Question 1

An administrator is troubleshooting vSAN performance issues, and the performance diagnostics reports:

"There are errors seen in one or more physical NICs on one or more hosts."

Which two problems must be resolved to fix this issue? (Choose two.)

Options:

A.

A 25 Gb/s NIC needs to be installed.

B.

There are incompatible firmware and driver versions.

C.

Question 2

An administrator would like to upgrade ten identically configured 2-node vSAN clusters from vSAN 6.7 U3 to vSAN 7.0 U1. Currently, each 2-node vSAN cluster is using a dedicated vSAN witness host appliance. As a result of the upgrade, the administrator would like to leverage the vSAN shared witness feature to reduce the resources being consumed.

In preparation for the first vSAN cluster upgrade, the administrator has completed the following tasks:

1. Upgraded vCenter Server to vCenter Server 7.0 U1.

2. vSphere High Availability (HA) has been disabled on the vSAN Cluster.

3. Upgraded the vSAN witness host appliance to vSphere 7.0 U1.

4. Upgraded both vSAN data nodes to vSphere 7.0 U1.

The key requirement is to ensure that backwards compatibility to the existing version of vSAN is maintained during the upgrade process.

Which three additional steps should the administrator complete to ensure that subsequent clusters can share the same vSAN Witness? (Choose three.)

Options:

A.

Upgrade the vSAN On-Disk Format (ODF) to version 12.

B.

Manually update the vSAN Witness with a vSAN 7 license key.

C.

Update the vSAN cluster to use the new vSAN witness host appliance.

D.

Configure the existing witness host appliance to act as a shared witness.

Question 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:

* 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.

Options:

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 19

A cache disk failure marked a vSAN disk group as failed, and the data is being rebuilt on other disk groups.

Which action should the vSAN administrator take to reduce the negative impact on the VMs?

Options:

A.

Enabling Resync Throttling

B.

Enabling Maintenance mode with no data evacuation

C.

Enabling automatic rebalance

D.

Setting the vSAN policy’s IOPS limit for object value to 0 (unlimited)
