VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 62

A business unit requires proprietary data to be protected against a site failure while using the least amount of storage and the least amount of nodes. AN administrator plans to implement a vSAN Stretched Cluster with a RAID-5 policy.
What is the minimum number of data nodes across all sites in this vSAN Stretched Cluster configuration?

Answer options

• A. 4
• B. 8
• C. 12
• D. 6

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as a vSAN Stretched Cluster with a RAID-5 policy requires a minimum of 8 data nodes to provide fault tolerance and ensure data protection across both sites. Options A, C, and D do not meet the minimum requirement for data node configuration in this scenario, thus making them incorrect.
