Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-21.21 exam

Question #: 63
Topic #: 3

An architect is currently working with a customer to transform their existing ESXi hosts to vSAN nodes. The customer expressed the following requirements.

* First phase will transform 50% of the hosts to a hybrid vSAN nodes.

* Second phase will transform the remaining 50% hosts to an All-Flash vSAN nodes.

The following constraint exists:

* Each host has a 4-port x 1 GbE network interface.

Which two recommendations should the architect make to align with the customer's requirements? (Choose two.)

AHybrid vSAN clusters can have shared 1 GbE network adapters.

BAll-Flash vSAN clusters must have dedicated 10 GbE network adapters.

CHybrid vSAN clusters must have dedicated 1 GbE network adapters.

DAll-Flash vSAN clusters can have shared 10 GbE network adapters.

EHybrid vSAN clusters must have dedicated 10 GbE network adapters.

B) and C) are definitely the way to go. I can't imagine trying to run a production vSAN on shared 1 GbE links. That's just asking for trouble.

Haha, shared 10 GbE network adapters for an all-flash vSAN? What is this, the stone age?

I'm not sure why anyone would want to share 1 GbE network adapters for a vSAN cluster. That just sounds like a recipe for disaster.

I agree, shared 1 GbE network adapters for a vSAN cluster doesn't seem like a good idea.

B) and C) seem like the right answers. Dedicated network adapters are a must for both hybrid and all-flash vSAN configurations.

That makes sense. Each configuration has specific network adapter requirements to meet the customer's needs.

You're right, Krissy. Option B seems like the best choice for the All-Flash phase to ensure optimal performance.

But wouldn't dedicated 10 GbE network adapters be better for the All-Flash vSAN nodes in the second phase?

I agree with Cyril, shared 1 GbE network adapters would be cost-effective for the hybrid phase.

I think the architect should recommend option A for the hybrid vSAN nodes.
