Refer to the Exhibit.

A Storage Policy for a Virtual SAN is set to the default policy, as shown in the Exhibit. Which change would reduce the storage consumption by one third?

• A. Number of failures to tolerate = 1
• B. Number of disk stripes per object = 2
• C. Number of failures to tolerate = 3
• D. Number of disk stripes per object = 1

Answer: A

Explanation: Number of failures to tolerate defines the number of host, disk, or network failures a virtual machine object can tolerate. For n failures tolerated, n+1 copies of the virtual machine object are created and 2n+1 hosts with storage are required.
Default value is 1. Maximum value is 3.

NEW QUESTION 7
An administrator observes that virtual machine storage activity on an ESXi 6.x host is negatively affecting virtual machine storage activity on another host that is accessing the same VMFS Datastore.
Which action would mitigate the issue?

• A. Enable Storage IO Control.
• B. Configure Storage DRS.
• C. Enable the Dynamic Queue Depth Throttling option.
• D. Configure the Disk.SchedNumReqOutstanding parameter.

Answer: A

Explanation: SIOC is extremely powerful, it can increase your consolidation ratios on the storage side, allowing more VM's per datastore. Which leads to lower storage costs and less administrative overhead.
So how does it work? At a basic level SIOC is monitoring the end to end latency of a datastore. When there is congestion (the latency is higher than the configured value) SIOC reduces the latency by throttling back VM's who are using excessive I/O. Now you might say, I need that VM to have all of those I/O's, which in many cases is true, you simply need to give the VMDK(s) of that VM a higher share value. SIOC will use the share values assigned to the VM's VMDK's to prioritize access to the datastore.
Just simply turning SIOC on will guarantee each VMDK has equal access to the datastore, shares fine tune that giving you the ability to give VMDK's more or less priority during times of contention.

Which three troubleshooting actions should an administrator take to address slow performance when deploying a virtual machine template? (Choose three.)

• A. Increase network throughput by adding additional uplinks to the vSwitch.
• B. Change the destination datastore or volume for the virtual machine template.

NEW QUESTION 16
In which two vsphere.local groups should an administrator avoid adding members?
(Choose two.)

• A. SolutionUsers
• B. Administrators
• C. DCAdmins
• D. ExternalPDUsers

Answer: AB

Explanation: The vsphere.local domain includes several predefined groups. Assign users to one of those groups to be able to perform the corresponding actions.
For all objects in the vCenter Server hierarchy, permissions are assigned by pairing a user and a role with the object. For example, you can select a resource pool and give a group of users read privileges to that resource pool by giving them the corresponding role.
For some services that are not managed by vCenter Server directly, privileges are determined by membership to one of the vCenter Single Sign-On groups. For example, a user who is a member of the Administrator group can manage vCenter Single Sign-On. A user who is a member of the CAAdmins group can manage the VMware Certificate Authority, and a user who is in the LicenseService.Administrators group can manage licenses.
