A multinational corporation is deploying a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain cluster to host tier-1 business applications with the following requirements:
* Deliver high performance to all workloads.
* Integration with automated VM placement.
* Reuse of existing infrastructure including multiple Fibre Channel (FC) arrays partitioned by business unit.
* The storage architecture must avoid vSAN.
* Meet organizational separation requirements.
Which two deployment approaches meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

• A. Configure shared VMFS datastores on an assigned FC array as principal storage.
• B. Configure a shared VMFS datastore on an assigned FC array as principal storage.
• C. Configure shared VMFS datastores on an assigned FC array as supplemental storage.
• D. Configure dedicated VMFS datastores on assigned FC arrays as principal storage.
• E. Configure dedicated VMFS datastores on assigned FC arrays as supplemental storage.

An administrator is presented with the following scenario:
* 20 TB of additional storage is being requested by a VM application owner.
* The application has high CPU/Memory requirements that can only be satisfied by the current cluster the application runs in.
* The application has high IOPS and bandwidth requirements to run properly.
* The existing vSAN cluster only has 10 TB of unused capacity.
* The hosts in the cluster have no additional NVMe slots left.
* The administrator does not have permission to purchase additional hosts or re-assign hosts from other vSAN clusters.
* Other vSAN clusters exist in the environment that can satisfy the requirement.
Which vSAN feature should be used to fulfill this scenario?

• A. vSAN HCI Mesh
• B. vSAN Stretched Clusters
• C. vSAN File Services
• D. vSAN Data Protection

An administrator is responsible for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud and has been tasked with identifying and explaining the different Fibre Channel (FC) Storage Area Network (SAN) components within a VCF Workload Domain cluster.
Drag and drop the correct Term onto its matching Definition.

Explanation:
LUN Masking = A security process performed on the storage array by which specific storage components are hidden to prevent unauthorized access to data; Datastore Cluster = A collection of shared resources with a shared management interface that enables resource allocation policies; SAN Fabric = A dedicated high-performance network infrastructure for storage devices; Datastore = A manageable storage entity used as a repository for Virtual Machine files including log files, scripts, configuration files and virtual disks; Host Bus Adapter (HBA) = Added to an ESX host server to allow the host access to the dedicated storage area network; Zoning = A security process completed on the Storage Area Network to ensure only certain devices can communicate with each other.
These definitions describe the core components of a Fibre Channel SAN design in a VCF Workload Domain. LUN masking is performed on the storage array and controls which hosts can see specific LUNs, preventing unauthorized access to storage. A datastore cluster is a collection of datastores managed as a shared resource pool, allowing placement and balancing policies through Storage DRS. A SAN fabric is the dedicated high-performance network that interconnects ESX hosts, Fibre Channel switches, and storage arrays. A datastore is the vSphere logical storage container where VM configuration files, virtual disks, logs, and related files reside. A Host Bus Adapter is the physical or virtual adapter in the ESX host that connects the host to the Fibre Channel storage area network.
Zoning is performed on the Fibre Channel fabric and controls which initiators and targets can communicate. Together, zoning and LUN masking provide layered access control, while datastores and datastore clusters provide the vSphere consumption model. Reference topics: Fibre Channel SAN Concepts, SAN Fabric, Zoning, LUN Masking, VMFS Datastores, Datastore Clusters.

An architect is presented with the following requirements for the storage solution in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain.
The solution must:
* Allow for rapid recovery in case of an availability zone failure.
* Provide an extremely high amount of IOPS to all applications.
* Allow for additional storage to be added as application needs grow.
* Provide the lowest latency possible for configured applications.
* Provide recovery in case of datastore failure.
* Encrypt data in transit and at rest.
What two vSAN advanced technologies must be deployed to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

• A. vSAN Storage Cluster
• B. vSAN Stretched Clusters
• C. vSAN Data Protection Service
• D. vSAN File Service
• E. vSAN iSCSI Target Service

An administrator is tasked with configuring the vSAN File Service to deliver NFS file shares for an Edge environment.
Which three are required to deliver the service? (Choose three.)

• A. Hosts connected to a DVS version 6.6.0 or later.
• B. Jumbo frames are enabled on the network and the DVS port group.
• C. MAC Learning and Forged Transmits are disabled.
• D. vSAN Witness functionality is enabled on each VMkernel.
• E. Create a dedicated port group for vSAN File Services in the DVS.
• F. If using an NSX-based network, ensure that MAC Learning is enabled.
