VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 52

A vSAN administrator is implementing deduplication and compression on a vSAN all-flash cluster but wants the VMs to remain operational. The details are as follows:
✑ There are 4 nodes in the vSAN cluster.
✑ Existing VMs use a RAID-5 storage policy.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. Use explicit fault domains.
• B. Enable TRIM/UNMAP.
• C. Change the existing VM storage policy to RAID-6.
• D. Use the Allow Reduced Redundancy option.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

Choosing the Allow Reduced Redundancy option allows the vSAN administrator to enable deduplication and compression without affecting VM operations. The other options do not directly facilitate the deduplication and compression processes while ensuring VM availability in an all-flash environment.
