VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 3

A failed storage controller has two vSAN disk groups attached. The components contained on the drives in those disk groups are marked Degraded. vSAN reports that some objects do not comply with their assigned storage policy.
How is the compliance issue resolved?

Answer options

• A. Initiate a proactive rebalance to force component repairs.
• B. Degraded components are repaired after CLOM Repair Delay Timer expires.
• C. Rebuilding of the degraded components starts immediately.
• D. Storage policies must be reapplied to all affected objects.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because the rebuilding of degraded components starts immediately after they are marked as such, ensuring quick recovery of the storage system. Option A is incorrect as proactive rebalance does not directly trigger repairs of degraded components; it aims to optimize the placement of objects. Option B is wrong since the repair does not wait for a timer to expire, and option D is inaccurate because reapplying storage policies is not necessary for resolving degraded components.
