Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Deduplication and Compression
Why this is correct
Correct. Deduplication and compression reduce storage capacity consumption on supported vSAN tiers.
- ✗
Automated replacement of failed physical server chassis motherboards
Why it's wrong here
Hardware replacement requires human technicians or robotics, not vSAN storage policies.
- ✓
Encryption (Data-at-Rest Encryption)
Why this is correct
Correct. vSAN supports native encryption of all datastore objects at rest using KMIP keys.
- ✗
Automatic physical fibre channel cable weaving
Why it's wrong here
Physical cabling is a manual hardware task, not a vSAN software service.
- ✓
Checksum (automatic integrity checking and self-healing)
Why this is correct
Correct. vSAN computes checksums for data blocks and automatically repairs corrupted blocks.
