Right! But for a new cluster, NVMe is the way to go.

Yes, NVMe is faster, but E could be a backup option.
KE

I’m not sure about E. Isn’t NVMe better?
PI

Definitely A, B, and D. Can't compromise on memory and speed.
JU

I feel like B, D, and C could work. More memory helps.

I’m leaning towards A, D, and E. SAS SSDs are important too.
JA

SAS SSDs? Nah, NVMe is the way to go for performance!

Totally agree with the 10GbE and 256GB, but what about 25GbE?

Wait, are we sure about needing PCIe flash devices? Seems like overkill.

I feel like I’ve seen questions about minimum memory requirements before, but I can’t remember if it was 256GB or 128GB. This is tricky!

I practiced a similar question, and I recall that NVMe devices are often required for performance, so D should definitely be one of the choices.

I remember that for vSAN ESA, having a fast network is crucial, so I think options A and C might be right.
JO

The question says "minimum requirements", so C and D are the way to go. No need for extra fluff.
CH
Cherrie

I think 256GB memory is a must too!
ER
Erinn

You definitely need 10GbE network interfaces for that setup.
DE
Devora

I think A, B, and D are essential.
JE

I’m not entirely sure, but I think the memory requirement is at least 128GB, so maybe F is one of the answers.
MA
Marg
11 months ago
Agreed! 10GbE is a must for performance.
LO

D is a must, but I'm not sure about C. Isn't 10GbE enough for a small cluster?
MA
Marcelle

Haha, who needs 25GbE when you can just use carrier pigeons to transfer data?
BO

I agree, C and D are the minimum requirements. 256GB memory is overkill for a vSAN cluster.
CH

C and D are the correct answers. 10GbE is not enough for an 8-node vSAN cluster.

I'm pretty confident I know the answer to this one. The minimum requirements are 10GbE network interfaces, PCIe flash device (NVMe), and 256GB Memory.

Based on my understanding of vSAN, I think the key requirements are fast networking and high-performance storage. So I'll go with the 10GbE network interfaces and the PCIe flash device (NVMe) option.
BE

I'm a bit confused here. Do I need both 10GbE and 25GbE network interfaces, or just one of them? And what's the difference between the SSD and NVMe options?
HO
Hoa

Okay, let me think this through. I know vSAN requires fast networking and storage, so I'm guessing the 10GbE and PCIe flash device options are likely the right choices.
AS
Ashlee

Hmm, this seems straightforward. I'll need to carefully review the requirements for a vSAN ESA cluster and match them to the options provided.
ST
Staci

I’m leaning towards the 25GbE option as well.
IL
Ilona

Don't forget about the memory requirements too! 256GB seems crucial.
SH

Agreed, but what about the PCIe flash device?
RA

I think we definitely need the 10GbE network interfaces.
