VMware vSphere 6.5 Professional (2017) — Question 24

An administrator has a large boot from SAN cluster and wants to ensure consistent configuration by using host profiles.

What special considerations are required for boot from SAN hosts?

Answer options

• A. Change the "Device is shared clusterwide" setting to "false" in the host profile.
• B. Verify that the boot LUN is correctly identified as the boot device in the host profile.
• C. The boot from SAN device must report as a local device.
• D. Host profiles are incompatible with boot from SAN hosts.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because it is essential to confirm that the boot LUN is designated as the boot device within the host profile to ensure proper functionality. Option A is incorrect because the setting does not need to be changed for boot from SAN. Option C is wrong as boot from SAN devices do not have to report as local devices. Option D is also incorrect since host profiles can indeed be used with boot from SAN configurations.
