A VCF administrator is troubleshooting an ESXi host that is showing a datastore as 'Inaccessible' in vCenter Server. The host can ping the storage array's management IP, but the vmkernel log shows repeated 'Storage APD' events. What is the most likely cause of the datastore being inaccessible?

The host's CPU is overloaded, causing storage I/O to time out.

The vpxa service is not running, causing the datastore to appear inaccessible.

The storage array is not presenting the LUN to the host due to a zoning or masking misconfiguration.

The host's management network is down, preventing communication with the storage array.

In the context of a VCF workload domain, what is the purpose of establishing a baseline of ESXi host behavior before troubleshooting?

To compare current performance and configuration against a known-good state

To automatically apply the latest VMware patches to the host

To ensure the host is placed in maintenance mode before any changes

To generate a compliance report for the VCF inventory

Which remediation action is considered the LAST RESORT when an ESXi host cannot be restored to a functional state through other troubleshooting steps?

Reapplying the VCF cluster image

Which vSphere Client view shows the status of all datastores accessible to an ESXi host, including their capacity and free space?

Networking view in the host's Configure tab

Storage Devices view in the host's Configure tab

Storage view in the host's Monitor tab

Virtual Machines view in the host's Monitor tab
