Question 96

What are two minimum disk requirements for a vSAN hybrid disk group configuration? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: A, D

    For a vSAN hybrid disk group configuration, you need at least one magnetic data disk and at least one flash device. The magnetic data disk is used as the capacity tier, while the flash device operates as the cache tier to accelerate performance. These requirements ensure that the system can provide both storage capacity and the speed necessary for efficient data operations.

1 SSD and 2 HDD are for better performance, but the minimum is 1 SSD and 1 HDD. A and D are correct for hybrid config. https://www.vmware.com/resources/compatibility/vsan_profile.html "The number of capacity tier drives in a disk group has an impact of the performance of vSAN. While a single capacity tier drive is the minimum requirement for a disk group, for better performance when there are more VMs, and better handling of rebuild/resync activities, we recommend configuring more than 1 capacity tier drive per caching tier SSD per our guidance above."

Cache: One SAS or SATA solid-state disk (SSD) or PCIe flash device. Virtual machine data storage: For hybrid group configuration, make sure that at least one SAS, NL-SAS, or SATA magnetic disk is available https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.virtualsan.doc/GUID-4B738A10-4506-4D70-8339-28D8C8331A15.html

UCorsuOptions: AD

A & D are correct For hybrid group configuration, make sure that at least one SAS or NL-SAS magnetic disk is available. For all-flash disk group configuration, make sure at least one SAS, or SATA solid-state disk (SSD), or PCIe flash device. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vsan-planning.doc/GUID-4B738A10-4506-4D70-8339-28D8C8331A15.html

a good explanation is: • Minimum of 3 ESXi 6.0 host that contribute storage. • At least one SSD and one Hard Disk per host. • Hosts need I/O controller supporting Pass Through or RAID 0 (prefer them to be on the VSAN Hardware Compatibility List) • VMkernel port configured for VSAN traffic. https://www.virtuallyboring.com/vmware-virtual-san-6-requirements-part-1/

A & D is correct Disk Groups One of the more important aspects of the vSAN wizard is the creation of disk groups. Each host must have at least one disk group. By placing physical disks into them, we make each disk group available for vSAN to consume. Disk Groups will be either Hybrid or All-flash; they cannot be both. Each group must contain: Exactly one SSD for cache At least one additional disk (SSD or HHD) for persistent storage, with a maximum of seven additional disks total We can create up to five disk groups per host. The physical disks can be either internal storage or external disks directly connected to the host.
