Question 71

A VCF Deployment Specialist is tasked with automating the provisioning of a new VI Workload Domain using the SDDC Manager API.
The security mandate requires that all data be encrypted at rest, and the customer insists on reusing their existing traditional 3-tier Fibre Channel storage array.
```
# SDDC Manager Domain Creation API Payload (Snippet)
{
"clusterName": "Legacy-SAN-Cluster",
"vcenterName": "vcenter-02",
"hostSpecs": [ ... ],
"fcDatastoreSpec": {
"datastoreName": "Tier1-SAN-DS",
"encryption": true
}
}
```
The deployment fails immediately. SDDC Manager reports that automated encryption enablement is not supported for external traditional SAN arrays during domain creation.
Which TWO architectural limitations of 3-tier storage explain this automation and security failure within the VCF ecosystem? (Choose 2.)

A.SDDC Manager lacks out-of-band management adapters to automatically configure LUN masking and encryption algorithms on proprietary third-party SAN hardware.

B.VCF explicitly prohibits connecting external FC storage to Workload Domains, forcing customers to use NFS for legacy requirements.

C.Traditional storage arrays manage encryption internally via self-encrypting drives (SEDs) or controller- level logic, which sits outside the API control plane of SDDC Manager.

D.The JSON payload failed because FC datastores require the dedupAndCompression flag to be set before encryption can be enabled.

E.Fibre Channel protocol cannot transmit encrypted payloads because the frame header modification violates the IEEE 802.3 standard.

Question 72

A CTO is evaluating storage options for a VCF 9.0 Workload Domain that will host a massive 2 Petabyte medical imaging archive. The applications accessing this archive require minimal compute resources (e.g., just four standard 16-vCPU web servers).
```
[Customer Requirement]
Capacity: 2,000 TB (2 PB)
Compute: 64 vCPU total (Peak)
Cost Constraint: Minimize software licensing CapEx.
```
Which statement justifies the selection of an external SAN/NAS solution over a pure vSAN ESA HCI cluster for this specific use case?

A.VCF explicitly prohibits using vSAN for HIPAA-regulated medical workloads, forcing customers to use external arrays with physical tape backup integration.

B.An external NAS can host the 2 PB archive while connected to a small 3-node ESXi cluster, whereas vSAN HCI would force the purchase of 20+ fully licensed "compute-heavy" vSAN ReadyNodes just to acquire the physical drive bays.

C.Medical imaging requires object-based metadata, which traditional NFS NAS systems provide natively, whereas vSAN strictly provides block-only VMDK storage.

D.vSAN ESA has a hard cluster limit of 1 Petabyte of raw capacity, making it technically impossible to host this medical archive.

Question 73

An Infrastructure Manager imports a configuration from the vSAN Sizer tool to deploy a new 4-node vSAN cluster in SDDC Manager. The Sizer projected that the cluster would have 40 TB of usable capacity after FTT=1 (RAID-1) mirroring.
However, immediately after SDDC Manager provisions the cluster, the capacity view shows significantly less available space for actual virtual machines than projected.
```
[SDDC Manager - vSAN Capacity View (Post-Deployment)]
Total Raw Capacity: 80.0 TB
Total Usable (RAID-1): 40.0 TB
Operations Reserve (Slack): 4.0 TB
Host Rebuild Reserve: 10.0 TB
Free Space for VMs: 26.0 TB
```
Which TWO factors explain the discrepancy between the "Sizer Projected Usable Space" and the actual
"Free Space for VMs" available post-deployment? (Choose 2.)

A.The Host Rebuild Reserve (10.0 TB) is actively withheld by vSAN to ensure the cluster can auto- rebuild if one of the four hosts fails permanently.

B.The Sizer tool assumes thin provisioning, but SDDC Manager defaults to thick provisioning for the management virtual machines.

C.The Operations Reserve (Slack Space) is explicitly fenced off to accommodate transient capacity needs for VM snapshots, vMotion, and component merges.

D.The 40 TB projection assumed RAID-5, but SDDC Manager forcibly applied RAID-1, halving the capacity.
