VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 14

An architect collected the below technical requirements from the customer during a vSAN cluster design workshop:
✑ Maximize the vSAN datastore usable capacity.
✑ Deduplication and compression are required to help utilize available capacity efficiency.
✑ Ensure the highest level of resiliency wherever possible.
Which disk group configuration should the architect include in the design?

Answer options

• A. One disk group per host, with one cache tier flash disk and four capacity tier flash disks.
• B. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and four capacity tier flash disks.
• C. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and six capacity tier flash disks.
• D. Two disk groups per host, each with one cache tier flash disk and six capacity tier magnetic disks.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

Answer C is correct because having two disk groups per host with six capacity tier flash disks maximizes usable capacity and supports deduplication and compression effectively. Options A and B do not provide enough capacity tier disks to fully utilize the available space, while option D uses magnetic disks which do not align with the requirement for deduplication and compression.
