During planned maintenance of a four-node vSAN cluster, an outsourced IT contractor accidentally removed a 2.5" SSD cache disk from one of the vSAN nodes. The storage policy has been configured with FTT=1 RAID 1, and the disk management UI marked the disk group as absent.

Which remediation steps should the administrator select to ensure VMs become compliant with the storage policy as soon as possible?

A. replace the SSD cache disk > rescan > add disk back in disk group

B. enter host in maintenance > remove from disk group > shutdown host > replace disk > power on host

C. remove disk group > enter host in maintenance > fully evacuate all data > exit maintenance

D. vSAN Health Check > retest > object health > repair objects immediately

A higher level of resiliency has been requested for an existing vSAN Stretched Cluster. A key requirement will be the addition of a third site to protect against a potential double site failure of the two mirrored sites in the stretched cluster. What solution would meet the resiliency requirement?

A. Replicate to the third site at the VM level using vSphere Replication.

B. Configure vSAN Stretched Cluster with FTT=2 to replicate to the third site.

C. Add the third site to the existing vSAN Stretched Cluster.

D. Replicate to the third site at the vSAN datastore level using Site Recovery Manager.

An administrator would like to put a vSAN host in an existing vSAN Cluster in maintenance mode. vMotion is configured and DRS is set to Fully Automated and all other advanced settings are their defaults.

The administrator uses this PowerCLI command:

Set-VMHost -VMHost "esxi-host01.corp.local" -State "Maintenance"

What is the default behavior?

A. Virtual machines will be live migrated and all storage objects residing on this host will migrate to another host that is not in maintenance mode.

B. Virtual machines will be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will be migrated if it is required to be accessible.

C. Virtual machines will be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will not migrate regardless of policy and state.

D. Virtual machines will not be live migrated to another host not in maintenance mode and storage objects will be migrated if it is required to be accessible.

Refer to the exhibit.

There are three hosts in a vSAN cluster. All virtual machines in the cluster are assigned a storage policy with failures to tolerate set to 1 failure ?RAID-1 (Mirroring).

What is the result of placing a host in maintenance mode using the options shown in the image?

A. The host will enter maintenance mode. A reduced redundancy warning is displayed.

B. The host will not enter maintenance mode. The administrator is prompted to select a different data migration option.

C. The host will not enter maintenance mode. A general vSAN error is reported.

D. The host will enter maintenance mode. All powered-off and suspended VMs are migrated to other hosts.

An administrator wants to orchestrate the update of the controller driver and firmware in a vSAN cluster.

Which is a required step when using VMware vSphere Update Manager and vSAN Health Service to perform the updates?

A. Upload an OEM provided vSphere ISO.

B. Install a vendor tool for the controller.

C. Manually create a vSAN system baseline.

D. Ensure all controllers are in pass-through mode.
