VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 15

A single capacity disk fails within a vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster running with a `compression-only` configuration enabled. The vSAN administrator must recognize the platform impact that has occurred and take steps to correct it.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take?

Answer options

• A. The hardware failure will impact the entire disk group, so the vSAN administrator will need to remove and recreate the disk group following the replacement of the failed storage device.
• B. The hardware failure will stop the running workloads, so the vSAN administrator will need to disable the compression-only configuration, replace the failed capacity device, and then re-create the disk group.
• C. The hardware failure will impact all disk groups within the ESXi host, so the vSAN administrator will need to manually remove the ESXi node from the vSAN Cluster, replace the failed capacity device, and then re-create the disk group.
• D. The hardware failure will only impact the specific capacity disk, so the vSAN administrator will need to remove and replace the failed capacity device.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because a failure of a single capacity disk in a vSAN setup only impacts that specific disk, allowing for its replacement without affecting the entire disk group or other components. The other options incorrectly suggest broader impacts on the disk group or workloads, which are not the case for a single disk failure.
