VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2020) — Question 67

An administrator has been tasked with deploying a VMware Cloud Foundation Workload Domain Stretched Cluster that consists of eight (8) hosts. Four (4) hosts have been successfully deployed and commissioned into Availability Zone 1 (AZ1).
All other required prerequisites have been met, and the administrator is now ready to start the process of stretching the VMware vSAN cluster into Availability Zone 2 (AZ2).
Which step should the administrator complete first?

Answer options

• A. Commission the four (4) hosts in AZ2.
• B. Validate the stretch cluster API.
• C. Stretch the cluster.
• D. Create a network pool in AZ2.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The first step in stretching the VMware vSAN cluster to AZ2 is to commission the four hosts in that zone, as they must be integrated into the environment before any further configuration can take place. Validating the stretch cluster API, stretching the cluster, and creating a network pool in AZ2 are subsequent steps that depend on having the hosts commissioned first.
