Q

Explain the difference between vSphere both block and file I/O.

A

File level storage is seen and deployed in Network Attached Storage (NAS) systems.
- simple to use and implement.
- It stores files and folders and the visibility is the same to the clients accessing and to the system which stores it.
Block level storage is seen and deployed in Storage Area Network (SAN) storage.
- raw volumes of storage are created and each block can be controlled as an individual hard drive.
- controlled by server based operating systems and each block can be individually formatted with the required file system.
- This level of storage offers boot-up of systems which are connected to them.
- used to store files and can work as storage for special applications like databases, Virtual machine file systems and so on.
- Block level storage data transportation is much efficient and reliable.

19
Q

Q

You have a vSphere HA cluster with three hosts. You have configured host group consisting of one of your hosts. You have configured an affinity rule that your database VM must run on the host group. The host in the host group fails. What happens to the database VM?

a) The VM will be booted on one of the running hosts that is not in the host group.
b) vSphere will automatically add another host to the host group so that the VM can be rebooted.
c) The VM will stay powered down until the host in the host group is back on line.
d) vSphere will automatically change the affinity rule to allow the VM to boot on another host.

A

The VM will stay powered down until the host in the host group is back on line.
