A vSAN administrator is responsible for managing a customer's production vSAN cluster that is going to be used to provide SMB file shares to a number of host clients. The vSAN administrator must take action so the performance of all services in the production vSAN cluster can be monitored.
Which two services must be enabled for this monitoring to occur? (Choose two.)
To monitor the performance of all services in a production vSAN cluster, the necessary services to be enabled are the vSAN Health Service and the vSAN Performance Service. The vSAN Health Service provides health checks and ensures the overall status and functionality of the cluster components. It covers aspects like hardware compatibility and network configuration. The vSAN Performance Service specifically handles the collection and display of performance statistics for vSAN, allowing the administrator to assess and monitor the performance metrics of the cluster, virtual machines, and hosts. Both services are essential for comprehensive monitoring and maintaining the robustness of the vSAN cluster.
To monitor the performance of all services in a production vSAN cluster, the vSAN administrator must enable the following two services: vSAN Health Service: This service provides health checks to monitor the status of cluster components, diagnose issues, and troubleshoot problems. It covers hardware compatibility, network configuration and operation, advanced vSAN configuration options, storage device health, and virtual machine objects 1. vSAN Performance Service: This service provides performance statistics monitoring and display for vSAN. It collects data from vSAN clusters and displays it in vCenter Server. You can use vSAN performance service to monitor the performance of vSAN clusters, virtual machines, and hosts 2
D. vSAN Health Service: The vSAN Health Service provides health checks and alerts for vSAN, ensuring that the vSAN cluster is functioning correctly. E. vSAN Performance Service: The vSAN Performance Service provides performance monitoring and metrics for the vSAN cluster, allowing you to monitor the performance of the services and workloads running on vSAN. Options A and C are not typically related to performance monitoring: A. vSAN Performance Diagnostic Service: This is more about diagnosing performance issues and not for real-time performance monitoring. C. vSAN File Services: This is for enabling SMB file shares on vSAN and not for monitoring services or workloads running on vSAN.
To monitor the performance of vSAN File Services, the vSAN administrator must enable both the vSAN File Services and the vSAN Performance Service. The vSAN File Services provides SMB file shares to host clients, while the vSAN Performance Service collects and analyzes performance statistics and displays them in the vSphere Client. The other services are not related to vSAN File Services performance monitoring.
Answer C&E are correct. Reason in vSphere 8 onwards vSAN Health Service is changed to vSAN Skyline Health, purpose is same though. But without the vSAN file service he cannot create service for the clients. So from component perspective to create the service and then monitor the performance, C&E are the right option.
D and E. I've changed my mind since vSAN file service is one of the categories under vSAN health checks. https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vsan-monitoring.doc/GUID-B0A8BF17-E3FB-421A-AC1A-8C1EC27294D5.html#:~:text=You%20can%20use%20the%20vSAN,health%2C%20and%20virtual%20machine%20objects.
