VMware 5V0-21.21 Exam : VMware HCI Master Specialist

Due to the success of the recently deployed developer-only private cloud solution, a company has a new requirement to at least double the usable capacity in their all-flash vSAN cluster.
The vSAN cluster is deployed into a co-located datacenter that is owned by a third-party hosting company. The hosting company charges a fixed monthly cost for rack space and power consumption. The service owner has been given a limited budget for additional hardware purchases, but not for on-going co-location costs.
The current vSAN cluster has the following configuration:
* 10 vSAN Nodes with 2 CPUs (20 cores), 512 GB RAM
* 1 Disk Group per vSAN node
- 1 x 400 GB
- 4 x 1.8 TB
* De-duplication and Compression is enabled.
* vSAN Capacity is currently:
- Total: 72 TB
- Usable: ~40 TB (FTT1/RAID1) and ~60 TB (FTT1/RAID5).
As a result of any action taken, the service owner would like to ensure that overall availability of the vSAN cluster is increased.
Which two recommendations meet the requirement to increase capacity while maintaining service availability? (Choose two.)

• A. Update the existing Disk Group, and claim the newly installed drives for each node.
• B. Install an additional 400 GB SSD and 4 x 1.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.
• C. Replace existing SSDs with an 800 GB SSD and 4 x 3.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.
• D. Create a new Disk Group, and claim the newly installed cache and capacity SSD drives for each node.
• E. Install an additional 3 x 1.8 TB SSDs per vSAN node.

A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.
During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:
* The VMware vCenter Server has recently been upgraded from VMware vSphere 6.7 U3 to version 7.0 U1.
* The vSAN Cluster was recently expanded with identical hardware specification, but from a different hardware vendor.
* The hardware for each vSAN node is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) for vSAN 7.
* The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:
- vSAN version: 6.6.1
- Number of vSAN nodes: 10
- Encryption: enabled
- Deduplication and Compression: enabled
- vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%
* Each vSAN node has the following configuration:
- VMware vSphere ESXi version: 6.5 Update 3
- CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores
- RAM: 768GB RAM.
- Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs
- Network: 4 x 10GbE
Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure all data remains protected in the event of a vSAN failure? (Choose three.)

• A. The Full data migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.
• B. The upgrade process should be completed using host upgrade baselines in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
• C. The upgrade process should be completed using images in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).
• D. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 7.0 U1.
• E. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 6.7 U3.
• F. The Ensure accessibility, migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.

An administrator wants to deploy Kubernetes on an end-to-end VMware stack, using VMware vSAN for storage.
Which VMware product should the administrator install as the Kubernetes platform choice?

• A. VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
• B. VMware Tanzu Build service
• C. VMware Tanzu Data services
• D. VMware Tanzu Mission Control

An administrator has been tasked with enabling encryption for existing virtual machines on a vSAN cluster.
Which three prerequisites must be satisfied before completing the task? (Choose three.)

• A. Enable that the virtual machines are powered on
• B. Verify if a role with privilege "Cryptographic operations.Migrate" is assigned
• C. Verify if a role with privilege "Cryptographic operations.Encrypt new" is assigned
• D. Enable Data-In-Transit encryption first
• E. Create an encryption storage policy
• F. Establish a trusted connection with the KMS

A customer has upgraded to vSAN 7, but there is still an existing legacy host which must be removed from the vSAN cluster.
Which three steps must an administrator take to successfully remove this host from the vSAN cluster? (Choose three.)

• A. Place the host in maintenance mode with no data migration
• B. Disconnect from vCenter Server
• C. Place the host in maintenance mode with Ensure Accessibility
• D. Remove from vSAN cluster
• E. Delete the disk group(s) on the legacy host
• F. Place the host in maintenance mode with Full Data migration
