Question 36

An administrator has an absent capacity disk.

Which action, if any, should the administrator take to resolve the problem?

    Correct Answer: B

    When a capacity disk is marked as absent, it means that vSAN is not able to communicate with the disk. This is typically due to the disk being completely malfunctioned or removed, and the correct action to resolve the problem is to replace the faulty disk. Waiting for vSAN to rebuild would not be effective because the disk itself is unavailable and needs to be physically replaced.

Discussion
LazylinuxOption: A

For sure A, no way B as absent means vSAN not sure if offline permanently or NOT and hence delay timer of 60 minutes before rebuild - ONLY when degraded rebuild happens immediately as vSAN assumes dead disk and such case then you need replace disk and hence answer is B

GodMan114Option: B

In case anyone's head spun when LazyLinux gave his answer... What he was trying to say is that the answer is B. No idea what he was saying in his first several words. If it says absent, then the disk is not communicating with the host to say that it has errors. It's either completely malfunctioned (or dead) or removed. The disk needs to be replaced. https://blogs.vmware.com/virtualblocks/2017/11/09/understanding-vsan-rebuilds/
