VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 14

In vSAN 7.0 U1, when a host enters into maintenance mode (EMM) using the `Ensure Accessibility` option, it will allow vSAN to write to another host in addition to the host holding the object replica.
What does vSAN write to that additional host?

Answer options

• A. A full replica and all incremental updates that happened once the host entered maintenance mode
• B. A full replica
• C. The stripe from the host entering maintenance mode
• D. All incremental updates that happened once the host entered maintenance mode

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because when a host enters maintenance mode with the `Ensure Accessibility` option, vSAN ensures that all incremental updates are sent to another host to maintain data integrity. Options A and B are incorrect as they mention full replicas, which are not written in this scenario. Option C is also incorrect because it refers to a specific data stripe rather than incremental updates.
