VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 13

An architect is working on the design documentation for a new vSphere solution. The architect has completed a conceptual model based on the following requirement:
REQ001 – The solution must use shared storage
What could the architect include in the logical design to meet this requirement?

Answer options

• A. The use of an NFS mount point, including the IP address of the NFS server it is hosted on
• B. The use of an all flash vSAN datastore
• C. The use of an HCI solution for a datastore
• D. The use of File Based Storage, including the list of permissions applied to the share

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because an all flash vSAN datastore provides a high-performance shared storage solution that meets the requirement. Option A is incorrect as an NFS mount point is not necessary when using vSAN. Option C, while a viable option, does not specifically highlight the shared storage aspect as clearly as vSAN. Option D is also invalid as File Based Storage does not align with the requirement for a vSphere solution.
