VMware 5V0-21.21 Exam - Topic 1 Question 94 Discussion

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

Question #: 94
Topic #: 1

A company hosts a vSAN 7 stretched cluster for all development workloads. The original sizing of a maximum of 250 concurrent workloads in the vSAN cluster is no longer sufficient and needs to increase to at least 500 concurrent workloads within the next six months.

To meet this demand, the original 8-node (4-4-1) cluster has recently been expanded to 16 nodes (8-8-1).

Which three additional steps should the administrator take to support the current growth plans while minimizing the amount of resources required at the witness site? (Choose three.)

AAdd the new vSAN witness appliance to vCenter Server.

BDeploy a new large vSAN witness appliance at the witness site.

CConfigure the vSAN stretched cluster to use the new vSAN witness.

DDeploy a new extra large vSAN witness appliance at the witness site.

EUpgrade the vSAN stretched cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.

FConfigure the new vSAN witness as a shared witness appliance.

Upgrading to vSAN 7.0 U1 seems like a good idea, but I can't recall if it's necessary for this specific scenario.

I feel like deploying a new large witness appliance could be overkill. Maybe we should consider the shared witness option instead?

I think we practiced a similar question where we had to configure the witness. It might be important to ensure it's set up correctly.

I remember something about needing to add the witness appliance to vCenter, but I'm not sure if that's the only step we need.
