   An administrator is adding a node to a VxRail cluster. The new node has been racked and cabled. The administrator has configured the iDRAC and is ready to begin the expansion. What is the next step in the process?

   • ARun the 'Add Node' wizard in VxRail Manager and provide the new node's management IP address.
   • BAdd the new node to vCenter as a standalone host and then move it into the cluster.
   • CManually install ESXi on the new node using the installation media.
   • DConfigure the new node's vSAN network settings manually before it can be added.

   What is the role of the automated workflow when adding nodes to a VxRail cluster?

   • AIt only adds the nodes to vCenter without configuring vSAN.
   • BIt performs pre-checks and configures the new nodes automatically.
   • CIt deletes existing cluster data to make room for new nodes.
   • DIt requires manual configuration of each new node's network settings.

   After a successful VxRail cluster expansion, the administrator notices that the vSAN storage capacity has increased, but the new nodes are not showing any disk groups. What is the most likely cause?

   • AThe new nodes were added as compute-only nodes.
   • BThe new nodes' disks are not compatible with the vSAN storage policy.
   • CThe disk groups are still being created and initialized by the background workflow.
   • DThe vSAN cluster has reached its maximum number of disk groups per host.

   After expanding a VxRail cluster, the administrator checks the VxRail Manager dashboard and sees a warning about the 'vSAN Health Service'. What should the administrator do to investigate this warning?

   • AReboot the new nodes to reset the vSAN health service.
   • BNavigate to the vSAN Health Service in vCenter to view the specific checks that are failing.
   • CIgnore the warning, as it is a common post-expansion message that will clear automatically.
   • DRe-run the 'Add Node' wizard to fix the health service warning.

   After successfully adding two nodes to a VxRail cluster, the administrator wants to confirm the expansion was successful. Which set of actions provides the most comprehensive validation of the post-expansion state?

   • AReboot all nodes in the cluster to ensure the new nodes are recognized by the operating system.
   • BReview the VxRail Manager dashboard for cluster health, verify the new nodes are listed, and check the vSAN storage capacity and disk group status.
   • CCheck the vSAN health status and verify the new nodes appear in the vSphere Web Client.
   • DRun a performance test on a test VM to ensure the new nodes are providing adequate throughput.
