VMware Cloud on AWS Specialist — Question 40

An administrator deploys a normal (non-stretched) cluster of six i3en.metal hosts in VMware Cloud on AWS. When deploying virtual machines to this cluster, which two of the listed storage policies would satisfy the service-level agreement (SLA) for a six host cluster? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Failure to tolerate = 1 failure - RAID-1 (mirroring)
• B. Site disaster tolerance = Dual Site Mirroring
• C. Failure to tolerate = 1 failure - RAID-5 (erasure coding)
• D. Failure to tolerate = 2 failures - RAID-6 (erasure coding)
• E. MC Workload Storage Policy - <cluster name>

Correct answer: D, E

Explanation

The correct answers are D and E because a failure to tolerate of 2 failures with RAID-6 (erasure coding) ensures higher data protection for the six host cluster. Option E, the MC Workload Storage Policy, is also valid as it is designed to meet the storage needs of the cluster. The other options do not provide sufficient fault tolerance for a six-host setup.
