A VxRail administrator notices that a VM's performance has degraded. The vSAN health checks show no errors, but the storage policy has a 'Number of failures to tolerate' of 1. What should the administrator check next to identify a potential cause of the performance issue?

Rebuild the VM's storage policy to RAID-6

Check the vSAN health status for disk group errors

Verify that the VM is on the preferred site in a stretched cluster

Review the vSAN performance service metrics for the VM's disk I/O latency and throughput

A VxRail cluster has 8 hosts physically distributed across two racks in the same data center. The administrator wants to protect against the failure of an entire rack. Which vSAN configuration should be used?

Set PFTT=1 and rely on vSAN's default replica placement

Create a stretched cluster with the two racks as separate sites

Configure two fault domains, each containing 4 hosts from one rack

A VxRail cluster is being sized for a VDI workload with 2,000 desktops. The storage architect wants to maximize usable capacity. The workload has high redundancy (many identical OS images) and moderate I/O. Which vSAN configuration should be recommended?

Enable deduplication only with RAID-6

Enable deduplication and compression with RAID-5

Disable deduplication and use RAID-1 with PFTT=1

A VxRail cluster hosts a mix of production VMs and development VMs. The production VMs require high availability, while the development VMs can tolerate lower availability. The administrator wants to maximize capacity efficiency without compromising production availability. What should the administrator do?

Apply a RAID-5 policy to all VMs

Apply a RAID-1 policy with PFTT=2 to all VMs

Apply a RAID-6 policy to production VMs and a RAID-5 policy to development VMs

Apply a RAID-1 policy with PFTT=1 to production and RAID-6 to development

What is the purpose of a vSAN fault domain in a VxRail cluster?

To isolate vSAN network traffic from other network traffic.

To group hosts that share a common point of failure, such as a rack or chassis.

To separate vSAN storage from vSphere management storage.

To define which VMs can run on which hosts.
