VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2023) — Question 12

An administrator has been tasked with increasing the available capacity within an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment to support the deployment of production workloads. The VCF environment consists of a single VI Workload Domain (which is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager images as the update method) with only a single vSAN Cluster called Prod-01. Two new hosts have been added to SDDC Manager inventory for the capacity expansion. The new hosts have identically configured CPU and RAM to the hosts in Prod-01. VMFS on FC 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 network pool in the existing Workload Domain to support vSAN
• B. Create a new vSphere Cluster within a new workload domain
• C. Create a new vSphere Cluster within the existing VI Workload Domain
• D. Expand the existing Prod-01 cluster by adding the additional hosts

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because expanding the existing Prod-01 cluster by adding the new hosts directly increases capacity while maintaining the current management structure. Options A and C do not address the requirement to increase the cluster size, and B would involve creating a separate workload domain, which is not necessary for this scenario.
