VMware Cloud Director Specialist (2023) — Question 4

An administrator is evaluating the options to leverage HCI Mesh within the existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment. This will help them consume data center resources efficiently by enabling cross-cluster use of remote datastore capacity in their workload domains (WLD).
Which two scenarios are valid when using HCI Mesh with VCF? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. A VCF-created cluster in WLD1 providing remote storage to another VCF-created cluster in WLD2 via HCI Mesh
• B. A VCF-created stretched cluster in WLD1 providing remote storage to another VCF-created cluster in WLD1 via HCI Mesh
• C. A VCF Management WLD leveraging HCI mesh as a supplementary storage
• D. A VCF-created cluster in WLD1 providing remote storage to another VCF-created cluster in WLD1 via HCI Mesh
• E. A VCF-created cluster in WLD1 providing remote storage to another non VCF-created cluster via HCI Mesh

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

The correct answers, C and D, are valid scenarios because HCI Mesh can be used by a VCF Management WLD as an additional storage option and allows a cluster in WLD1 to provide storage to another cluster within the same WLD. The other options are incorrect as they either suggest cross-WLD storage that is not supported or involve configurations that do not align with HCI Mesh capabilities.
