VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 29

A customer has these requirements for storage:
✑ Protocol used must have a file based access.
✑ Protocol used must have built in native multipathing.
✑ Protocol used must support authentication.
To meet these requirements, which protocol should be used for storage?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

NFS v4.1 is the correct choice as it provides file-based access, supports native multipathing, and includes built-in authentication features. NFS v3 lacks the authentication and multipathing capabilities, while FCoE and iSCSI are block storage protocols that do not meet the requirement for file-based access.
