5V0-22.21 Self-Study Guide for Becoming an VMware vSAN Specialist Expert [Q36-Q50]

Q36. A customer is running a number of compute-intensive application workloads on their existing 4-node vSAN cluster that has resulted in resource contention. To provide additional compute resources, the vSAN administrator has decided to deploy a new 4-node vSAN compute-only cluster so that a HCI Mesh can be configured.
Which three points would the vSAN administrator need to consider before using this configuration? (Choose three.)

Q37. A vSAN administrator has a vSAN cluster that is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware. All hosts in the cluster are compliant according to the vLCM image.
A 10GB NIC on the servers is experiencing issues, the vSAN administrator determines a new network driver will resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the required NIC driver is a newer version compared to the driver provided by the most recent Vendor Addon.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take to ensure the latest network driver is installed on the NIC before remediation?

Q38. A 100GB virtual disk object has this storage policy assigned to it:
Site disaster tolerance: None – standard cluster
Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure – RAID-1 (Mirroring)
Number of disk stripes per object: 3
What is the maximum amount of raw vSAN storage capacity consumed by this virtual disk?

Q39. A vSAN administrator notices the VMware Skyline Health: Network Latency Check reports indicate three hosts are non-compliant.
Which action should the vSAN administrator take?

Q40. A vSAN administrator wants to install a patch on an existing vSAN cluster. The environment runs vSphere 7.0, and the patch contains ESXi 7.0 Update 1c. The vSAN administrator will use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to add the patch to the proper image and apply it to the vSAN cluster.
Which action should be performed before patching the ESXi hosts in the vSAN cluster?

Q41. An administrator is responsible for managing a 5-node vSAN 7.0 cluster that hosts 150 virtual machines. Each virtual machine belongs to one of the following vSAN Storage Policies:
vSANPolicy1:
Site Disaster Tolerance: None
Failures to Tolerate: 1 failure – RAIN5 (Erase Coding)
vSANPolicy2:
Site Disaster Tolerance: None
Failures to Tolerate: No data redundancy
Following an unplanned power event within the datacenter, the administrator has been alerted to the fact that one host has permanently failed. Prior to the vSAN host failure, the usable storage capacity of the vSAN Cluster was more than 40%.
What will be the potential impact to any virtual machine that was running on the failed host using vSANPolicy2?

Q42. An Application Clustering Solution requires an in-guest attachable LUN which can be shared across two different VMs.
Which vSAN feature can meet this requirement?

Q43. A new vSAN Cluster with four hosts has to be designed for a single site architecture.
Which design decision is correct?

Q44. A vSAN administrator has been asked to encrypt all traffic for data and metadata across all hosts in a vSAN cluster.
Which action is necessary to achieve this level of encryption?

Q45. A 5-node vSAN cluster contains multiple virtual machines, and a vSAN storage policy with the rule “Failures to tolerate” set to “1 failure – RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)” is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rile in the assigned policy to “2 failures – RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)”.
What is the result of this change?

Q46. A vSAN administrator is troubleshooting poor performance of vSAN cluster while vCenter is not available. The vSAN administrator decides to use a command line tool to monitor real-time vSAN IOPS, throughput, and other metrics on ESXi host.
Which command line tool should be used?

Q47. Which two actions are recommended when adding a host to a vSAN cluster? (Choose two.)

Q48. The objects on a 4-node vSAN cluster are assigned a RAID-5 policy. A network outage occurs, causing host one to lose connectivity with the rest of the cluster. Seventy-five minutes have elapsed.
What is the health state of the objects?

Q49. A vSphere administrator wants to use vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage a vSAN cluster with one desired image. When creating the new cluster, the administrator chooses “Manage all hosts in the cluster with a single image”.
Which option is NOT available when setting up the cluster image?

Q50. A vSAN administrator has three available racks and six vSAN hosts and needs to protect against a rack failure while maximizing resources.
Which two strategies should the vSAN administrator use to achieve this goal? (Choose two.)
