VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 19

A vSAN administrator has a cluster configured with a Storage Pool that was moved to a new physical DC.
Upon checking on the vSAN cluster health status, one of the ESXi hosts has two storage devices in a degraded state and must be replaced.
What must the vSAN administrator do to restore the health of the vSAN cluster with minimum risk?

Answer options

• A. Remove the host from vSAN configuration, replace the faulty disks, re-create the storage pool
• B. Remove the entire storage pool, install the new devices, re-create the storage pool
• C. Remove the host from the cluster, replace the faulty disks, re-add the host to the cluster
• D. Remove the devices from the storage pool, replace the storage devices, claim the new devices in vSAN

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because it allows for the faulty disks to be replaced while maintaining the integrity of the storage pool. Removing the devices from the storage pool ensures that the vSAN can automatically handle the data and rebalance as new devices are added. The other options involve unnecessary steps that could increase the risk of data loss or require more complex reconfiguration.
