VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 57

An architect is currently working with a customer to transform their existing ESXi hosts to vSAN nodes. The customer expressed the following requirements.

• First phase will transform 50% of the hosts to a hybrid vSAN nodes.
• Second phase will transform the remaining 50% hosts to an All-Flash vSAN nodes.

The following constraint exists:

• Each host has a 4-port x 1 GbE network interface.

Which two recommendations should the architect make to align with the customer's requirements? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Hybrid vSAN clusters can have shared 1 GbE network adapters.
• B. All-Flash vSAN clusters must have dedicated 10 GbE network adapters.
• C. Hybrid vSAN clusters must have dedicated 1 GbE network adapters.
• D. All-Flash vSAN clusters can have shared 10 GbE network adapters.
• E. Hybrid vSAN clusters must have dedicated 10 GbE network adapters.

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answer is C, as hybrid vSAN clusters can operate with dedicated 1 GbE network adapters, which accommodates the existing infrastructure. D is also correct because All-Flash vSAN clusters can function with shared 10 GbE adapters, which is not a requirement for that setup. Options A, B, and E are incorrect as they either misrepresent the requirements for hybrid and All-Flash clusters or suggest configurations that do not align with the discussed limitations.
