Explanation:
Explanation:
Virtual machines deployed on Virtual SAN are made up of a set of objects. For example, a VMDK is an
object, a snapshot is an object, VM swap space is an object, and the VM home namespace (where
the .vmx file, log files, etc. are stored) is also an object. Each of these objects is comprised of a set of
components, determined by capabilities placed in the VM Storage Policy.

Question 8

A newly deployed vSAN cluster runs vSAN 7.0, and the vSAN cluster needs an integration with a
third-party software solution. The software solution provides full app-level redundancy, and it runs
on the vSAN Data Persistence platform.
The administrator configures vSAN Direct Configuration to integrate the third-party storage with
vSAN and now needs to configure a storage policy to make sure the vSAN Direct storage is used by
the vSAN Data Persistence platform third-party software solution.
Which type of storage policy configuration should the administrator use?

  • A. A storage policy with tag or capability-based rules for vSAN Direct
  • B. A storage policy with capability-based rules for third-party storage
  • C. A vSAN shared nothing policy with no data redundancy (FTT=0)
  • D. AvSAN storage policy with one failure to tolerate (N 1=1)
