VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 45

An organization plans to implement a new vSAN 8.0 cluster to take advantage of the new features around improved I/O flow, better resiliency, and more efficient disk usage. The vSAN ReadyNodes available for the cluster consist of eight NVMe disks.
How should the organization configure the disk layout?

Answer options

• A. Use vSAN OSA and create two disk groups with one cache disk and three capacity disks each
• B. Use vSAN ESA and the new Storage pool configuration where all disks contribute to capacity
• C. Use vSAN OSA and the new Storage pool configuration where all disks contribute to capacity
• D. Use vSAN ESA and create two disk groups with one cache disk and three capacity disks each

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B because vSAN ESA allows for all disks to be pooled together, optimizing capacity and performance in a way that is not possible with OSA configurations. The other options either incorrectly suggest using OSA, which does not support the new Storage pool configuration, or do not fully utilize the benefits of vSAN ESA.
