A VxRail cluster currently has 4 nodes and is running at 80% storage capacity. The administrator plans to add 2 nodes to increase capacity. What is the most important consideration regarding cluster resources before proceeding?

Ensure the new nodes have the same amount of memory as the existing nodes.

Check that the new nodes have a higher CPU generation to improve performance.

Confirm that the new nodes will be added to the same vSAN cluster and will participate in storage rebalancing.

Verify that the new nodes will not cause vSAN to exceed the maximum number of disk groups.

A company is expanding a VxRail cluster by adding two nodes. The existing cluster uses 25GbE networking. The new nodes have 10GbE network ports. What should the administrator do?

Add the new nodes with 10GbE; VxRail will automatically adjust the network speed.

Use a separate network for the new nodes to avoid impacting the existing cluster.

Reduce the existing cluster's network speed to 10GbE to match the new nodes.

Configure the new nodes with 25GbE networking to match the existing cluster.

What is a likely performance benefit of adding nodes to a VxRail cluster?

Reduced network latency for all existing VMs

Guaranteed improvement in storage performance for all workloads

Increased aggregate CPU and memory resources for running more VMs

Elimination of the need for vSAN storage policies

What is a recommended best practice before starting a VxRail cluster expansion?

Upgrade all nodes to the latest firmware without checking compatibility

Remove all VMs from the cluster to avoid disruption

Take a backup of the cluster configuration and verify current health

Disable all alarms to avoid false alerts during expansion

After a VxRail cluster expansion, the administrator notices that vSAN performance is degraded. What is the most likely cause?

The cluster is now over capacity.

The new nodes have a different disk type than the existing nodes.

vSAN is rebalancing data across the new nodes.

The new nodes are not properly connected to the network.
