VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 63

An existing vSAN cluster has this specification:
✑ Four ESXi hosts with all flash configuration
✑ Each with two disk groups
✑ Each disk group with one cache device and four capacity devices
✑ There are five more device slots available
The CTO would like to provision new applications, and these will need more capacity and performance.
Which two methods may be used by the vSAN administrator to meet this goal? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. Adding faster cache devices
• B. Adding one more disk group per host with the same configuration
• C. Replacing all cache devices by a larger device
• D. Adding an ESXi host with identical device configuration
• E. Replacing all capacity devices by a larger device

Correct answer: B, D

Explanation

Option B is correct because adding another disk group to each host increases both capacity and performance by allowing more devices to be utilized. Option D is also correct as adding another ESXi host enhances the overall resources available to the cluster. The other options either do not effectively increase capacity or performance or are not feasible given the existing configuration.
