Which statement is true about the hardware configuration for ESXi hosts participating in a virtual SAN?

  1. The hosts must have identical hardware.
  2. Each host must have at least one Solid State Drive (SSD).
  3. The hosts must have network attached storage.
  4. Each host must have a RAID Controller.

Answer(s): B



An administrator has configured a vSphere 5.5 test environment to evaluate the Virtual SAN feature using Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The administrator needs to disable the Virtual SAN cluster while preserving the virtual machines running on that cluster.

The administrator has already installed a vSphere 5.5 Client on a Windows 7 desktop and also has access to the vSphere 5.5 Web Client.

What should the administrator do to disable the Virtual SAN?

  1. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machines to another datastore then use the vSphere 5.5 Client to disable the Virtual SAN.
  2. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machines to another datastore then use the vSphere 5.5 Web Client to disable the Virtual SAN.
  3. Use the vSphere 5.5 Client to disable the Virtual SAN, which will automatically migrate the virtual machines via the Storage DRS feature.
  4. Use the vSphere 5.5 Web Client to disable the Virtual SAN, which will automatically migrate the virtual machines via the Storage DRS feature.

Answer(s): B



A vSphere administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster with Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The cluster includes three ESXi hosts contributing one SSD and six SAS disks each. The administrator has four new ESXi hosts that boot from a fiber channel array and have no local disks attached. These four new hosts need additional shared storage but there is insufficient space on the fiber channel array. The hardware budget is limited.

What can the administrator do to provide the needed storage for the lowest cost?

  1. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and use the existing storage in the cluster.
  2. Add an SAS RAID controller to each of the new hosts. Attach one SSD and six SAS disks to each RAID controller and then add the four hosts to the Virtual SAN cluster.
  3. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and contribute the fiber channel disks to the Virtual SAN.
  4. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and change to Manual Mode Disk Groups.

Answer(s): A



A customer needs a datastore to be seen across multiple vSphere clusters with applications inside of the virtual machines that must detect the physical characteristics of the storage device.

Which type of virtual disk meets this requirement?

  1. A virtual disk on a VMFS datastore
  2. A raw device mapped disk in virtual compatibility mode
  3. A raw device mapped disk in physical compatibility mode
  4. A virtual disk on an NFS datastore

Answer(s): C



The current block size of a datastore in VMFS3 is 4MB. An administrator needs to upgrade the datastore to VMFS5 and wants to change it to 1MB block size.

Which action should the administrator take?

  1. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS 5. Select the 1MB block size option during the upgrade.
  2. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.
  3. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS5. Use vmkfstools to change the block size on the upgraded datastore.
  4. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore. Upgrade the virtual machine hardware on the migrated VMs, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.

Answer(s): B
