Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Elastic Cloud Storage — Question 34

As a VxRail administrator, you discover that one of the nodes in your cluster has a hardware issue. Dell EMC support will be arriving to replace the node. You have a vCenter Standard license on this vCenter.
You need to place the node into maintenance mode, and migrate the data prior to replacement. Which migration option should you use?

Answer options

• A. DRS will automatically handle the migration
• B. Ensure data accessibility from other hosts
• C. Evacuate all data to other hosts
• D. No data evacuation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as evacuating all data to other hosts ensures that there is no data loss during the maintenance process. Option A is incorrect because DRS does not automatically handle maintenance mode for hardware issues without manual intervention. Option B is also not sufficient since it only addresses data accessibility but does not involve migration. Option D is wrong because not evacuating data could lead to issues during the node replacement.
