Which two considerations should an architect assess when designing a HCI Mesh solution with VMware vSAN and VMware vSphere High Availability (HA)? (Choose two.)
When designing a HCI Mesh solution with VMware vSAN and VMware vSphere High Availability (HA), it is crucial to ensure that the client cluster has at least three nodes because two-node clusters are not supported for vSphere HA. Additionally, for vSphere HA to function correctly with HCI Mesh, the All Paths Down (APD) condition must be configured to power off and restart VMs, ensuring proper management of VMs when the remote datastore is lost.
a - true b - True https://core.vmware.com/resource/vmware-vsan-hci-mesh#sec10706-sub3
C - true E- True
I would say, A&B are correct, the question is around design considerations only, not on the functionality see below HCI Mesh Design Considerations A number of other design criteria should be considered when configuring vSAN HCI Mesh. HCI Mesh Limits Client cluster: Can mount up to a maximum of 5 remote vSAN datastores Server cluster: Can only serve its datastore to a maximum of 10 client clusters - as of vSAN 8. Previous versions supported the mounting of up to 5 client clusters.
any one have question 68
The correct answer is C & E : C : HCI Mesh is not supported on 2-Node clusters. That means you must have at least a 3 nodes cluster. This is more globally a minimum required for vSAN Clusters with HA enabled. --> https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsan-planning/GUID-D68890D8-841A-4BD1-ACA1-DA3D25B6A37A.html and https://core.vmware.com/resource/vmware-vsan-hci-mesh#sec10709-sub2 E : when using HCI Mesh, the client cluster must have the APD configured on vSphere HA to be able to manage the VMs when the remote datastore is lost. --> https://core.vmware.com/resource/vmware-vsan-hci-mesh#sec10706-sub1 A & B are wrong. This is the contrary : A server cluster can serve up to 10 client clusters in vSAN 8 (was limited to 5 in vSAN 7), and a client cluster can connect to up to 5 server clusters --> https://core.vmware.com/resource/vmware-vsan-hci-mesh#sec10706-sub3 D: wrong. It is not necessary and even useless. The loss of a device is managed by the server cluster
