VMware App Volumes (VCP-AM 2019) — Question 7

A vSAN 5-node cluster has two sets of VMs, each associated with a separate storage policy.
-Group A (Storage Policy: FTT=0)
-Group B (Storage Policy: FTT=2)
What are two possible results when two hosts in the vSAN cluster fail permanently? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. VMs in Group B will become inaccessible if a third host permanently fails.
• B. vSAN will rebuild data associated with Group A.
• C. VMs in Group A might experience data inaccessibility.
• D. VMs in Goup B might experience data loss.
• E. A host can be put into maintenance mode without impacting VMs in either Group A or B.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers are C and D because Group A with FTT=0 has no redundancy and will lose access to data if one host fails. Group B with FTT=2 can tolerate one host failure, but if another host fails, VMs in Group B may also experience data loss. The other options are incorrect because vSAN does not rebuild data for Group A and maintenance mode can affect VMs if hosts are part of the same failure domain.
