VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 81

A customer has a database cluster with 40/60 read/write ratio and a high IOPs requirement with no contention on an all-flash vSAN cluster.
Which two storage settings should be configured for best performance? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. IOPs limits enabled
• B. RAID 1
• C. Deduplication and Compression disabled
• D. RAID 5/6
• E. Deduplication and Compression enabled

Correct answer: B, C

Explanation

Choosing RAID 1 provides better performance for workloads with high IOPs due to its mirroring capabilities, while disabling Deduplication and Compression ensures that there are no additional overheads that could impact performance. Options A, D, and E would introduce inefficiencies or limitations that are not suitable for the high-performance requirements of the database cluster.
