VMware vSphere 6 Beta Foundations — Question 11

Which statement is true about vSAN three-node cluster configuration?

Answer options

• A. Three-node clusters can tolerate a maximum of 2 host failures as long as there at least 2 disk groups in each host.
• B. A storage policy with a RAID-5/6 erasure coding rule cannot be applied to a virtual machine object.
• C. A storage policy with a deduplication and compression rule can be applied to a virtual machine object.
• D. Three-node clusters can tolerate a maximum of 2 host failures.

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

Option A is correct because vSAN three-node clusters are designed to tolerate a maximum of 2 host failures when configured with at least 2 disk groups per host. Option B is incorrect since RAID-5/6 can be used with specific configurations. Option C is correct as deduplication and compression can be applied to virtual machine objects. Option D is misleading; while it mentions tolerating failures, it doesn’t specify the conditions necessary for the maximum toleration.
