2V0-21.23 Question 391
Select 4A VMware administrator is tasked with configuring a new datastore to support a high-availability application. The storage team has provided an NFS share for this purpose. During the configuration process, the administrator needs to ensure the datastore is accessible across all ESXi hosts in the cluster. Which steps should the administrator take to configure the datastore correctly?
- A
Use the vSphere Client to add a new datastore and select NFS as the type.
- B
Enter the server name and share path provided by the storage team.
- C
Choose VMFS as the file system for the datastore.
- D
Ensure all ESXi hosts in the cluster have access to the NFS share.
- E
Configure the datastore with a unique name to avoid conflicts in the cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To configure an NFS datastore properly, the administrator must select the appropriate type (NFS), provide the correct server and share path, ensure accessibility across all ESXi hosts in the cluster, and assign a unique name. The VMFS file system is not applicable to NFS datastores, making that option incorrect.
- A. Correct.
This step is correct because the administrator must specify the type of datastore (NFS in this case) during the configuration process.
- B. Correct.
The server name and share path are required to connect the ESXi hosts to the NFS datastore.
- C. Incorrect.
This option is incorrect because VMFS is not used for NFS datastores. NFS uses a different file system.
- D. Correct.
This step is necessary to ensure all ESXi hosts in the cluster have access to the datastore, which is critical for high-availability applications.
- E. Correct.
Datastores must have unique names to avoid conflicts and ensure proper identification across the cluster.
