Dell EMC Specialist – Systems Administrator, Elastic Cloud Storage — Question 74

A VxRail deployment has eight nodes. The VxRail administrator does not find any compatible datastores when trying to create a storage policy with FTT=2 and FTM=Erasure Coding.

What is the likely reason?

Answer options

• A. vSAN datastore used capacity is above 80%
• B. Erasure coding is only supported on all-flash systems
• C. vSAN capacity reserve has been enabled
• D. Fault domains have not been configured yet

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because enabling a vSAN capacity reserve can restrict the availability of datastores for certain configurations like FTT=2 and FTM=Erasure Coding. The other options are incorrect as having capacity above 80% does not directly prevent datastore creation, Erasure coding is supported on hybrid systems as well, and fault domains being unconfigured does not directly impact the ability to create the policy.
