Dell EMC Specialist – Implementation Engineer, vSAN Ready Nodes — Question 38

Which administrator tasks are needed to increase the size of a VMFS datastore without the use of the VSI plugin, mounted to an external ESXi host?

Answer options

• A. Change the volume size in PowerStore Manager and refresh the size of the datastore in vSphere
• B. Change the volume size in PowerStore Manager and restart the VASA service in vSphere
• C. Change the size of the datastore in vSphere and refresh the size of the volume in PowerStore Manager
• D. Change the size of the datastore in vSphere and restart the VAAI service in PowerStore Manager

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because changing the volume size in PowerStore Manager and refreshing the datastore size in vSphere will ensure that the new size is recognized by the ESXi host. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they involve unnecessary actions or incorrect services that do not directly relate to updating the datastore size.
