VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 42

During a vSAN design workshop, an architect collected these customer requirements:
✑ Leverage vSAN storage policies with Erasure Coding.
✑ Enable Deduplication and Compression.
✑ Use the minimum number of hosts in the cluster.
✑ Maintain full storage policy compliance when two nodes are down.
Which vSAN cluster design meets the customer's requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a Six nodes All-Flash vSAN cluster provides the necessary resources to support Erasure Coding and maintain full compliance when two nodes are down. Option A, the Five nodes All-Flash cluster, does not meet the requirement for full compliance with two nodes down. Options C and D involve Hybrid configurations, which do not support the specified storage policies effectively.
