VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 24

A vSAN administrator has been tasked with troubleshooting an application in a Hybrid vSAN environment. The application is I/O intensive, and the magnetic capacity devices may be playing a role in slow performance, so the administrator decides to take action to help resolve the problem.
Which action should the administrator take?

Answer options

• A. Change the Default Storage Policy to have stripe width of 13.
• B. Modify the stripe width for the application on the advanced settings for the VM.
• C. Add more magnetic capacity devices in the affected host.
• D. Increase the stripe width based on the number of capacity devices within the disk group.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D, as increasing the stripe width based on the number of capacity devices can enhance performance by distributing I/O requests more effectively across the devices. Option A is incorrect because a stripe width of 13 may not align with the current configuration. Option B does not address the overall disk group capacity, while option C might help but does not optimize the existing configuration as effectively as increasing the stripe width.
