VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 57

When adding a disk to a host that was previously used in a decommissioned vSAN cluster the intended disk does not show among the available devices in disk management.
Which action should be taken prior to assigning the disk on disk management?

Answer options

• A. Format the existing partition
• B. Create a 1GB metadata partition
• C. Delete all device partitions
• D. Create a VMFS partition

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct action is to delete all device partitions, as the disk retains its previous configuration from the decommissioned vSAN cluster, preventing it from appearing in disk management. Formatting the existing partition or creating a new partition may not remove the old metadata, and creating a VMFS partition will also not resolve the issue since the disk must first be cleared of previous configurations.
