VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 14
A customer has a database cluster running in a VCF cluster with the following characteristics:
40/60 Read/Write ratio
High IOPS requirement -
No contention on an all-flash OSA vSAN cluster in a VI Workload Domain
Which two vSAN configuration options should be configured for best performance? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. RAID 1
- B. Deduplication and Compression enabled
- C. RAID 5
- D. Flash Read cache reservation
- E. Deduplication and Compression disabled
Correct answer: A, E
Explanation
The correct answer includes RAID 1, which provides excellent performance for workloads with a high read/write ratio by ensuring data is mirrored across disks. Deduplication and Compression disabled is also correct as it avoids the additional overhead that can impact performance, especially for workloads requiring high IOPS. The other options either introduce performance overhead or are not suited for the specified workload characteristics.
