VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 35

When attempting to add a directly attached disk device to a host disk group, the intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management.
Which action can be used to make the device available?

Answer options

• A. delete all device partitions
• B. format the existing partition
• C. create a 1GB metadata partition
• D. create a VMFS partition

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Creating a VMFS partition is essential for making the disk available for use in a VMware environment, as it allows the disk to be recognized and managed correctly. The other options, such as deleting partitions or formatting, do not specifically address the requirement to create a partition type that VMware can utilize, hence they would not resolve the issue.
