A cache disk failure marked a vSAN disk group as failed, and the data is being rebuilt on other disk groups.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to reduce the negative impact on the VMs?

• A. Setting the vSAN policy's IOPS limit for object value to 0 (unlimited)
• B. Enabling Maintenance mode with no data evacuation
• C. Enabling automatic rebalance
• D. Enabling Resync Throttling

An administrator is tasked with sharing storage from one vSAN cluster to another vSAN cluster. SPBM management must be preserved end-to-end, and the policy must be applied by the source vSAN cluster which is storing the dat a. Both vSAN clusters are managed by the same vCenter server.
What should the administrator configure?

• A. NFS volumes on vSAN
• B. iSCSI targets on vSAN
• C. vVOLs on vSAN
• D. HCI Mesh on vSAN

During a design workshop for a stretched vSAN cluster, the requirement that some of the VMs be configured with no-mirror between sites was discussed.
Which three recommendations should the architect provide to address an event of a network partition between two sites? (Choose three.)

• A. VMware vSphere DRS rules to force the VMs to run where the data resides
• B. Host isolation response must exclude the VMs required
• C. One of isolation addresses should reside in the site 2 data center
• D. One of isolation addresses should reside in the site 1 data center
• E. The default gateway must be used as the only isolation address
• F. One isolation address reachable only from the witness appliance in both sites

An administrator is tasked with migrating a VMware Horizon View environment that is currently running on an NFS Datastore to VMware vSAN.
Which Horizon configuration option will not be available when configuring vSAN in Horizon View?

• A. Linked Clones
• B. Storage Tiers

• D. Storage Profiles

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.
