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?
Correct Answer:A. VMware Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
Explanation:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-Tanzu-Kubernetes-Grid-Integrated-Edition/index.html There is a picture with integration with vSAN
Question 4
data centers, the customer relayed the following information:
* Highest possible mitigation during a host failure in terms of capacity.
* A constraint in this year's IT budget.
What should the architect recommend?
Correct Answer:B. Enable host build reserve.
A minimum cluster of 4 vSAN nodes.
Explanation:
Performance services and IOinsight Metrics used for performance analysis. Operation reserve for internal VSAN operations. https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2020/09/24/effective-capacity-management-with-vsan-7-update-1/
Question 5
cluster for a customer who is planning to use vRealize Automation to provision 600 virtual machines into that cluster, with expected growth up to 1,000 VM. Each VM has a 40GB thick-provisioned disk.
Which flash disk size is required for the cache tier per ESXi node to meet all requirements?
Correct Answer:C. 600GB

Question 6
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?
An administrator wants to check the performance metrics for the workloads and their virtual disks that are running on a vSAN cluster, but no statistical charts are displayed in the vSphere client.
Why is this behavior being seen?
Correct Answer:C. vSAN performance service is turned off.
Explanation:
: Some tools allow for measuring latency peaks. This unfortunately isn't ideal, as it can unfairly represent statistical outliers, which may very well occur when there is little to no I/O activity. The best way to understand the actual behavior of VM and application latencies is to observe in time based performance graphs. Depending on the level of detail, you may need to measure at the individual VMDK level. Become familiar with these graphs to determine what is normal, and what is not for that given application. This is where you can use built-in functionality of vCenter and the vSAN performance service metrics to gather this information.
An 8-Node vSAN Stretched Cluster (4+4+1) with a single disk group has a policy with PFTT=1 (mirrored across sites) and SFTT=1/FTM Mirroring (Local Protection) configured.
The administrator has been alerted that there is a problem with the cluster. The following has been observed:
* The vSAN Witness Host is offline.
* Two disk failures on two hosts have occurred in the preferred site.
This has resulted in a critical production virtual machine's vmdk becoming inaccessible.
Which step needs to be performed by the administrator to resolve the issue?
Correct Answer:C. Replace access to the existing vSAN Witness Host
Explanation:
the vSAN Witness Host offline and 2 failures in the Preferred Site. In each of the above failure cases, restoring access to the existing vSAN Witness would make the object accessible. ... Deploying a new vSAN Witness would not because the components would not be present. https://core.vmware.com/resource/vsan-stretched-cluster-guide#sec7373-sub5
Question 9
An administrator is tasked to create a custom storage policy for workloads and is including additional disk stripes while defining the storage policy.
What is the main purpose of this practice?
Correct Answer:C. To improve performance
Explanation:
https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2016/09/19/vsan-stripes/ Striping may help performance if certain virtual machines are I/O intensive and others are not.
The ''number of disk stripes per object'' storage policy rule attempts to improve performance by distributing data contained in a single object (such as a VMDK) across more capacity devices. https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2021/01/21/stripe-width-improvements-in-vsan-7-u1/
Question 10
During a vSAN design workshop, an architect collected these customer requirements:
* Leverage vSAN storage policies with Erasure Coding.
* Enable Deduplication and Compression.
* Use the minimum number of hosts in the cluster.
* Maintain full storage policy compliance when two nodes are down.
Which vSAN cluster design meets the customer's requirements?
Correct Answer:B. Six nodes All-Flash vSAN cluster
