VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 5

What is the minimum required number of hosts to provide data redundancy for a vSAN stretched cluster using dual-site mirroring and local protection with 1 failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)?

Answer options

• A. 3 hosts
• B. 8 hosts
• C. 4 hosts
• D. 6 hosts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is 6 hosts because a vSAN stretched cluster with dual-site mirroring requires a minimum of 6 hosts to maintain data availability during a failure. This setup ensures that there are enough hosts in each site to support the mirroring and local protection requirements, while other options do not meet the necessary criteria for redundancy.
