   An administrator is adding a node to a VxRail cluster. The 'Add Node' wizard has completed successfully, but the new node is showing as 'Not Responding' in vCenter. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe vCenter Server is temporarily overloaded and needs a moment to update the node's status.
   • BThe new node has not been assigned a valid IP address.
   • CThe ESXi host's management agents (e.g., vpxa) may not have started or are experiencing a communication issue with vCenter.
   • DThe new node's vSAN disks are not formatted correctly.

   After a VxRail cluster expansion, the administrator wants to verify that the new nodes are correctly contributing storage to the vSAN datastore. Which view in vCenter provides the most direct confirmation of this?

   • AThe 'VMs' view, which shows the virtual machines running on the new nodes.
   • BThe 'vSAN' view in the cluster settings, which shows the capacity and disk groups for each host.
   • CThe 'Storage' view, which shows the total capacity of the vSAN datastore.
   • DThe 'Hosts and Clusters' view, which shows the new nodes' CPU and memory usage.

   An administrator is planning to expand a VxRail cluster that is currently using a 2-node configuration with a witness. The expansion will add two more nodes, bringing the cluster to 4 nodes. What is a key consideration for this expansion?

   • AThe administrator must plan for the removal of the witness after the expansion is complete, as it is no longer needed for quorum.
   • BThe witness node must be upgraded to a larger configuration to support the additional nodes.
   • CThe cluster will automatically transition from a 2-node to a 4-node configuration without any additional configuration.
   • DThe witness node must be removed from the cluster before adding the new nodes.
