VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 44

An architect is updating a design document in preparation for an expansion of their organization's existing VCF environment. Following the completion of a capacity assessment, a cluster will be expanded to support the hosting of future application deployments. Due to the length of time that has passed since the deployment of the existing solution, identical hardware is no longer available for purchase and a newer model from the same vendor has been selected.
What should the architect include within the design documentation based on this approach?

Answer options

• A. A constraint that the same hardware vendor as the existing hosts must be used
• B. A requirement that the cluster must use diverse hardware vendors
• C. A risk that identical hardware is no longer available for purchase
• D. An assumption that the cluster will provide sufficient capacity for the applications

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because it highlights the issue that the identical hardware is no longer available, which is a critical factor in the design process. Options A and B are incorrect as they suggest restrictions or requirements that are not relevant to the situation at hand. Option D is also incorrect because it assumes capacity without addressing the current hardware limitation.
