VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 11

Which statement accurately describes the result when proper VM Storage Policy Affinity Rules on a stretched vSAN cluster are set?

Answer options

• A. When a site is disconnected, the VM will lose access to its VMDK.
• B. When a site is disconnected, the VM will continue to have access to its VMDK.
• C. Bandwidth is unnecessarily sent across the inter-site link.
• D. Proper policies result in higher inter-site bandwidth utilization.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because when a site is disconnected in a stretched vSAN cluster, the VM loses access to its VMDK due to the lack of connectivity to the storage. Options B, C, and D are incorrect as they either state that the VM retains access, which is false, or suggest unnecessary bandwidth usage, which does not occur with proper configurations.
