2V0-21.23 · Question #66
Which two datastore types store the components of a virtual machine as a set of objects? (Choose two.)
The correct answer is B. VMware vSAN D. vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols). VMware vSAN and vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) are datastore types that store virtual machine components as a set of policy-managed objects. This object-based approach allows for more granular control and array-level integration for virtual machine storage.

Why each option
VMware vSAN and vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) are datastore types that store virtual machine components as a set of policy-managed objects. This object-based approach allows for more granular control and array-level integration for virtual machine storage.
VMware Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) is a clustered file system that stores virtual machine files in a hierarchical file structure, not as a set of objects.
VMware vSAN is a software-defined storage solution that stores virtual machine components, such as VMDKs and configuration files, as policy-managed objects across a distributed cluster, enabling granular control and flexibility in managing virtual machine storage.
Network File System (NFS) 3 is a file-sharing protocol that presents a traditional file system structure to ESXi hosts, where VM components are stored as files, not objects.
vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols) externalize virtual machine components as objects, allowing underlying storage arrays to provide native, array-based management and data services at the individual virtual machine or VMDK level rather than at the LUN or volume level.
Network File System (NFS) 4.1, like NFS 3, is a file-sharing protocol that presents a traditional file system structure, storing VM components as files, not objects.
