed, vSAN started a resync to ensure the health of data, and all objects are showing a healthy and compliant state. The vSAN administrator needs to replace the failed cache drive.
Which set of steps should the vSAN administrator take?

A Remove the existing vSAN disk group, and physically replace the device. Then, check to verify that the ESXi host automatically detects the new device. Afterwards, manually recreate the Disk Group.
B Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically create a new disk group. Then, remove the disk group with the failed device.
C Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically allocate the storage. Then, rebalance the cache layer.
D Place the disk group into maintenance mode, and select Full Data Migration. Then, physically replace the failed cache device. Afterwards, vSAN will rebuild the disk group automatically.

Question 5

Which tool should be used to identify vSAN unassociated objects?

A vSphere Host Client
B vSphere CLI
C vsantop
D PowerCLI

Question 6

Which two actions are recommended when adding a host to a vSAN cluster? (Choose two.)

A Disable vSphere High Availability (HA).
B Create uniformly-configured hosts.
C Reference the VMware Compatibility Guide.
D Disable vSphere Cluster Services (vCLS).
E Disable vSAN performance service.

Question 7

Which Storage Policy Structure Rule is supported by vSAN Direct Datastore?

A Enable tag/capacity-based placement rules
B Enable host-based rules
C Enable rules for vSAN storage
D Enable storage performance-based rules

Question 8

After a recent security assessment, the security team recommended that vSAN encryption be enabled. The vSAN administrator will be adding a Key Management
Server to vCenter.
What is a prerequisite to taking this action?

A IPv6 addressing
B Proxy server with username and password access
C Self-encryption drives
D Cryptographer ManageKeyServer permissions

Question 9

A vSAN administrator is using the vSAN ReadyNode Sizer to build a new environment. While entering the cluster configurations, a fellow colleagues inquire about the Operations Reserve option.
What is the purpose of using this option?

A Configures space for external operations
B Provides space for internal operations
C Reserves space for tolerating failures
D Allocates space for vSAN upgrades

Question 10

A 100GB virtual disk object has this storage policy assigned to it:
✑ Site disaster tolerance: None - standard cluster
✑ Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)
✑ Number of disk stripes per object: 3
What is the maximum amount of raw vSAN storage capacity consumed by this virtual disk?

A 200GB
B 100GB
C 300GB
D 600GB

Question 11

An administrator has deployed a development VMware vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster. It will be used by the development teams to deploy a mixture of cloud-native stateful applications alongside a combination virtual machine and Kubernetes workloads.
Which vSAN feature should be configured for the vSAN Data Persistence platform (vDPp)?

A vSAN Cloud Native Storage
B vSAN File Services
C vSAN with Shared Nothing Architecture (SNA)
D vSAN Direct

Question 12

Skyline Health vSAN HCL DB up-to-date health check is alerting in red in a newly deployed vCenter Server.
Which two options are the possible solutions for this problem? (Choose two.)

A Obtain the HCL DB offline bundle from vmware.com, and manually update it.
B Upgrade to the latest version of vCenter.
C Upgrade the HCL DB from the hardware vendor website.
D Obtain the HCL DB from the hardware vendor, and manually update it.
E Update the HCL DB online from vmware.com.

Question 13

After a recent data loss event, the IT department plans to deploy a DR site using vSphere Replication with vSAN providing the storage backend.
The architect would like to know how many components will be created based on the following configuration:
✑ 2x 100 GB VMDK
✑ RAID 1 vSAN Storage Policy
✑ 4x Point in Time snapshots
How many components will be created?

A 32
B 24
C 16
D 8

A Add additional hosts, with capacity devices only, and then stream the cache from the other hosts.
B Add cache and capacity devices to the compute-only hosts.
C Add additional cache and capacity devices to the existing data nodes.
D Add additional compute-only hosts from the vSAN cluster.
E Add to the existing disk groups two cache devices and the eight capacity devices.

An administrator is tasked with configuring vSAN Cloud Native Storage.
Which two requirements must be met for a successful configuration? (Choose two.)
