VMware App Volumes Specialist (2021) — Question 90

During a vSAN design workshop, the infrastructure team highlighted the need to ensure the availability and resiliency of the vSAN network for their production clusters. Each ESXi host is connected to the TOR switches with two 1 GB physical adapters. The physical network fabric is using a spine-leaf architecture.

These subnets are available for the ESXi hosts:

• Subnet A: 192.168.10.0/24
• Subnet B: 192.168.20.0/24

Which three strategies can the architect suggest to satisfy these customer requirements? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Configure MTU 9K jumbo frame on the hosts and leaf switches.
• B. Configure NIC teaming.
• C. Replace the server NICs with 10 GB ones.
• D. Add one vSAN VMKernel port to subnet B.
• E. Add one vSAN VMKernel port to subnet A.
• F. Add two vSAN VMKernel ports to subnet A.

Correct answer: B, C, E

Explanation

The correct answer includes B, which enhances network availability through redundancy, C, which increases bandwidth capacity, and E, which improves the vSAN network segmentation. Options A and D do not address the immediate needs for availability and resiliency, while F adds unnecessary complexity without clear benefits given the existing infrastructure.
