VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 48

The clomd service has stopped on 1 host in a 3-node vSAN cluster. All other services on the host, as well as the other 2, are healthy. Additionally, the unmodified vSAN Default Storage Policy is in use.
Which would be an expected outcome for a new VM deployed into the vSAN cluster?

Answer options

• A. VM deployment will fail.
• B. VM deployment will complete but VM IO will fail.
• C. VM deployment will complete but performance will be degraded.
• D. VM deployment will be deferred by vCenter.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because even though the clomd service is down on one host, the vSAN cluster can still support VM deployment as long as the remaining nodes are healthy. The performance may be degraded due to the lack of redundancy provided by the failed service, while options A and B are incorrect because the deployment can still complete, and option D is wrong as vCenter does not defer the deployment in this scenario.
