An organization is deploying a VxRail stretch cluster with two sites, Site A and Site B. They want to ensure that if Site A fails, the cluster can continue to serve VMs without interruption. They plan to place the witness node at Site A. What is the primary risk of this placement?

If Site A fails, the cluster loses quorum and cannot continue to operate

The witness will increase latency between sites

The witness will become a single point of failure for the entire cluster

The witness will consume storage capacity at Site A

What happens to the VxRail stretch cluster when one entire site fails?

The VMs are restarted on the witness node

The cluster automatically fails over to a third site

The cluster shuts down to prevent data corruption

The surviving site continues to serve VMs using the witness vote

Which of the following is a limitation of VxRail stretched clusters?

They cannot use vSAN encryption

They support only a single vCenter Server

They require a minimum of six nodes

They cannot span more than two sites

After a site failure in a VxRail stretch cluster, what is the recommended recovery procedure?

Rebuild the failed site from scratch and re-add the nodes to the cluster

Manually copy data from the surviving site to the failed site

Power on the failed site and let vSAN automatically resync data

Restore the failed site from backup and then re-add the nodes

What is the primary role of the witness node in a VxRail stretch cluster?

To provide a tie-breaker vote to maintain quorum during a site failure

To route network traffic between the two sites

To store a copy of all virtual machine data

To host the vCenter Server for the cluster
