VMware App Volumes 4 Specialist — Question 49

An administrator is tasked with expanding an existing 2-node vSAN cluster at a remote site to meet the increasing storage capacity requirement by 30%. The existing cache is underutilized.
Which solution provides the best configuration that maximizes existing ROI?

Answer options

• A. Scale out two more nodes.
• B. Add capacity drives to existing disk groups.
• C. Scale out one more node.
• D. Replace all cache and capacity with larger drives.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer, B, is ideal because it leverages the existing infrastructure by adding more capacity drives, which is cost-effective and maximizes ROI without unnecessary expansion. Options A and C require additional nodes, which involves more costs and complexity, while D suggests replacing existing drives, which is not necessary given the underutilization of the current cache.
