There is a request to add new disks to an existing VM residing on a VxRail vSAN that you manage. One disk is 250 GB. The VM is using the vSAN default storage policy.
How many vSAN objects will be created?

How many vSAN objects will be created?
When a new disk is added to a VM using the vSAN default storage policy, it typically creates multiple objects. The default policy uses RAID-1 mirroring for data protection. RAID-1 requires two copies of the data (replicas), plus a witness object to ensure quorum. For a single 250 GB disk, two replicas and one witness object are needed. Therefore, for each new disk, three vSAN objects are created (2 replicas + 1 witness). As only one 250 GB disk is being added, it results in the creation of 3 vSAN objects.
It should be 6 not 9. RAID-1 2x so 3 disk x 2 = 6
this questioned is shortened! the original question is about adding two(!) disks: a 250gb and a 500gb disk. therefore 9 objects are correct because the 500gb gets split.
I think answer is 3
this is only 2, because is default policy is RAID 1
