2V0-21.23 Question 32
Single answerAn administrator is managing a VMware vSphere environment and wants to optimize storage resource utilization by grouping multiple datastores together. The administrator also wants to enable automatic load balancing based on space and I/O capacity utilization. Which feature of datastore clusters should the administrator use to achieve this?
- A
Storage DRS
- B
vSAN
- C
Storage I/O Control
- D
Thin Provisioning
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Datastore clusters allow administrators to group multiple datastores into a single entity to simplify management and optimize resource utilization. Storage DRS, a feature within datastore clusters, automates the load balancing of space and I/O workloads across the datastores, making it the correct choice for this scenario.
- A. Correct.
Storage DRS is a key feature of datastore clusters that provides automatic load balancing by considering factors such as space utilization and I/O workload. This is the correct answer.
- B. Incorrect.
vSAN is a software-defined storage solution provided by VMware, but it is not directly related to datastore clusters or their load balancing functionality.
- C. Incorrect.
Storage I/O Control is a feature that prioritizes storage resources for virtual machines but does not provide the automated load balancing capabilities required by the scenario.
- D. Incorrect.
Thin Provisioning is a storage technique that allows overcommitment of storage space but does not address the management or load balancing of datastore clusters.
