An administrator has deployed a new vSAN OSA cluster that contains eight hosts and needs to configure a storage policy for the currently deployed database virtual machines. The requirements state that if two hosts in the vSAN OSA cluster fail, all virtual machines are unaffected.

Which RAID configuration must the administrator use in this storage policy to achieve the best performance for the database virtual machines?

Hah, you guys are all missing the obvious answer here. It's RAID-5, duh! It gives you the redundancy you need without taking too much of a hit on performance. Although, I do have to admit, I'm kind of hoping they throw in a question about nested ESXi hosts next, that's my specialty.

Ooh, maybe it's a trick question and the answer is none of the above? I mean, with vSAN you can just use the built-in storage policies to get the redundancy you need, right? No need to mess with RAID at all. But then again, I could be overthinking this...

RAID-0? Are you out of your mind? This is a mission-critical database we're talking about, not some cat video hosting service. I think RAID-6 is the way to go, it's the perfect balance of performance and fault tolerance. Although, I do have to wonder why they're not asking about other vSAN features like witness hosts or stretched clusters...

Are you guys serious? RAID-1? That's so old-school! This is a vSAN cluster, we've got to think outside the box here. I say RAID-0 all the way - maximum performance, who needs redundancy anyway? Yolo, am I right?

Hmm, I'm not so sure about RAID-6. Wouldn't that sacrifice a bit of performance since you're writing to more disks? I'm thinking RAID-1 might be the way to go here. It's not as space-efficient, but it should give you the redundancy you need without taking too much of a hit on speed.

Whoa, this question is a real brain-teaser! I'm scratching my head trying to figure out the best RAID configuration to keep those database VMs up and running even if two hosts go down. I guess RAID-6 would be the way to go, since it can handle the loss of two disks, right?
