VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 12

Which tool is most appropriate for diagnosing and resolving a disk failure when using VMware vSAN with Deduplication enabled?

Answer options

• A. vSphere Client
• B. Aria Operations
• C. vSphere CLI (esxcli)
• D. vSAN Skyline Health

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The vSphere CLI (esxcli) is a command-line interface that allows for detailed management and troubleshooting of VMware environments, making it suitable for diagnosing disk failures. While vSphere Client and Aria Operations provide valuable management features, they are not specifically designed for low-level disk diagnostics. vSAN Skyline Health offers health checks but does not provide the same level of command-line troubleshooting capabilities as esxcli.
