VMware vSAN Specialist Updated 5V0-22.21 Dumps Questions and Answers [2022]

1. A vSAN administrator wants to install a patch on an existing vSAN cluster. The environment runs vSphere 7.0, and the patch contains ESXi 7.0 Update 1c. The vSAN administrator will use vSphere Lifecycle Manager images to add the patch to the proper image and apply it to the vSAN cluster.

Which action should be performed before patching the ESXi hosts in the vSAN cluster?

2. During yesterday’s business hours, a cache drive failed on one of the vSAN nodes. The administrator reached out to the manufacturer and received a replacement drive the following day. When the drive failed, vSAN started a resync to ensure the health of data, and all objects are showing a healthy and compliant state. The vSAN administrator needs to replace the failed cache drive.

Which set of steps should the vSAN administrator take?

3. An administrator will be performing a rolling upgrade of a vSAN cluster over the weekend.

In preparation, the administrator runs the Data Migration Pre-Check.

Which two items are being checked? (Choose two.)

4. Which state is NOT a compliance status of a VM Storage Policy?

5. Which tool should be used to identify vSAN unassociated objects?

6. The DevOps team of an organization wants to deploy their new cloud native application with persistent storage on a dedicated vSAN cluster. The storage administrator is tasked to configure the vSAN cluster and leverage the vSAN Direct feature.

Which two requirements must the administrator meet to complete this task? (Choose two.)

7. When viewing the VMware Skyline Health: vSAN Object Health report, the vSAN administrator observes that the link “Repair Objects Immediately” is enabled.

What is the meaning of this message?

8. Which option, if any, is the default option to enable Maintenance Mode on a vSAN host?

9. An organization wants to configure a new storage policy based on the following requirements:

✑ Failures to tolerate = FTT 1/RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)

✑ Number of disk stripes per object = 8

✑ IOPS limit for object = 0

✑ Object Space Reservation = Thin provisioning

✑ Flash read cache reservation = 0%

✑ Disable object checksum = No

✑ Force provisioning = No

The administrator creates the policy using storage policy based management and assigns it to a 100GB virtual machine on a 4-node vSAN cluster to test the results of the new storage policy.

How many components will be created per host for the storage objects of the virtual machine on the vSAN datastore?

10. A host in the cluster experiences a permanent NIC failure, and the replacement part will not arrive until the next morning. The administrator needs to ensure the availability of the production workload at all times.

Which step should be taken by the administrator to meet this goal?

11. After a recent data loss event, the IT department plans to deploy a DR site using vSphere Replication with vSAN providing the storage backend.

The architect would like to know how many components will be created based on the following configuration:

✑ 2x 100 GB VMDK

✑ RAID 1 vSAN Storage Policy

✑ 4x Point in Time snapshots

How many components will be created?

12. A customer is running a number of compute-intensive application workloads on their existing 4-node vSAN cluster that has resulted in resource contention. To provide additional compute resources, the vSAN administrator has decided to deploy a new 4-node vSAN compute-only cluster so that a HCI Mesh can be configured.

Which three points would the vSAN administrator need to consider before using this configuration? (Choose three.)

13. A new host with local storage devices has been added to a vSAN cluster. Now, the administrator would like to increase the capacity of the vSAN datastore.

What must be done to the new host to accomplish this goal?

14. A vSAN administrator is using the vSAN ReadyNode Sizer to build a new environment. While entering the cluster configurations, a fellow colleagues inquire about the Operations Reserve option.

What is the purpose of using this option?

15. Which Storage Policy Structure Rule is supported by vSAN Direct Datastore?

16. 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?

17. A 5-node vSAN cluster contains multiple virtual machines, and a vSAN storage policy with the rule “Failures to tolerate” set to “1 failure - RAID-5 (Erasure Coding)” is assigned. A vSAN administrator has changed the rile in the assigned policy to “2 failures - RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)”.

What is the result of this change?

18. After a server power failure, the administrator noticed the scheduled resyncing in the cluster monitor displays objects to be resynchronized under the pending category.

What are these objects in this category?

19. A vSAN administrator is tasked to perform an upgrade of a vSAN cluster from 7.0 to 7.0 U2, including firmware and drivers for its hardware. The vSAN administrator already created an image using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).

Prior to selecting Start Remediation, which step should be taken to upgrade the complete vSAN cluster as a single task?

20. A vSAN administrator has a vSAN cluster that is using vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) to manage hypervisor, server drivers, and firmware. All hosts in the cluster are compliant according to the vLCM image.

A 10GB NIC on the servers is experiencing issues, the vSAN administrator determines a new network driver will resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the required NIC driver is a newer version compared to the driver provided by the most recent Vendor Addon.

Which action should the vSAN administrator take to ensure the latest network driver is installed on the NIC before remediation?

21. A business unit requires proprietary data to be protected against a site failure while using the least amount of storage and the least amount of nodes. AN administrator plans to implement a vSAN Stretched Cluster with a RAID-5 policy.

What is the minimum number of data nodes across all sites in this vSAN Stretched Cluster configuration?

22. A vSAN administrator, who has a cluster that has both compute-only and vSAN ReadyNodes, recently received a request to deploy a new application with higher storage performance requirements than what are currently available.

What are two ways the administrator can reconfigure the vSAN cluster to obtain this additional performance? (Choose two.)

23. An administrator must choose between deploying a virtual witness or physical witness for a vSAN Stretched Cluster. The administrator eventually decides to use a virtual witness.

What is a benefit of selecting this approach?

24. The objects on a 4-node vSAN cluster are assigned a RAID-5 policy. A network outage occurs, causing host one to lose connectivity with the rest of the cluster. Seventy-five minutes have elapsed.

What is the health state of the objects?

25. An existing vSAN cluster has this specification:

✑ Four ESXi hosts with all flash configuration

✑ Each with two disk groups

✑ Each disk group with one cache device and four capacity devices

✑ There are five more device slots available

The CTO would like to provision new applications, and these will need more capacity and performance.

Which two methods may be used by the vSAN administrator to meet this goal? (Choose two.)
