Question #: 23
Topic #: 1
[All 5V0-21.21 Questions]

An organization has two vSAN clusters managed by the same vCenter Server, each providing 100TB of storage. The first cluster runs at 75% of its storage capacity, and the second cluster runs at 50% of its storage capacity.
The company also has the following:
✑ An iSCSI array of 300TB. which runs at 76% of its capacity
✑ A NAS system of 200TB, which runs at 10% of its capacity
✑ A Fiber channel (FC) array of 300TB, which runs at 80% of its capacity
The administrator is asked to add an additional 25TB of storage to the first cluster. The administrator is also made aware that there is no budget to purchase new hardware and that the vSAN Storage Policy Based Management must be kept in place.
Which storage option will work for this use case?

  • A. Create an HCI Mesh using the first cluster's datastore.
  • B. Obtain additional free capacity from the existing NAS storage.
  • C. Obtain additional free capacity from the existing FC storage.
  • D. Create an HCI Mesh using the second cluster's datastore.

The only way you can keep your current vsan storage policy is by sticking with vSAN via HCI mesh. The second cluster has 50TB available. It's funny that this question is also saying 75% capacity, though. I remember being taught not to go above 70%. If they told us how many nodes in each, I'd be more comfortable with leaving it at 75%. Still, D is the best answer of all of the options.

I think B is the best option. Vmware recomends that VSAN uses under 70% of total capacity.

vSAN only allows DAS & HCI MESH Storage to still using Storage Policies
