VMware vSAN Specialist (v2) Sample Questions:
An application refactor requires significant storage that is being added for logs stored on a VM vDISK. The application VMs run on a dedicated vSAN enabled vSphere Cluster with custom CPUs and RAM, and therefore, cannot vMotion to another vSAN enabled cluster.
The administrator needs a vSAN feature that can be used to allocate additional storage from another vSAN enabled vSphere cluster to this vSAN enabled Cluster.
Which vSAN feature should be used for this purpose?
- A. vSAN File Services
- B. vSAN HCI Mesh
- C. vSAN Replication
- D. vSAN Stretched Clusters
Correct Answer: B 🗳️

Refer to the exhibit.
An administrator uses SSH to log into a vSAN ESA host and runs theesxcli vsan debug object overview command.
The administrator notices the Healthy Components column, the last column, is reporting some components are not in a fully healthy state.
What could cause this behavior?
- A. New VMDKs have been added to multiple VMs, but the storage policy has not finished applying.
- B. The applied Storage policy has been updated.
- C. New physical disks have been claimed and a rebalance operation is underway.
- D. One host is in maintenance mode with ensure accessibility.

All of the virtual machines running on a hybrid vSAN datastore have this storage policy assigned:
Failures to Tolerate (FTT) rule is set to "2 Failures - RAID-1 (Mirroring)" The vSAN administrator needs to reduce the amount of vSAN datastore capacity the virtual machines will consume.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to meet this goal?
- A. Add the "Flash read cache reservation" rule to the storage policy, and set to 0%
- B. Change the FTT rule to "1 Failure - RAID-1 (Mirroring)", and select "Now" for Reapply to VMs
- C. Disable Operations reserve and Host rebuild reserve and click "Apply"
- D. Modify the FTT rule to "2 Failures - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)"

- B. Create a single VM/Host group across both sites
- C. Create VM/Host groups for the two sites
