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?
An architect is currently working with a customer to transform their existing ESXi hosts to vSAN nodes. The customer expressed the following requirements.
• First phase will transform 50% of the hosts to a hybrid vSAN nodes.
• Second phase will transform the remaining 50% hosts to an All-Flash vSAN nodes.
The following constraint exists:
• Each host has a 4-port x 1 GbE network interface.
Which two recommendations should the architect make to align with the customer's requirements? (Choose two.)
Due to an update in their security requirements, an organization is no longer compliant because the metadata traffic between hosts in their vSAN cluster is not being encrypted.
Which step must be taken by the administrator to meet the new security requirements?
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.)
In a vSAN stretched cluster, which value must be set in the vSAN policy if there is no requirement for data mirroring across sites?
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?
An organization has two vSAN clusters managed by the same vCenter server, each providing 100 TB of storage. The first cluster runs at 75% of its storage capacity, and the second cluster runs at 40% of its storage capacity.
The company also has the following:
• an iSCSI array of 300 TB, which runs at 76% of its capacity
• a NAS system of 200 TB, which runs at 10% of its capacity
• a Fiber channel (FC) array of 300 TB, which runs at 80% of its capacity
The administrator is asked to add an additional 25 TB of storage to the first cluster but 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?
Upon checking the latency goal under vSAN performance diagnostics, the vSAN Administrator sees this message displayed:
The increase in latency in the vSAN stack might be beyond expected limits.
Which two root causes can be identified to help remediate the issue? (Choose two.)
An administrator of “vsan-prod” cluster noticed the witness components of VMs are flagged as absent after a failed attempt to replace the vSAN Witness Host.
Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?
A customer has upgraded to vSAN 7, but there is still an existing legacy host which must be removed from the vSAN cluster.
Which three steps must an administrator take to successfully remove this host from the vSAN cluster? (Choose three.)
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.)
In a stretched vSAN cluster, how is Read Locality established after fail over to the secondary site?
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 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.)
An architect is working with vSAN and setting the fault domains to support FTT=1.
How many fault domains will be needed?
A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.
During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:
* The VMware vCenter Server has recently been upgraded from VMware vSphere 6.7 U3 to version 7.0 U1.
* The vSAN Cluster was recently expanded with identical hardware specification, but from a different hardware vendor.
* The hardware for each vSAN node is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) for vSAN 7.
* The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:
- vSAN version: 6.6.1
- Number of vSAN nodes: 10
- Encryption: enabled
- Deduplication and Compression: enabled
- vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%
* Each vSAN node has the following configuration:
- VMware vSphere ESXi version: 6.5 Update 3
- CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores
- RAM: 768GB RAM.
- Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs
- Network: 4 x 10GbE
Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure all data remains protected in the event of a vSAN failure? (Choose three.)
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.)
An administrator is tasked with setting up Kerberos authentication only for the vSAN File services.
Which version of Kerberos must be selected if the NFS version is v4.1?
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?
