VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 55

A vSAN administrator has three available racks and six vSAN hosts.
What can a vSAN administrator use to protect against a rack failure while maximizing resources?

Answer options

• A. explicit fault domain
• B. vSAN stretched cluster
• C. 2-node configuration
• D. RAID-6/FTT=2

Correct answer: A

Explanation

Using an explicit fault domain allows the administrator to group hosts by rack, ensuring that data is distributed across these domains. This setup protects against rack failures by keeping replicas in separate fault domains, while the other options either do not address rack-level redundancy or may not effectively maximize resource allocation.
