   An administrator is adding a new disk group to a node in a VxRail cluster. After the operation completes, the administrator notices that the new disk group is in a 'Degraded' state. What should the administrator do next?

   • AIgnore the degraded state since vSAN will automatically heal it.
   • BCheck the disk health and reseat or replace any failing disks.
   • CRemove the disk group and add it again to force a rebuild.
   • DReboot the node to clear the degraded state.

   A VxRail cluster is running low on storage capacity. The administrator decides to add a new disk group to each existing node. After adding the disk groups, which action should the administrator perform to ensure the new capacity is usable by vSAN?

   • AVerify that the new disk groups appear as 'Online' and that vSAN rebalancing completes.
   • BDelete existing disk groups to free up space for the new ones.
   • CRestart all VMs to force them to use the new storage capacity.
   • DManually format the new disks with VMFS before adding them to vSAN.

   A VxRail cluster is running vSphere 7.0 U2 with 4 nodes. The administrator wants to add a 5th node that is a different model with more memory and storage. The pre-check passes, but the administrator is concerned about the impact on the cluster's vSAN storage policy. The cluster uses a storage policy with 'Failures to Tolerate = 1' (FTT=1). What should the administrator do?

   • AVerify that the new node's storage capacity is sufficient to maintain the FTT=1 policy.
   • BIgnore the storage policy since it does not affect node addition.
   • CChange the storage policy to FTT=2 to take advantage of the new node's capacity.
   • DRemove the storage policy before adding the new node.
