Question #: 21
Topic #: 2

[All 2V0-13.24 Questions]

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.)

AA storage policy that would support failure of a single fault domain being the server rack

BTwo vSAN OSA disk groups per host each consisting of a single 300GB Intel NVMe cache drive

CEncryption at rest capable disk drives

DDual 10Gb or faster storage network adapters

ETwo vSAN OSA disk groups per host each consisting of four 4TB Samsung SSD capacity drives

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D, E

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.

I think the storage policy for fault domains is crucial, but I'm not entirely sure if it counts as a physical design decision.
