VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 59

All of the virtual machines running on a hybrid vSAN datastore have this storage policy assigned:
Failures to Tolerate (FTT) rule is set to `2 Failures - RAID-1 (Mirroring)`.
The vSAN administrator needs to reduce the amount of vSAN datastore capacity the virtual machines will consume.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to meet this goal?

Answer options

• A. Change the FTT rule to ג€1 Failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)ג€, and select ג€Nowג€ for Reapply to VMs.
• B. Add the ג€Flash read cache reservationג€ rule to the storage policy, and set to 0%.
• C. Disable Operations reserve and Host rebuild reserve and click ג€Applyג€.
• D. Modify the FTT rule to ג€2 Failures - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)ג€.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because changing the FTT rule to `1 Failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)` will reduce the amount of storage consumed by allowing only one failure instead of two, thus lowering the required capacity. Option B does not directly address the storage capacity issue, and adding a Flash read cache reservation does not reduce space. Option C does not modify the FTT, and option D would actually increase the storage requirements instead of reducing them.
