VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 30

An architect is tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain cluster to support the HR system.
The default storage policy must satisfy the following requirements:

Support two host failures -

Use the least amount of hosts -

Maximize user capacity -
Which configuration will satisfy these requirements?

Answer options

• A. 5 Hosts, FFT=2, RAID 5/6
• B. 4 Hosts, FTT=2, RAID 1
• C. 4 Hosts, FFT=2, RAID 5/6
• D. 5 Hosts, FFT=2, RAID 1

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because using 5 hosts with FFT=2 and RAID 1 ensures that the system can tolerate two host failures while maximizing user capacity and providing redundancy. Options A and C do not optimize for the least number of hosts, while option B does not provide the required capacity and redundancy due to its lower host count and RAID 1 configuration.
