NO.14 A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1. The company wants to ensure that the same vSAN process can be used in the future.
During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:
* The vCenter Server is currently version 7.0.
* The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:
– vSAN version: 7.0
– Number of vSAN nodes: 6
– Encryption: enabled
– Deduplication and Compression: enabled
– Fault Domains: 1
– vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%
* Each vSAN node has the following configuration:
– ESXi version: VMware vSphere 7.0
– CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores
– RAM: 1024GB RAM.
– Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs
– Network: 4 x 10GbE
* All current hardware (which is from a single vendor) is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide for vSAN 7.
Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure that the vSAN cluster upgrade is completed? (Choose three.)

NO.15 An administrator is tasked with preparing for a Cross vCenter migration in a stretched vSAN cluster where the virtual machines migration will be orchestrated via VMware Site Recovery Manager.
Which action should the administrator take so the migration is successful?

NO.16 An architect collected the below technical requirements from the customer during a vSAN cluster design workshop:
* Maximize the vSAN datastore usable capacity.
* Deduplication and compression are required to help utilize available capacity efficiency.
* Ensure the highest level of resiliency wherever possible.
Which disk group configuration should the architect include in the design?

NO.17 Which statement accurately describes the result when proper VM Storage Policy Affinity Rules on a stretched vSAN cluster are set?

NO.18 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.)

NO.19 An architect needs to automate an infrastructure that supports VMware Horizon as well as VMware Tanzu.
Which solution mandates the use of VMware vSAN?

NO.20 An administrator has been tasked with enabling encryption for existing virtual machines on a vSAN cluster.
Which three prerequisites must be satisfied before completing the task? (Choose three.)

NO.21 An architect collected the below technical requirements from the customer during a vSAN cluster design workshop:
* Maximize the vSAN datastore usable capacity.
* Deduplication and compression are required to help utilize available capacity efficiency.
* Ensure the highest level of resiliency wherever possible.
Which disk group configuration should the architect include in the design?

NO.22 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?

NO.23 An administrator is tasked with migrating a VMware Horizon View environment that is currently running on an NFS Datastore to VMware vSAN.
Which Horizon configuration option will not be available when configuring vSAN in Horizon View?

NO.24 A customer is planning to migrate their physical Microsoft SQL Server clustered workloads to vSAN enabled vSphere clusters.
The following requirements must be met:
* Each MSSQL cluster is made up of 3 nodes
* Highest possible availability against node failures
* Some of the vSAN clusters will only consume storage
What should the architect recommend?

NO.25 An 8-Node vSAN Stretched Cluster (4+4+1) with a single disk group has a policy with PFTT=1 (mirrored across sites) and SFTT=1/FTM Mirroring (Local Protection) configured.
The administrator has been alerted that there is a problem with the cluster. The following has been observed:
* The vSAN Witness Host is offline.
* Two disk failures on two hosts have occurred in the preferred site.
This has resulted in a critical production virtual machine’s vmdk becoming inaccessible.
Which step needs to be performed by the administrator to resolve the issue?

NO.26 An administrator has been tasked to reboot a node in an encrypted vSAN cluster. The vSAN disk groups on that node become locked after rebooting the node.
Which step should be performed to exit the locked state?

NO.27 An organization has two vSAN clusters managed by the same vCenter Server, each providing 100TB of storage. The first cluster runs at 75% of its storage capacity, and the second cluster runs at 50% of its storage capacity.
The company also has the following:
* An iSCSI array of 300TB. which runs at 76% of its capacity
* A NAS system of 200TB, which runs at 10% of its capacity
* A Fiber channel (FC) array of 300TB, which runs at 80% of its capacity The administrator is asked to add an additional 25TB of storage to the first cluster. The administrator is also made aware that there is no budget to purchase new hardware and that the vSAN Storage Policy Based Management must be kept in place.
Which storage option will work for this use case?

NO.28 An administrator is tasked with sharing storage from one vSAN cluster to another vSAN cluster. SPBM management must be preserved end-to-end, and the policy must be applied by the source vSAN cluster which is storing the dat a. Both vSAN clusters are managed by the same vCenter server.
What should the administrator configure?

NO.29 An architect is working with an All-Flash vSAN configuration and will be using the Flash Caching Devices in vSAN.
Which requirement is specifically needed for these devices?

NO.30 data centers, the customer relayed the following information:
* Highest possible mitigation during a host failure in terms of capacity.
* A constraint in this year’s IT budget.
What should the architect recommend?

NO.31 An administrator is planning to deploy cloud-native workloads onto the vSAN Direct datastore.
Which storage policy structure rule is supported?

NO.32 An administrator has an absent capacity disk.
Which action, if any, should the administrator take to resolve the problem?

NO.33 An architect is working with an All-Flash vSAN configuration and will be using the Flash Caching Devices in vSAN.
Which requirement is specifically needed for these devices?

NO.34 An administrator is tasked to create a custom storage policy for workloads and is including additional disk stripes while defining the storage policy.
What is the main purpose of this practice?
