VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 18

A new host with local storage devices has been added to a vSAN cluster. Now, the administrator would like to increase the capacity of the vSAN datastore.
What must be done to the new host to accomplish this goal?

Answer options

• A. Configure a RAID set on the storage controller.
• B. Create one or more disk groups.
• C. Delete all existing partitions.
• D. Perform a storage device rescan.

Correct answer: B

Explanation

To increase the capacity of the vSAN datastore, the new host needs to have one or more disk groups created, as this is how vSAN aggregates storage. The other options do not directly contribute to expanding the datastore's capacity: configuring RAID is not necessary, deleting partitions would remove existing data, and a rescan does not increase storage capacity.
