   Which networking requirement is essential for a VxRail 2-node cluster?

   • AA dedicated VLAN for vSAN witness traffic between the nodes and the witness.
   • BA public IP address for each node to allow remote management.
   • CA separate storage network for each node to avoid interference.
   • DA single physical NIC for all traffic to simplify configuration.

   Which statement correctly describes the external witness in a VxRail 2-node cluster?

   • AIt is a lightweight virtual appliance that participates in quorum and vSAN witness traffic.
   • BIt is a software component installed on each node to monitor cluster health.
   • CIt must be a physical appliance with the same specifications as the cluster nodes.

   In a VxRail 2-node cluster, what is the role of the witness node?

   • AIt runs the vCenter Server and all management services for the cluster.
   • BIt stores a copy of all virtual machine data to provide additional capacity.
   • CIt provides a quorum vote to help maintain cluster availability when one node fails.
   • DIt acts as a backup target for snapshots and replication of virtual machines.

   What happens to virtual machines when one node in a 2-node VxRail cluster fails?

   • AThey are migrated to the witness node to continue running.
   • BThey are automatically restarted on the surviving node if vSphere HA is configured.
   • CThey are lost because the witness does not store VM data.

   A company is deploying a VxRail 2-node cluster at a remote branch office. The two ESXi hosts are in the same rack, connected to the same top-of-rack switches. The external witness will be placed at the corporate headquarters, connected over a WAN link. During a maintenance window, one of the two hosts must be rebooted for firmware updates. The administrator wants to ensure that VMs remain running and the cluster remains fully functional during the reboot. What is the most important design consideration to verify before proceeding?

   • AThe two ESXi hosts are configured in a single vSphere HA cluster with a single master host.
   • BThe witness node is a physical appliance with the same hardware specifications as the two ESXi hosts.
   • CThe witness node is configured with a static IP address on the same subnet as the vSAN VMkernel ports.
   • DThe vSAN witness traffic is placed on a dedicated VLAN with sufficient bandwidth and low latency to the witness node.
