While a vSAN administrator is deploying new VMs on a vSAN stretched cluster, the secondary site fails. The vSAN displays the following warning while trying to deploy those VMs:
'Datastore does not match current VM policy'.
Which step should be performed to provision the new VMs?
When a secondary site in a vSAN stretched cluster fails and the vSAN cannot meet the current VM policy requirements, provisioning VMs with the 'Force Provisioning' rule enabled allows the deployment to proceed. This option permits the datastore to provision VMs even if it cannot adhere to the usual policy constraints such as Failures to tolerate, Number of disk stripes per object, and Flash read cache reservation policies.
If the destination datastore is unable to match the required policy then the provisioning will fail. It can be forced resulting in a RAID 0 single component being created. The correct answer is A. Reference: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/8.0/vsan-administration/GUID-C8E919D0-9D80-4AE1-826B-D180632775F3.html Force Provisioning: If the option is set to Yes, the object is provisioned even if the Failures to tolerate, Number of disk stripes per object, and Flash read cache reservation policies specified in the storage policy cannot be satisfied by the datastore. Use this parameter in bootstrapping scenarios and during an outage when standard provisioning is no longer possible. The default No is acceptable for most production environments. vSAN fails to provision a virtual machine when the policy requirements are not met, but it successfully creates the user-defined storage policy.
My answer is D
