VMware Carbon Black Cloud Enterprise EDR Specialist — Question 71

A six-node vSAN ESA cluster contains multiple virtual machines, and a vSAN storage policy with the rule "Failures to tolerate" set to "1 failure - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)" is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rule in the assigned policy to "2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)".
What is the result of this change?

Answer options

• A. No changes occur until the policy is reapplied.
• B. The changes are queued for 60 minutes.
• C. The policy change is rejected immediately.
• D. The updated policy is serially applied to the virtual machines.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because the vSAN storage policy changes do not take effect until the policy is reapplied to the virtual machines. Options B and D are incorrect as there is no queuing mechanism for policy changes in vSAN, and the policy is not applied automatically. Option C is also incorrect because the policy change is not rejected; it simply requires reapplication to take effect.
