A VxRail cluster is running vSphere 7.0 U1. The administrator wants to add nodes that were originally shipped with vSphere 7.0 U2. What should be done before expansion?

Add the new nodes; VxRail will automatically downgrade their vSphere version.

Add the new nodes with their current vSphere version; mixed versions are supported.

Create a new cluster with the new nodes and migrate workloads.

Upgrade the existing cluster to vSphere 7.0 U2 before adding the new nodes.

An administrator is about to expand a VxRail cluster by adding one node. What is the recommended best practice before starting the expansion?

Shut down all VMs to avoid data loss during expansion.

Disable vSAN health checks to speed up the expansion process.

Manually add the new node to vCenter before running the expansion wizard.

Run a pre-check to ensure the cluster and new node are healthy and compatible.

When selecting expansion nodes for a VxRail cluster, what must be consistent with the existing nodes?

The node's warranty expiration date

The node's physical color and chassis design

The node's serial number prefix

Which procedure is part of the standard VxRail expansion process?

Rebuild the entire cluster from scratch

Manually assign IP addresses to the new nodes after they are added

Manually configure vSAN on the new nodes before adding them

Use VxRail Manager to add the new nodes to the cluster

How does adding nodes to a VxRail cluster affect storage capacity?

It only increases cache capacity, not capacity tier

It decreases the total raw storage capacity due to overhead

It increases the total raw storage capacity of the cluster

It has no effect on storage capacity
