VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage Sample Questions:

1. An administrator has been tasked with making changes to a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain cluster that is configured with NFS for both Principal storage and Supplemental storage.
The cluster has the following configuration:
* There are 3 x ESX host servers.
* There are 3 x NFS Datastores allocated to host Virtual Machines workloads.
* There is a single NFS Datastore allocated for hosting ISO files.
The administrator has the following concerns with the existing configuration:
* Every time a new Virtual Machine is deployed to the Workload Domain, the administrator must choose which datastore should be used.
* When reviewing the Datastores in VCF Operations:
* One of the datastores has no Virtual Machines running in it.
* The other two datastores have an imbalance of Virtual Machines and this is causing resource contention. The administrator has the following requirements: * Virtual Machines must be placed automatically on the most appropriate datastore based on utilization. * Migration recommendations on Virtual Machine placement should be made when one datastore reaches 50% utilization. * Virtual Machines must only be migrated to another datastore after being approved by an administrator. What four actions must the administrator take to meet all of the requirements? (Choose four.)

A) Configure the Datastore Cluster to set the Storage DRS storage space utilization difference to 50%.
B) Configure the Datastore Cluster to set the Storage DRS storage space threshold to 50%.
C) Configure the Datastore Cluster to use Manual Storage DRS.
D) Create a new Datastore Cluster using all four available Datastores.
E) Configure the Datastore Cluster to use Fully Automated Storage DRS.
F) Ensure all three NFS Datastores are available to each ESX host server.
G) Create a new Datastore Cluster using all three NFS Datastores allocated to host Virtual Machines workloads.

2. An architect is designing a vSAN storage solution for a remote site. The following requirements have been given:
* There is enough rack space for two hosts, each with 36 CPU cores and 256 GB of RAM.
* The physical network at the remote site supports 10 Gb maximum.
* The network connecting the remote site to corporate has 10 Gb of bandwidth with an average RTT of 25 ms.
* High availability is expected for all the Virtual Machines running at the remote site.
* The solution must provide additional storage to 16 graphic design Windows based workstations.
* Active Directory is configured and available at the remote site.
* The graphic design application requires native NTFS permissions.
What vSAN advanced technology is required for configuring this remote site?

A) vSAN File Share NFSv3 services
B) vSAN File Share SMB services
C) vSAN Storage Cluster
D) vSAN HCI Mesh

3. As part of standard operating procedures, when an administrator leaves the organization, a shallow rekey operation must be performed on a vSAN ESA cluster with vSAN Data-at-Rest Encryption enabled.
Which key is rotated during a shallow rekey operation?

A) Key Encryption Key
B) Host Key
C) Disk Encryption Key
D) Key Derivation Key

4. An architect is presented with the following requirements for the storage solution in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain.
The solution must:
* Allow for rapid recovery in case of an availability zone failure.
* Provide an extremely high amount of IOPS to all applications.
* Allow for additional storage to be added as application needs grow.
* Provide the lowest latency possible for configured applications.
* Provide recovery in case of datastore failure.
* Encrypt data in transit and at rest.
What two vSAN advanced technologies must be deployed to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A) vSAN iSCSI Target Service
B) vSAN Data Protection Service
C) vSAN Storage Cluster
D) vSAN Stretched Clusters
E) vSAN File Service

5. 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) vSAN OSA and ESA based datastores must be added to a datastore cluster tag and then selected as part of a single storage policy.
B) When using vSAN datastores, Datastore Clusters are not supported. Each VM must be placed manually on the vSAN datastore.
C) 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.
D) 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.
