VCP-VVF Troubleshoot And Optimize Practice Question
An administrator is troubleshooting a storage performance issue on a vSAN 9.0 cluster. The vSAN performance service indicates high object read latency on a specific VMDK. Which command line utility executed on an ESXi host can be used to inspect individual vSAN disk group health and component status directly?
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
✓
esxcli vsan storage list
'esxcli vsan storage list' displays detailed storage pool and disk information, while 'esxcli vsan debug' or 'cmmds-tool' can inspect component status. Among standard esxcli namespaces, 'esxcli vsan storage' is standard for examining vSAN disk health.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✗
esxcli storage vmfs extent list
Why it's wrong here
This lists VMFS extents, which applies to traditional block storage datastores, not vSAN objects.
- ✗
esxcli vsan cluster get
Why it's wrong here
This checks general cluster membership and sub-cluster status, not individual disk component performance or health.
- ✗
esxcli network ip route list
Why it's wrong here
This displays the host routing table, which is irrelevant to vSAN storage component inspection.
- ✓
esxcli vsan storage list
Why this is correct
This command outputs the health state, operational status, and disk UUIDs for all disks participating in the vSAN disk groups.
