VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 74
A capacity upgrade to a production vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster will provide an administrator with a number of SSD storage devices that can be reused in the development vSAN Cluster.
The company security policy mandates the following:
• All data must be encrypted-at-rest.
• All data on all drives must be securely erased before being removed and reused.
Which two steps should the administrator take to ensure that all data on the storage devices is securely erased? (Choose two.)
Answer options
- A. When putting the node in maintenance mode, choose the Ensure data accessibility option.
- B. Run the Start-VsanWipeDisk PowerCLI command.
- C. Turn off vSAN Encryption on the vSAN Cluster.
- D. When putting the nodes in maintenance mode, choose the Evacuate all data option.
- E. When putting the node in maintenance mode, choose the No data evacuation option.
Correct answer: B, D
Explanation
The correct answer is B and D. Running the Start-VsanWipeDisk PowerCLI command (B) will securely erase all data on the SSDs, while selecting the Evacuate all data option (D) ensures that any remaining data is cleared before the drives are reused. Options A, C, and E do not effectively ensure data is securely erased; they either maintain data accessibility or do not facilitate proper data removal.
