2V0-16.25 Question #50: Real Exam Question with Answer & Explanation

Question

Options

• ANo configuration required, Run New Diagnostics is enabled automatically.
• BEnable and start the vSAN Performance service in the target vCenter.
• CConfigure a vSAN account for the vCenter Integration Instance.
• DAssign the VCF Operations Service Account administrative rights to vSAN Objects.
• EAssign the credentials configured in the vCenter Integration instance have access to vSAN
• FOpen port 5989 on each VCF Operations node on which the vSAN adapter exists.

Explanation

Enabling advanced Storage Operations features in VCF Operations requires three foundational integrations to be in place: the vSAN Performance Service must be running (B) because diagnostic and benchmarking data flows through it; a dedicated vSAN account must be configured for the vCenter Integration Instance (C) so VCF Operations has an authenticated identity to communicate with vSAN; and the credentials in that integration instance must have vSAN access (E) to actually read and act on vSAN objects - authorization without the right scope is insufficient.

Why the distractors are wrong:

• A is wrong because advanced diagnostics are not automatic - they require explicit configuration steps.
• D is a distractor because the requirement is scoped to the vCenter Integration Instance credentials, not a generically named "VCF Operations Service Account" with broad admin rights to vSAN objects.
• F is wrong because port 5989 (SMI-S) is a legacy vSAN adapter communication port from older versions, not a prerequisite for vSAN 9.0's enhanced Storage Operations in VCF.

Memory tip: Think "PCA" - Performance service, Credentials Account, Access rights - three pillars that mirror a standard integration setup: the service must be on, an account must exist, and that account must have permission.
