VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x Administrator (2025) — Question 26

An administrator needs to ensure that specific virtual machines within a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment use storage that can tolerate at least two host failures within a vSAN cluster. Due to financial limitations, the configuration used must prioritize providing the highest level of usable disk space for the datastore.
Which three steps should be performed to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Reconfigure the existing Default Storage Policy in the vSphere Client.
• B. Apply the storage policy to the target VMs.
• C. Set Failures to Tolerate to "2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)" in the policy configuration.
• D. Create a new VM Storage Policy in the vSphere Client.
• E. Set Failures to Tolerate to "2 failures - RAID-1 (Mirroring)" in the policy configuration.
• F. Configure the policy to use thin provisioning.

Correct answer: B, C, D

Explanation

The correct options are B, C, and D. Option B is necessary to apply the storage policy to the chosen VMs, while C ensures that the policy is set to tolerate two host failures using RAID-6, which offers better usable space than RAID-1. Option D is essential for creating a new storage policy tailored to these requirements. The other options either modify existing settings or do not align with the need for maximizing usable disk space while ensuring fault tolerance.
