VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 12

During a design workshop for a stretched vSAN cluster, the requirement that some of the VMs be configured with no-mirror between sites was discussed.
Which three recommendations should the architect provide to address an event of a network partition between two sites? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Host isolation response must exclude the VMs required
• B. The default gateway must be used as the only isolation address
• C. One of isolation addresses should reside in the site 1 data center
• D. VMware vSphere DRS rules to force the VMs to run where the data resides
• E. One isolation address reachable only from the witness appliance in both sites
• F. One of isolation addresses should reside in the site 2 data center

Correct answer: C, D, F

Explanation

The correct answers C, D, and F provide critical strategies for managing network partition scenarios in a stretched vSAN setup. C ensures there is an isolation address in site 1, D guarantees that VMs run where their data is stored, and F places an isolation address in site 2. Options A, B, and E are inadequate as they do not meet the design requirements for effective network partition management.
