Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-21.21 exam
Question #: 74
Topic #: 5
[All 5V0-21.21 Questions]

An 8-Node vSAN Stretched Cluster (4+4+1) with a single disk group has a policy with PFTT=1 (mirrored across sites) and SFTT=1/FTM Mirroring (Local Protection) configured.

The administrator has been alerted that there is a problem with the cluster. The following has been observed:

* The vSAN Witness Host is offline.

* Two disk failures on two hosts have occurred in the preferred site.

This has resulted in a critical production virtual machine's vmdk becoming inaccessible.

Which step needs to be performed by the administrator to resolve the issue?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: C

the vSAN Witness Host offline and 2 failures in the Preferred Site. In each of the above failure cases, restoring access to the existing vSAN Witness would make the object accessible. ... Deploying a new vSAN Witness would not because the components would not be present. https://core.vmware.com/resource/vsan-stretched-cluster-guide#sec7373-sub5

Wait, why not just fix the disks? Seems odd.

I keep getting mixed up about whether we should replace all failed disks or just one. I guess it depends on the overall cluster health.

This seems similar to a practice question where we had to prioritize restoring the Witness Host. I think option C could be the right choice.

I'm not entirely sure, but I feel like replacing the failed disks might not help if the Witness Host is still offline.

I remember that the Witness Host is crucial for maintaining quorum, so I think we might need to focus on that first.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure, but my initial thought is that replacing the vSAN Witness Host might be the best approach since that seems to be the core issue mentioned in the problem statement. I'll double-check the details to make sure I'm not missing anything.

Based on the vSAN configuration details provided, I believe the correct answer is to replace the failed disks on the preferred site. The policy is set to mirror data across sites, so the issue is likely due to the disk failures, not the vSAN Witness Host being offline.

I'm a bit confused here. The question mentions a critical production VM is inaccessible, but it doesn't explicitly state that the issue is with the vSAN Witness Host being offline. I'm not sure if that's the only step needed to resolve this.

Okay, let's see. The key information seems to be the vSAN Witness Host is offline and there are two disk failures in the preferred site. I think the answer is to replace the vSAN Witness Host.

Hmm, this problem sounds like a real head-scratcher. I'd go with replacing the vSAN Witness Host, but only if it's not being used as a coaster for my coffee mug.

You know, I once had a dream where I was the vSAN Witness Host. It was a thrilling experience, until I woke up and realized I was just a regular human. But I digress, I think B is the way to go.

Wait, we have a single disk group and two disk failures? That's a classic recipe for a hot mess. I'd go with replacing all the failed disks in the preferred site.

Ah, the joys of vSAN! I'd say replace the vSAN Witness Host. Without that, the cluster is about as useful as a chocolate teapot.
