The following design decisions were made relating to storage design:
* A storage policy that would support failure of a single fault domain being the server rack
* Two vSAN OSA disk groups per host each consisting of four 4TB Samsung SSD capacity drives
* Two vSAN OSA disk groups per host each consisting of a single 300GB Intel NVMe cache drive
* Encryption at rest capable disk drives
* Dual 10Gb or faster storage network adapters
Which two design decisions would an architect include within the physical design? (Choose two.)
Physical design in VCF focuses on hardware specifications, not policies or logical configurations. Option D, 'Dual 10Gb or faster storage network adapters,' and Option E, 'Two vSAN OSA disk groups with four 4TB Samsung SSDs,' specify physical components (NICs, drives) critical to vSAN performance and redundancy in the physical layer. Option A (storage policy) is logical, defined in vSphere. Option B (cache drives) and C (encryption capability) are also physical but less specific without vendor/model details compared to E, and encryption is often a feature, not a standalone decision. D and E are the clearest physical design elements per VCF 5.2 vSAN OSA requirements.
