VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 63

During a vSAN design workshop, an architect collected the following customer requirements:

• Reduce the impact of a disk failure on a vSAN capacity node.
• Reduce the need for a rebuild upon a disk failure.
• Achieve the best performance for application workloads.
• Leverage the amount of available vSAN space efficiently.

The customer has already purchased all hardware and therefore the vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster is constrained to one Disk Group per node.

Which vSAN cluster option should the architect enable to meet these requirements?

Answer options

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, Compression only, as it efficiently reduces the space used by data without the need for additional resources that deduplication would require, which is not feasible given the constraint of one Disk Group per node. Deduplication (A and D) would not be effective in this scenario due to the limited Disk Group configuration, and Data-at-rest encryption (C) does not address the specific requirements related to performance and rebuild needs.
