   A VxRail cluster has been running with a vSAN storage policy of FTT=2 (two failures tolerated). The administrator wants to remove one node. The cluster currently has 30% free capacity. What should the administrator do before initiating the removal?

   • AVerify that the cluster has enough free capacity to rebuild data from the removed node while maintaining FTT=2.
   • BAdd a new node to the cluster before removing the old one to maintain capacity.
   • CEnsure that the node to be removed is not hosting any VMs with FTT=2 policy.
   • DChange the storage policy to FTT=1 before removal to reduce the required free capacity.

   What is the immediate impact on cluster capacity after a node is removed?

   • ACapacity increases because the remaining nodes have more space
   • BCapacity decreases by the node's storage and compute resources
   • CCapacity remains the same because VMs are migrated
   • DCapacity is temporarily reduced but returns after rebalancing

   A VxRail cluster has six nodes, each with 10 TB of raw storage. The cluster is using a vSAN storage policy with FTT=1 (one failure tolerated). The administrator plans to remove one node. What is the most important impact to assess before proceeding?

   • AThe cluster will automatically change the storage policy to FTT=0 to accommodate the reduced capacity.
   • BThe cluster will need to be rebalanced to distribute data evenly across the remaining nodes.
   • CThe cluster will experience a performance degradation because the removed node's CPU and memory resources are lost.
   • DThe cluster will lose 10 TB of raw storage capacity, potentially affecting the ability to maintain FTT=1 for all VMs.

   What is the primary purpose of removing a node from a VxRail cluster?

   • ATo permanently decommission hardware that is no longer needed
   • BTo reduce the cluster's capacity and node count in a controlled manner
   • CTo temporarily isolate a node for maintenance without affecting the cluster
   • DTo replace a failed node with a new one automatically

   An administrator is preparing to remove a node from a VxRail cluster. The cluster health check shows that the vSAN health is 'degraded' due to a failed disk in one of the nodes. What should the administrator do?

   • AResolve the disk failure and ensure the cluster is healthy before attempting node removal.
   • BRemove the node with the failed disk first to eliminate the problem.
   • CProceed with the removal because the failed disk is in a different node than the one being removed.
   • DIgnore the vSAN health warning and proceed with the removal.
