VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 65

The following requirements were identified in an architecture workshop for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) design project using vSAN as the primary storage solution.

REQ001: The application must maintain a minimum of 1,000 transactions per second (TPS) during business hours, excluding disaster recovery (DR) scenarios.
REQ002: Automatic DRS and HA must be utilized.
REQ003: Planned maintenance must be performed outside of business hours.

While monitoring the TPS of the application, which of the following is NOT a valid test case to validate these requirements?

Answer options

• A. Trigger a vSAN disk group cache drive failure.
• B. Trigger a vSphere High Availability (HA) failover activity.
• C. Trigger a vCenter upgrade workflow.
• D. Trigger fully automatic DRS vMotion activity.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as triggering a vCenter upgrade workflow does not directly relate to the application's TPS or the operational requirements set forth. Options A, B, and D all test scenarios that could impact the TPS and validate the application's performance under different conditions defined in the requirements.
