VMware 3V0-21.23 Exam - Topic 1 Question 15 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 3V0-21.23 exam

Question #: 15
Topic #: 1

An architect is working on the design documentation for a new vSphere solution. The architect has completed a conceptual model based on the following requirement:

REQ001 -- The solution must use shared storage

What could the architect include in the logical design to meet this requirement?

AThe use of an NFS mount point, including the IP address of the NFS server it is hosted on

BThe use of an all flash vSAN datastore

CThe use of an HCI solution for a datastore

DThe use of File Based Storage, including the list of permissions applied to the share

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The requirement specifies that the solution must use shared storage, which refers to a storage solution that can be accessed by multiple ESXi hosts simultaneously. NFS (Network File System) is a widely used method for providing shared storage in a vSphere environment. By including the NFS mount point and the IP address of the NFS server, the architect can specify how the shared storage will be configured and accessed by the ESXi hosts, meeting the requirement for shared storage.

C is also a great option, HCI is really efficient.

Shared storage, huh? I just use a USB drive and call it a day. #LivingOnTheEdge

D) File-based storage is so old-school, gotta keep up with the times.

A) Looks good to me, NFS is a classic shared storage solution.

I practiced a similar question where HCI was mentioned as a solution. I wonder if option C could also fit the requirement.

I'm not entirely sure, but I think vSAN is a good option too. It’s designed for shared storage, right?

I remember studying NFS and its role in shared storage, so option A seems like a solid choice.

Based on the requirement, I'd probably go with either A or C. The NFS mount or the HCI solution both seem like they could work to provide the necessary shared storage.

I'm a little confused by the options. Is file-based storage (option D) considered shared storage? I'm not as familiar with that one.

File Based Storage sounds familiar, but I can't recall if it’s the best fit for shared storage in this context.

I think I'd lean towards option C - the HCI solution. That seems like it would meet the shared storage requirement while also aligning with the logical design stage.

Hmm, I'm not sure. The question mentions a "logical design", so I'm wondering if the other options like vSAN or HCI might be more appropriate for that level of detail.

This seems pretty straightforward. I'd go with option A - the NFS mount point. That's a classic shared storage solution.
