VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2022) — Question 77

A systems administrator is tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain cluster to support the HR system. A new storage policy must be created to satisfy the following requirements:

• Support two host failures
• Use the least amount of hosts
• Minimize storage capacity usage

Which configuration will satisfy these requirements?

Answer options

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

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Option B is correct because using 6 hosts with FTT=2 and RAID 5/6 provides the necessary redundancy and minimizes storage capacity usage. Options A and D utilize RAID 1, which is less efficient in terms of storage capacity for the required fault tolerance. Option C uses only 5 hosts, which does not meet the requirement to support two host failures effectively.
