VCP-DCV vSphere Performance and Scaling Practice Question

Exhibit

root@esxi-host1 [~] esxcli vsan health cluster list
Cluster Health: Degraded
    vSAN Cluster: Datacenter-Cluster
    Overall Health: Degraded
    - vSAN Capacity Health: Warning - Host 'esxi-host2' crossed disk utilization threshold (80%)
    - vSAN Object Health: Healthy
    - vSAN Network Health: Healthy
    - vSAN Performance Service: Healthy

Refer to the exhibit. What is the most likely cause of the vSAN cluster health degradation?

Answer choices

Why each option matters

Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.

Correct answer & explanation

✓

Disk capacity on a host is nearly full

The exhibit shows a vSAN cluster health degradation due to a capacity warning on a host, specifically that disk utilization has exceeded 80% threshold. This indicates that the disk capacity on a host is nearly full, which is option D. Option B (network misconfiguration) is not indicated as other health checks are healthy. Options A (vSAN performance service not running) and C (object health failing) are also not supported by the output, which shows only a capacity issue.

Answer analysis
