An administrator has been tasked with suggesting storage models for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud. The following information has been provided:
* All existing implementations of VMware vSphere use the existing third-party block-based storage solution.
* The block-based storage solution only has sufficient scale, capacity and IOPS to cater for the new workload storage requirements.
* There is a dedicated and highly resilient storage area network connecting hosts to the provided block-based storage.
* There are 5 existing hosts with enough CPU and RAM resources and resilient Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) to cater for the new workload resource requirements only.
* There is sufficient budget to purchase some hardware, however the solution must re-use the existing hardware where possible.
The administrator suggests the following high-level solution:
* Single VCF Instance with a single Workload Domain.
* Deploy 4 new servers to create a Management Domain.
* Repurpose the 5 existing servers to create a single cluster in the Workload Domain.
Which two storage models should the administrator recommend? (Choose two.)

• A. Fibre Channel should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.
• B. iSCSI should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Management Domain.
• C. VMware vSAN should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Management Domain.
• D. iSCSI should be the supplemental storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.
• E. VMware vSAN should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.

An administrator is tasked with setting up immutable snapshots for recovery in case of a cyber-attack.
Which two limitations apply when configuring immutable snapshots? (Choose two.)

• A. The protection group cannot be both replicated and immutable.
• B. Virtual machine hardware cannot be changed on VM having immutable snapshots.
• C. The Virtual Machine cannot be part of multiple protection groups.
• D. Virtual Machine hardware must be at least version 10.
• E. The protection group cannot have more than 7 snapshot schedules.

A six-node vSAN ESA cluster contains multiple Virtual Machines (VMs), and a vSAN storage policy with the rule "Failures to tolerate" set to "1 failure - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)" is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rule in the assigned policy to "2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)." What is the result of this change?

• A. No changes occur until the policy is reapplied.
• B. The updated policy is serially applied to the Virtual Machines.
• C. The policy change is rejected immediately.
• D. The changes are queued for 60 minutes.

A storage architect has been called into a meeting with the accounting team who is trying to determine why
20% of their raw capacity is not available for consumption. Their vSAN cluster was created with the following characteristics:
* 2 x 2 TB NVMe disks in 6 hosts in their vSAN cluster.
* FTT=1, RAID-1 for the default policy.
* Host Rebuild Reserve not activated for this cluster.
Which two items should the Architect say accounts for most of the unusable capacity? (Choose two.)

• A. Encryption overhead
• B. RAID Overhead
• C. Host upgrade overhead
• D. Operational Reserve (policy changes, rebalancing, data movement)
• E. VM swap overhead

An administrator is working on a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain that was configured to use vSAN for principal storage. The administrator wishes to create and configure a datastore cluster to host tenant VMs using that vSAN backed storage across multiple clusters, mixed OSA and ESA, in the domain.
What should the administrator consider?

• A. When using vSAN datastores, Datastore Clusters are not supported. Each VM must be placed manually on the vSAN datastore.
• B. When using vSAN as the underlying datastore, an administrator must create the datastore cluster via vCenter APIs, include the vSAN datastore(s) in it, enable Storage DRS, and ensure the VM Storage Policies reference the appropriate vSAN-capable datastore.
• C. A datastore cluster can combine different storage types, such as vSAN, FC, and NFS datastores, as long as they are in the same vCenter; Storage DRS will treat them uniformly.
• D. vSAN OSA and ESA based datastores must be added to a datastore cluster tag and then selected as part of a single storage policy.
