VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 43

An infrastructure architect is submitting a proposal for a vSAN Cluster.
These are the customer's requirements:
✑ Maximize the amount of usable capacity.
✑ Deduplication and compression will be enabled to help maximize usable capacity.
Which disk group configuration should the architect include in their design?

Answer options

• A. One disk group with one flash device for cache and six flash devices for capacity.
• B. Three disk groups with one flash device for cache and two flash devices for capacity per disk group.
• C. Five disk groups with one flash device for cache and one magnetic device for capacity per disk group.
• D. One disk group with one flash device for cache and six magnetic devices for capacity.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because having three disk groups with one flash device for cache and two flash devices for capacity maximizes usable capacity while supporting deduplication and compression. The other options either use too many magnetic devices or do not provide adequate capacity for the requirements, which would not meet the customer's needs.
