VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage Sample Questions:

1. An administrator has been tasked with deploying a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment that includes a Management Domain and two workload domains. Compliance regulations require that production and non-production workloads reside in separate failure domains, with the production workload environment using low-latency block storage and the non-production environment relying on high-capacity file-based storage.
Which combination of supported non-vSAN storage solutions should the administrator recommend to meet these requirements?

A) Management domain on VMFS over Fibre Channel, production workload domain on VMFS over NVMe/FC, and non-production workload domain on NFS v4.1
B) Management domain on local VMFS datastores, production workload domain on iSCSI, and non- production workload domain on NFS v3
C) Management domain on vVols over NFS, production workload domain on VMFS over iSCSI, and non- production workload domain on SMB
D) Management domain on vSAN ESA, production workload domain on vSAN HCI Mesh, and non- production workload domain on vSAN File Services

2. A six-node vSAN ESA cluster contains multiple Virtual Machines (VMs), and a vSAN storage policy with the rule "Failures to tolerate" set to "1 failure - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)" is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rule in the assigned policy to "2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)." What is the result of this change?

A) The changes are queued for 60 minutes.
B) The policy change is rejected immediately.
C) No changes occur until the policy is reapplied.
D) The updated policy is serially applied to the Virtual Machines.

3. vSAN encounters a noncompliant Virtual Machine and is able to locate a full replica of 55% of the votes for the noncompliant objects.
What action will vSAN do with the Virtual Machine?

A) Mark the Virtual Machine as orphaned.
B) Mark the Virtual Machine as inaccessible as vSAN is not able to locate more than 60% of the votes for the objects.
C) Power off the Virtual Machine.
D) Automatically recover the noncompliant objects and mark the Virtual Machine as compliant.

4. Select the storage capabilities supported for use with persistent volumes in the VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF).
Drag and drop the five supported capabilities from the vSphere Storage Capabilities list on the left and place them into the Supported Storage Capabilities list on the right in any order. (Choose five.)

5. An administrator is working on a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain that was configured to use vSAN for principal storage. The administrator wishes to create and configure a datastore cluster to host tenant VMs using that vSAN backed storage across multiple clusters, mixed OSA and ESA, in the domain.
What should the administrator consider?

A) vSAN OSA and ESA based datastores must be added to a datastore cluster tag and then selected as part of a single storage policy.
B) When using vSAN datastores, Datastore Clusters are not supported. Each VM must be placed manually on the vSAN datastore.
C) When using vSAN as the underlying datastore, an administrator must create the datastore cluster via vCenter APIs, include the vSAN datastore(s) in it, enable Storage DRS, and ensure the VM Storage Policies reference the appropriate vSAN-capable datastore.
D) A datastore cluster can combine different storage types, such as vSAN, FC, and NFS datastores, as long as they are in the same vCenter; Storage DRS will treat them uniformly.
