VMware Carbon Black Cloud Endpoint Standard Specialist — Question 70

An administrator is responsible for managing a 5-node vSAN 7.0 cluster that hosts 150 virtual machines. Each virtual machine belongs to one of the following vSAN Storage Policies: vSANPolicy1:
✑ Site Disaster Tolerance: None
✑ Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure - RAIN5 (Erase Coding)
vSANPolicy2:
✑ Site Disaster Tolerance: None
✑ Failures to Tolerate: No data redundancy
Following an unplanned power event within the datacenter, the administrator has been alerted to the fact that one host has permanently failed. Prior to the vSAN host failure, the usable storage capacity of the vSAN Cluster was more than 40%.
What will be the potential impact to any virtual machine that was running on the failed host using vSANPolicy2?

Answer options

• A. vSAN will immediately start the recovery process.
• B. Each virtual machine will be restarted on another vSAN host using vSphere HA.
• C. After 60 minutes, vSAN will automatically start the recovery process.
• D. Each virtual machine will need to be restored from backup.

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because virtual machines under vSANPolicy2 have no data redundancy, meaning that if the host fails, the data is lost and cannot be recovered. Options A, B, and C are incorrect because they imply recovery mechanisms that are not available when data redundancy is not configured.
