VMware 5V0-22.23 Exam Practice Questions (P. 1)

GPT-4o - Answer

Analyzing the purpose of enhancing component spread across storage devices within a vSAN environment, Options A (Configure disk striping in OSA) and D (Enable deduplication for vSAN) from the provided answers initially seem appropriate. However, user comment 1 correctly points out that deduplication (Answer D) does not affect the spread of components but focuses on space efficiency by eliminating redundant data blocks. True component spread is directly achieved through disk striping, as indicated in Option A, fitting the requirement to distribute data across multiple physical devices convincingly. Thus, it could be argued that A could be the more accurate response if focusing strictly on spreading components, debunking the suitability of D in this context.

GPT-4o - Answer

For successfully setting up HCI mesh between geographically separated vSAN clusters, it is vital to focus on network requirements. Firstly, the network can be configured using either Layer 2 or Layer 3 communications, adaptable to the existing network infrastructure. Secondly, ensuring that both latency and bandwidth are on par with those of a local vSAN setup is crucial. This equivalence is essential to maintaining efficient data synchronization and storage operations across the clusters. Thus, prioritizing these network specifications will ensure a robust and functional HCI mesh environment.

GPT-4o - Answer

The correct approach to ensuring vSAN data availability while managing rack distribution effectively is to use two fault domains across two different racks. This configuration provides resilience against a single rack failure without necessitating additional racks, aligning perfectly with the requirement to minimize rack use. While configuring three fault domains across three racks, as suggested in some responses, does enhance fault tolerance, it does not meet the explicit goal of minimizing rack count. Therefore, for a scenario where only one rack failure needs to be tolerated, two racks are adequate.

GPT-4o - Answer

The correct choice to ensure protection against disk or disk group failure in a 2-node vSAN cluster with three disk groups is RAID-1/FTT 1. This setup directly mirrors data between nodes, which aligns perfectly with the available fault domains. While RAID-5/FTT 1 could technically be considered under certain conditions, it usually requires at least four disk groups to be feasible and effectively implement nested fault domains. Consequently, RAID-1/FTT 1 is the most straightforward and feasible option, ensuring full data redundancy across the available hardware. RAID-6 and RAID-5 configurations with higher FTT settings are not viable in this specific 2-node cluster setup.

GPT-4o - Answer

To view resynchronizing metrics in a vSAN cluster, the administrator must choose the "Backend" performance category. This category specifically provides key resynchronization details such as Read IOPS, Read Throughput, and Read Latency, crucial for troubleshooting and monitoring resynchronization activities within the cluster. While Resync Latency might sound appropriate, it is not a standalone category available for selection; instead, it falls under critical metrics found within the Backend category. This categorization ensures comprehensive reporting and analysis of backend operations affecting cluster performance.
