VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 14

An architect is asked to design a vSAN cluster with these requirements:
-Supports erasure coding storage policy
-Minimized inaccessibility from single device failures
-Ability to re-protect data after a failure
The desired configuration should be able to survive a single failure.
Which configuration satisfies the design requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, the 5-node all-flash vSAN cluster, as it provides sufficient resources to ensure data remains accessible even after a single device failure. Options A and B do not offer enough nodes to meet the requirements for erasure coding and resilience. Option C, while an all-flash setup, still lacks the necessary additional node to guarantee survival after a single failure.
