VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 2

An administrator has 24 physical servers that need to be configured with vSAN. The administrator needs to ensure that a single rack failure is not going to affect the data availability. The number of racks used should be minimized.
What has to be done and configured to achieve this goal?

Answer options

• A. Distribute servers across at least two different racks and configure two fault domains
• B. Configure disk groups with a minimum of four capacity disks in each server and distribute them across four racks
• C. Enable deduplication and compression
• D. Distribute servers across at least three different racks and configure three fault domains

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because distributing servers across three different racks and configuring three fault domains ensures that data remains available even if one rack fails. Option A does not provide enough fault tolerance, while option B requires more racks than necessary, and option C does not address the rack distribution or fault domain configuration needed for data availability.
