When a vSAN alarm is triggered, what is the most direct way to view the details and recommended actions for that alarm in vSphere Client?

Navigate to the vSAN cluster's Monitor tab and select 'Alarms'

Check the vCenter Server logs in /var/log/vmware/vpxd.log

Use the esxcli storage vSAN cluster get command

Open the vSAN Health Service and run all tests

A vSAN cluster is at 80% capacity usage. The administrator is planning to add more VMs. The administrator wants to ensure that the cluster does not run out of capacity. What is the most effective long-term solution?

Enable the 'vSAN Capacity Monitoring' feature.

Change the storage policy to 'RAID-5' to reduce capacity usage.

Add a new disk group to each host in the cluster.

Delete all snapshots and old VMs.

A vSAN cluster is experiencing high latency for all VMs. The administrator runs 'vsantop' and sees that the 'DAVG/cmd' is high, but the 'KAVG' is low. What does this indicate?

The storage devices are slow, causing high device latency.

The CPU is overloaded, causing high device latency.

The vSAN network is congested, causing high kernel latency.

The cache tier is not being used effectively, causing high device latency.

Which of the following is a key principle of the vSAN troubleshooting methodology?

Isolate the issue by systematically testing components and using multiple data sources

Focus only on the most recent event in the logs

Always restart the vSAN cluster to resolve issues

Use a single source of information to avoid confusion

What is a common issue that can occur in a stretched cluster if the witness host loses connectivity to both data sites?

The cluster may lose quorum and become read-only or unavailable

The witness will be automatically replaced by a new host

The cluster will automatically fail over to the secondary site

The cluster will continue to operate normally
