VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 57

A customer is running a number of compute-intensive application workloads on their existing 4-node vSAN cluster that has resulted in resource contention. To provide additional compute resources, the vSAN administrator has decided to deploy a new 4-node vSAN compute-only cluster so that a HCI Mesh can be configured.
Which three points would the vSAN administrator need to consider before using this configuration? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The storage policy must be based on the number of hosts within the client cluster.
• B. The storage policy is based on the total number of hosts across both client and server clusters.
• C. A storage policy of Erasure Coding with FTT=2 would be supported.
• D. A storage policy of Mirroring with FTT 1 would be supported.
• E. A storage policy of Erasure Coding with FTT=1 would be supported.
• F. The storage policy must be based on the number of hosts within the server cluster.

Correct answer: D, E, F

Explanation

The correct options D, E, and F are valid as they outline the necessary considerations for storage policies in a compute-only cluster. Options A and B are incorrect because they misrepresent the basis for storage policies in relation to the clusters involved. Option C is incorrect since Erasure Coding with FTT=2 is not supported in this scenario.
