2V0-21.23 Question 24
Select 3An organization has implemented a vSAN datastore in their environment. They want to ensure that their virtual machine storage complies with specific performance and availability requirements. Which of the following tasks can be achieved using VMware storage policies?
- A
Specify the number of disk stripes per object for better performance.
- B
Set a policy to automatically migrate VMs to another datastore if the current datastore runs out of space.
- C
Define the availability level by setting the number of failures to tolerate (FTT).
- D
Configure an encryption policy for virtual machine files stored on the datastore.
- E
Set a storage policy to ensure snapshots are automatically consolidated and deleted after 30 days.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
VMware storage policies allow administrators to define specific requirements for performance, availability, and security. These policies are applied at the datastore level to ensure compliance with organizational needs. While storage policies can define parameters like disk stripes, failures to tolerate, and encryption, they do not handle tasks like automatic VM migration or snapshot management.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Storage policies allow administrators to specify the number of disk stripes per object, which can improve performance by spreading data across multiple devices.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: VMware storage policies do not handle automatic migration of VMs to other datastores based on space constraints. Such tasks are managed by other mechanisms like Storage DRS.
- C. Correct.
Correct: Storage policies can define availability settings, such as the number of failures to tolerate (FTT), ensuring data redundancy and resilience.
- D. Correct.
Correct: VMware storage policies can include encryption settings to secure virtual machine files within the datastore.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Storage policies do not manage snapshot retention or automatic consolidation. These tasks are managed through other VM management tools or scripts.
