VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 50

How do vSAN fault domains relate to vSAN component placement?

Answer options

• A. Storage policies are inherited by vSAN fault domains.
• B. vSAN objects only exist in a single vSAN fault domain.
• C. The number of vSAN fault domains determines the number of components of an object.
• D. Storage policies use vSAN fault domains for component placement.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because storage policies indeed leverage vSAN fault domains to determine where components are placed across the infrastructure. Option A is incorrect as storage policies are not inherited but instead defined separately. Option B is also wrong because vSAN objects can span multiple fault domains, and option C misinterprets the role of fault domains, which does not directly determine the number of components, but rather their placement.
