VMware Site Recovery Manager (2025) — Question 8

An administrator is responsible for managing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) solution. A vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) cluster currently runs workloads using a storage policy configured with RAID-6. The administrator has been tasked with enabling auto-policy management in vSAN ESA.
Given the scenario, what is the minimum number of hosts required for running workloads with RAID-6?

Answer options

Correct answer: A

Explanation

To implement RAID-6, a minimum of 6 hosts is necessary to ensure sufficient fault tolerance and data redundancy. Options B (4), C (8), and D (2) do not meet the minimum host requirement for RAID-6, which protects against two simultaneous drive failures.
