This question is making my brain hurt. I'm just gonna go with vmk2 and hope for the best. At least it sounds more plausible than vmk1, right?

Wait, isn't vmk3 the interface for vMotion? I always get those two mixed up. Maybe I should have paid more attention during the training.

Okay, let me think this through. If vSAN is the software-defined storage layer, then it makes sense that it would use a dedicated VMkernel interface like vmk3.

Ha! Trick question, it's obviously vmk1. Everyone knows that's the default VMkernel interface.

You know, I bet the correct answer is vmk3 just because the question is trying to trick us. Those VxRail engineers have a wicked sense of humor.

Ah, I remember now! It's vmk4, the one used for storage traffic. VxRail makes it nice and simple.
