Question 2

What are two supported ESXi boot options? (Choose two.)

    Correct Answer: B, D

    ESXi supports booting from both iSCSI (Internet Small Computer System Interface) and SAN (Storage Area Network). These options provide the necessary storage protocols and infrastructure to allow an ESXi host to boot successfully, making them supported boot options. NFS, vSAN, and vSphere Virtual Volumes are not typically used for booting ESXi hosts; they serve different purposes in the VMware ecosystem.

For best performance of an ESXi 7.0 installation, use a persistent storage device that is a minimum of 32 GB for boot devices. Upgrading to ESXi 7.0 requires a boot device that is a minimum of 4 GB. When booting from a local disk, SAN or iSCSI LUN, at least a 32 GB disk is required to allow for the creation of system storage volumes, which include a boot partition, boot banks, and a VMFS-L based ESX-OSData volume. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.esxi.upgrade.doc/GUID-DEB8086A-306B-4239-BF76-E354679202FC.html
