VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 41

An administrator has been tasked with increasing the available capacity within an existing VMware Cloud Foundation deployment to support the deployment of production workloads.
The VMware Cloud Foundation environment consists of a single workload domain called Production. The existing workload domain consists of a single vSAN Cluster called Production-01. Three new hosts have been commissioned in SDDC Manager for the capacity expansion. The new hosts have identically configured CPU and RAM to the hosts in Production-01. NFS is the required principal storage option.
Which process must the administrator complete to increase the available capacity without the need for additional management components?

Answer options

• A. Create a new vSphere Cluster within the Production workload domain.
• B. Expand the existing Production-01 cluster by adding the additional hosts.
• C. Create a new network pool in the existing Workload Domain to support vSAN.
• D. Create a new vSphere Cluster within a new workload domain.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a new vSphere Cluster within the existing workload domain allows the administrator to utilize the new hosts without needing to add management components. Option B is incorrect as it suggests expanding the existing cluster instead of creating a new one, while C and D do not address the requirement of increasing capacity directly within the existing workload domain.
