VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 23

An architect is tasked to updating the design for an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment to include four vSAN ESA ready nodes.
The existing deployment compromises of the following:
Four homogenous vSAN ESXi ready nodes in the management domain
Four homogenous ESXi nodes with iSCSI principal storage in workload domain A
What should the architect recommend when including this additional capacity for application workloads?

Answer options

• A. Create a new vLCM baseline workload domain with the four new nodes
• B. Create a new vLCM baseline cluster in the existing workload domain with the four new nodes
• C. Create a new vLCM image workload domain with the four new nodes
• D. Commission the four new nodes into the existing workload domain A cluster

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as creating a new vLCM image workload domain allows for the integration of the new vSAN ESA ready nodes specifically designed for application workloads. Options A and B suggest creating new baselines or clusters, which do not properly utilize the capabilities of the new nodes, and option D simply adds them to an existing cluster, which may not align with the desired architecture for workload management.
