Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Elastic Cloud Storage — Question 132

In a VxRail stretched cluster deployment, what happens when network connectivity is lost between the data sites?

Answer options

• A. The stretched cluster will power down all virtual machines.
• B. The witness will choose the preferred site to remain active.
• C. The primary site will choose to be the preferred site and remain active.
• D. The secondary site will choose to be the preferred site and remain active.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

In a VxRail stretched cluster, if the connection between data sites is lost, the secondary site is designated to take over as the preferred site to ensure continuity. The other options are incorrect as they either suggest all VMs are powered down or incorrectly assign the preferred site role to the primary site or the witness.
