VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 23

What are two characteristics of the vSAN Data-At-Rest Encryption (DARE)? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. It requires Self-Encrypting Drives in order to work.
• B. It needs to be enabled together with the vSAN Data-In-Transit encryption.
• C. It is Software Defined and works independently of the Cache or Capacity drives installed on the Nodes.
• D. It is not supported on Stretched Cluster environments.
• E. It continues to operate unaffected during downtime on vCenter Server.

Correct answer: C, E

Explanation

The correct answers, C and E, highlight that vSAN Data-At-Rest Encryption operates independently of the drives in use and remains functional during vCenter Server outages. Option A is incorrect because it does not require Self-Encrypting Drives, B is wrong as it can operate without Data-In-Transit encryption, and D is also false since it can be used in Stretched Cluster environments.
