VMware vSAN Administrator (2025) — Question 9

The following requirements were gathered during the customer workshops:
For critical transactional database workloads, the solution must provide low-latency and high performance storage to support processing of real-time financial transactions.
For all non-critical workloads, the solution must provide the most efficient capacity utilization.
Which three design decisions would the architect make to meet the requirements for the workload domain cluster? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-1) for all workloads.
• B. Deploy a vSAN ESA cluster with a minimum of 6 nodes.
• C. Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-5) for all critical transactional database workloads.
• D. Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-5/6) for all non-critical workloads.
• E. Deploy a vSAN OSA (All-NVMe) cluster with a minimum of 4 nodes.
• F. Configure vSAN Policies (RAID-1) for all critical transactional database workloads.

Correct answer: B, D, F

Explanation

The correct choices are B, D, and F because deploying a vSAN ESA cluster with a minimum of 6 nodes ensures sufficient resources for low-latency performance. Configuring RAID-5/6 for non-critical workloads optimizes capacity utilization, while using RAID-1 for critical workloads ensures high availability and performance. Options A, C, and E do not fully align with the requirements for performance and capacity efficiency.
