Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-21.21 exam

Question #: 66
Topic #: 5

A customer is planning to migrate their physical Microsoft SQL Server clustered workloads to vSAN enabled vSphere clusters.

The following requirements must be met:

* Each MSSQL cluster is made up of 3 nodes

* Highest possible availability against node failures

* Some of the vSAN clusters will only consume storage

What should the architect recommend?

AvSAN iSCSI Target Service

BStretched vSAN Cluster

CvSAN Direct

DvSAN File Services

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

vSAN 6.7 expands the functionality of the vSAN iSCSI Target service to provide the SCSI-3 persistent reservations support for shared disks for windows failover cluster if using the SQL Server FCI, high availability mode is a requirement. The vSAN iSCSI Target service at the vSAN cluster level should be enabled for this purpose. VSAN streched cluster may be used to increase the data availability across data centres. https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2019/03/26/considerations-for-running-microsoft-sql-server-workloads-on-vmware-vsan/

Hold up, what if the architect just recommends a good old-fashioned physical MSSQL cluster? No virtual shenanigans needed! Just kidding, Stretched vSAN Cluster is probably the way to go.

Haha, vSAN File Services? I don't think that's what they're looking for here. Gotta go with the Stretched vSAN Cluster, it's the most logical choice.

I'm leaning towards the vSAN iSCSI Target Service. It seems like a straightforward way to migrate the physical MSSQL clusters to the vSphere environment.

Ooh, vSAN Direct looks interesting! But I'm not sure if it's the right fit for this scenario. Maybe the architect should consider Stretched vSAN Cluster for the best availability.

B: Yeah, vSAN Direct might not be the best fit for this scenario. Stretched vSAN Cluster seems like the way to go.

That's a good point, Terina. We should consider the specific requirements of each cluster before making a decision.

Hmm, I think the Stretched vSAN Cluster would be the best option here. It provides the highest availability and can handle the 3-node MSSQL cluster requirement.
