VMware vSphere 8.x Professional (VCP-DCV 2022) — Question 92

A new vSphere 7.0 environment is deployed with the following:
✑ A single vCenter Server
✑ Two vSAN clusters
✑ A vSAN default storage policy
Which statement is true regarding virtual disk availability in this environment?

Answer options

• A. Replicas will be placed on different disk groups but can be placed on the same host.
• B. All stripes will be placed on different disk groups and cannot be placed on the same host.
• C. Each virtual disk will have four replicas of data.
• D. Each virtual disk will have two replicas of data.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because, by default, vSAN storage policies in a vSphere 7.0 environment typically configure virtual disks to have two replicas for redundancy. Option A is incorrect as replicas can be on the same host; option B is wrong because stripes can span hosts; and option C is inaccurate as it overstates the number of replicas.
