VMware Exam 5V0-31.23 Topic 1 Question 16 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 5V0-31.23 exam

Question #: 16
Topic #: 1

An administrator wants to deploy a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) VI Workload Domain (WLD). The WLD will use a vSAN stretched cluster across availability zones.

What configuration step meets the requirements?

ACreate a single host overlay network per availability zone with a DHCP scope

BCreate a single host overlay network per availability zone with an IP Pool

CCreate a site for the vSAN Witness by placing a single node ESXi host in the VI WLD

DCreate a site for the vSAN Witness by placing a single node ESXi host in the management WLD

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: D

For a vSAN stretched cluster deployment across availability zones in VMware Cloud Foundation, a vSAN Witness is required to maintain data consistency and quorum between the two sites. This witness node is typically deployed as a single ESXi host in the Management Workload Domain (WLD), separate from the active VI Workload Domain. This configuration provides fault tolerance and ensures that the witness is isolated from the main workload domain, enhancing stability and recovery in case of a failure in one of the availability zones.

Other options are incorrect because they involve configurations that do not meet the specific requirements for a stretched vSAN cluster setup with a dedicated vSAN Witness in a secure, isolated location.

D looks good to me. Placing the vSAN Witness in the management WLD makes more sense than putting it in the VI WLD.

I think the answer is C. Creating a site for the vSAN Witness by placing a single node ESXi host in the VI WLD seems to meet the requirements for a stretched vSAN cluster across availability zones.
