VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 88

An architect is reviewing a physical storage design. The customer has specified that storage DRS will be used for ease of operational management for capacity and performance.
Which recommendation should the architect include in the design?

Answer options

• A. Create smaller datastores to balance space with Storage DRS
• B. Use a larger number of storage profiles (varied disk speeds and RAID levels) to improve performance
• C. Create larger datastores to balance space with Storage DRS
• D. Create more datastores within each Storage DRS cluster to balance space and performance

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer, D, is appropriate because having more datastores within each Storage DRS cluster allows for better distribution of workloads, enhancing both space utilization and performance management. Options A and C focus on the size of datastores, which can hinder flexibility and efficiency. Option B, while potentially beneficial for performance, does not directly address the balance of space management with Storage DRS.
