VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 18

An administrator is implementing deduplication and compression on a vSAN all-flash cluster.
-There are 4 nodes in the vSAN cluster.
-Existing VMs use a RAID-5 storage policy
How can deduplication and compression be enabled while permitting the VMs to remain operational?

Answer options

• A. Enable vSAN datastore encryption.
• B. Use explicit fault domains.
• C. Use the Allow Reduced Redundancy option.
• D. Enable TRIM/UNMAP.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as selecting the Allow Reduced Redundancy option permits the activation of deduplication and compression while maintaining VM operations. Options A and B do not directly facilitate deduplication and compression, and option D is related to space reclamation rather than enabling these features.
