VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 83

Following the deployment of a new all-flash vSAN 7.0 U1 stretched cluster, an administrator has been tasked with decommissioning the existing hybrid vSAN 6.7 U3 stretched cluster since the hardware is becoming end-of-life. In addition to Virtual Machine storage, the hybrid vSAN cluster also provides iSCSI target services.

The administrator has completed the following tasks:

• All workloads have been successfully migrated to the new vSAN stretched cluster.
• The iSCSI target service has been enabled on the new vSAN stretched cluster.

Which three additional tasks should the administrator complete to properly decommission the hybrid vSAN stretched cluster and ensure that all data is removed? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Run the Wipe-Disk PowerCLI command to securely wipe any data.
• B. Disable vSAN File Services.
• C. Convert the vSAN stretched cluster into a vSAN standard cluster.
• D. Remove any disk groups before decommissioning the vSAN data nodes.
• E. Disable the vSAN performance service.
• F. Ensure all data has been evacuated from the vSAN cluster.

Correct answer: A, D, F

Explanation

The correct tasks to complete are to securely wipe any remaining data with the Wipe-Disk PowerCLI command (A), remove disk groups before decommissioning (D), and ensure all data has been evacuated (F). Disabling vSAN File Services (B) and the performance service (E) is not necessary for decommissioning, and converting to a standard cluster (C) does not address the goal of proper decommissioning and data removal.
