2V0-21.23 Question 22
Single answerA VMware administrator is configuring a new virtual machine in a vSphere environment. The administrator wants to ensure that the virtual machine's storage meets specific requirements for performance and availability, such as IOPS limits and redundancy. Which feature should the administrator use to achieve this goal?
- A
VMware Storage Policies
- B
VMware vSAN Witness
- C
VMware Storage DRS
- D
VMware vMotion
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
VMware Storage Policies are specifically designed to define and enforce storage requirements for virtual machines, such as performance (IOPS) and redundancy. By applying a storage policy, the administrator can ensure the virtual machine is provisioned on a datastore that meets the defined requirements, making it the correct choice in this scenario.
- A. Correct.
VMware Storage Policies allow administrators to define specific storage capabilities and requirements, such as performance (IOPS) and redundancy, to ensure that virtual machines meet those requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
VMware vSAN Witness is used in stretched cluster configurations to maintain quorum, but it does not define storage performance or redundancy policies.
- C. Incorrect.
VMware Storage DRS is used to balance storage workloads across datastores but does not define specific performance or redundancy requirements for a virtual machine.
- D. Incorrect.
VMware vMotion is used for live migration of virtual machines between hosts but does not manage storage policies.
