VMware Exam 5V0-21.21 Topic 3 Question 70 Discussion

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

Question #: 70
Topic #: 3

An administrator would like to upgrade ten identically configured 2-node vSAN clusters from vSAN 6.7 U3 to vSAN 7.0 U1. Currently, each 2-node vSAN cluster is using a dedicated vSAN witness host appliance. As a result of the upgrade, the administrator would like to leverage the vSAN shared witness feature to reduce the resources being consumed.

In preparation for the first vSAN cluster upgrade, the administrator has completed the following tasks:

1. Upgraded vCenter Server to vCenter Server 7.0 U1.

2. vSphere High Availability (HA) has been disabled on the vSAN Cluster.

3. Upgraded the vSAN witness host appliance to vSphere 7.0 U1.

4. Upgraded both vSAN data nodes to vSphere 7.0 U1.

The key requirement is to ensure that backwards compatibility to the existing version of vSAN is maintained during the upgrade process.

Which three additional steps should the administrator complete to ensure that subsequent clusters can share the same vSAN Witness? (Choose three.)

AUpgrade the vSAN On-Disk Format (ODF) to version 12.

BManually update the vSAN Witness with a vSAN 7 license key.

CUpdate the vSAN cluster to use the new vSAN witness host appliance.

DConfigure the existing witness host appliance to act as a shared witness.

EDeploy a new vSAN 7.0 U1 witness host appliance to act as a shared witness.

FUpgrade the vSAN On-Disk Format (ODF) to version 13.

Definitely option D. Configuring the existing witness host appliance to act as a shared witness is the way to go. Keeps things simple and efficient.

I agree, using the existing witness host appliance as a shared witness is a smart move.
