VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 26

A 3-node vSAN cluster will take which two actions, when a drive is physically removed from a vSAN node? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Marks all components on that device as absent
• B. Marks all components on that device as degraded
• C. Waits for the configured delay timer before rebuild
• D. Marks all components on that device as stale
• E. Starts component rebuild immediately

Correct answer: A, C

Explanation

When a drive is physically removed, the vSAN cluster marks all components on that device as absent because they can no longer be accessed. Additionally, it waits for the configured delay timer before initiating a rebuild to ensure that the removal wasn't a temporary issue, which is why option C is also correct. The other options do not accurately reflect the actions taken by the cluster in this scenario.
