VMware Data Center Virtualization Fundamentals — Question 46
Which datastore type can be extended to span several physical storage extents, including storage Area Network LUNs and local storage devices, in order to create a datastore that fits the needs of your virtual machines?
Answer options
- A. Virtual SAN
- B. NFS
- C. iSCSI
- D. VMFS Datastores
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is VMFS Datastores because they are designed to support the aggregation of multiple storage devices, including SAN LUNs and local storage, which allows for flexible and scalable storage solutions for virtual machines. In contrast, Virtual SAN is a hyper-converged storage solution, NFS is a file-based protocol, and iSCSI is a block storage protocol, none of which provide the same level of extensibility across diverse storage extents as VMFS does.
