VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 72

An administrator is tasked with setting up HCI mesh between the following two vSAN clusters:

• Cluster 1 uses FTT=1 via mirroring
• Cluster 2 uses FTT=1 via Erasure Coding

The administrator configures Cluster 2 as the cluster that is contributing storage to HCI mesh.

Which FTT applies to objects created on Cluster 1 when using the HCI Mesh shared storage?

Answer options

• A. HCI mesh always uses FTT = 1.
• B. HCI Mesh always uses the default vSAN policy from the target site.
• C. HCI Mesh always uses the source vSAN cluster to set its policy.
• D. HCI mesh always uses FTT = 0.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because HCI Mesh adopts the default vSAN policy of the destination site, which in this case is Cluster 2. The other options are incorrect as they either misrepresent how FTT is determined in HCI Mesh or state incorrect FTT values.
