A site administrator wishes to implement HCI mesh between two clusters on vSAN that are located in geographically separate sites and which are administered within a single datacenter.
Which two requirements should the vSAN administrator consider to accomplish this goal? (Choose two.)
To implement HCI mesh between two geographically separate clusters on vSAN within a single datacenter, it is necessary that either Layer 2 or Layer 3 communications can be used, allowing flexibility based on network infrastructure. Additionally, the configuration must meet the same latency and bandwidth requirements as local vSAN to ensure efficient data transfer and synchronization.
Option B (A leaf spine topology) and option C (NIC teaming for the vSAN network vmkernel port) are not specific requirements for implementing HCI mesh between geographically separate clusters. They are more related to the local network topology and configuration within individual clusters. Option E (Disabling encryption) is not a typical requirement for HCI mesh. vSAN encryption can be used in HCI mesh scenarios, but it's not a prerequisite, and encryption can be enabled or disabled based on your security and compliance policies. So, the correct choices to consider for HCI mesh between geographically separate vSAN clusters in a single datacenter are A and D.
A. Either Layer 2 or Layer 3 communications can be used: HCI mesh can work with either Layer 2 or Layer 3 networking, but the choice may depend on your network infrastructure and requirements. D. The configuration must meet the same latency and bandwidth requirement as local vSAN: HCI mesh requires low latency and sufficient bandwidth between the two clusters to ensure efficient data transfer and synchronization. Make sure the network meets the same latency and bandwidth requirements as if the clusters were local.
A, D correct
