A capacity upgrade to a production vSAN 7.0 U1 cluster will provide an administrator with a number of SSD storage devices that can be reused in the development vSAN Cluster.
The company security policy mandates the following:
• All data must be encrypted-at-rest.
• All data on all drives must be securely erased before being removed and reused.
Which two steps should the administrator take to ensure that all data on the storage devices is securely erased? (Choose two.)
To ensure that all data on the storage devices is securely erased before they are reused, the administrator should take the following steps: First, when putting the nodes in maintenance mode, choose the 'Evacuate all data' option to ensure that all data is moved to other disks in the cluster. This takes care of the requirement to ensure no data remains on the drives. After this, running the 'Start-VsanWipeDisk' PowerCLI command will securely erase all the data from the disks, meeting the company's security policy requirement for securely erasing data before the drives are reused.
My answer is B, D
