VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 200
Select 3You are managing a VMware Cloud Foundation environment and need to ensure that virtual machines (VMs) hosting a critical database workload are compliant with specific storage requirements such as redundancy, performance, and encryption. The storage infrastructure includes a vSAN datastore and an NFS datastore. Which actions should you take to configure and apply the appropriate VM storage policy?
- A
Create a storage policy that specifies vSAN RAID-1 configuration for redundancy and apply it to the critical database VMs.
- B
Use the default storage policy provided by vSAN, as it automatically meets all workload requirements.
- C
Create a storage policy that includes encryption enabled and apply it to the VMs hosting the database.
- D
Apply a storage policy designed for the NFS datastore to the database VMs to ensure compatibility.
- E
Validate that the vSAN datastore meets the policy requirements using the compliance check feature.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
Configuring and applying a VM storage policy tailored to workload requirements like redundancy and encryption is critical for ensuring performance and data protection. Using the compliance check feature verifies that the storage policy is properly enforced. Default policies and incompatible datastore policies should not be used in this scenario as they do not meet specific requirements.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. Creating a storage policy with RAID-1 ensures redundancy, which is essential for critical workloads like databases.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. The default storage policy might not meet specific requirements such as redundancy or encryption for critical workloads.
- C. Correct.
This is correct. Enabling encryption in the storage policy ensures that sensitive database data is protected.
- D. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. NFS datastore policies are not compatible with vSAN storage infrastructure and do not meet the workload's requirements.
- E. Correct.
This is correct. Running a compliance check ensures that the vSAN datastore adheres to the storage policy requirements, verifying that the VMs are compliant.
