VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 15

An ESXi host is being re-purposed from a 4-node cluster. The default policy is in use and storage utilization is low.
Which maintenance mode should be used to avoid storage policy non-compliance?

Answer options

• A. Ensure accessibility
• B. No data migration
• C. Proactive rebalance
• D. Full data migration

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Choosing 'Ensure accessibility' allows the host to enter maintenance mode while ensuring the existing data remains compliant with the storage policy. The option 'No data migration' would not address compliance issues, while 'Proactive rebalance' and 'Full data migration' could initiate unnecessary data movement, which is not needed in this scenario due to low storage utilization.
