VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 29

A vSAN administrator encounters a non-compliant virtual machine and the compliance status of some of its objects is noncompliant. vSAN is able to locate a full replica of 55% of the votes for the noncompliant objects.
What will vSAN do with the virtual machine?

Answer options

• A. Mark the virtual machine as compliant and automatically recover the noncompliant objects
• B. Power off the virtual machine
• C. Mark the virtual machine as inaccessible as vSAN is not able to locate more than 60% of the votes for the objects
• D. Mark the virtual machine as orphaned

Correct answer: A

Explanation

vSAN can automatically recover noncompliant objects if it can access at least a majority of the votes, which in this case is 55%. Thus, it will mark the virtual machine as compliant and proceed with the recovery. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because the situation allows for recovery instead of powering off, marking inaccessible, or orphaning the virtual machine.
