2V0-621 · Question #209
Refer to the Exhibit. A Storage Policy for a Virtual SAN is set to the default policy, as shown in the Exhibit. Which change would reduce the storage consumption by one third?
The correct answer is A. Number of failures to tolerate = 1. vSAN storage policies define fault tolerance levels that directly determine storage overhead per object. Reducing FTT from 2 to 1 drops required data copies from 3 to 2, cutting storage use by exactly one third.

Why each option
vSAN storage policies define fault tolerance levels that directly determine storage overhead per object. Reducing FTT from 2 to 1 drops required data copies from 3 to 2, cutting storage use by exactly one third.
With FTT set to 2 (the default shown in the exhibit), vSAN maintains 3 full copies of each object, consuming 3x the raw capacity. Reducing FTT to 1 requires only 2 copies, lowering consumption to 2x - a reduction of exactly one third of the total storage used by that policy.
Number of disk stripes per object controls how data is distributed across capacity devices for performance purposes and has no effect on the total number of copies stored or overall storage consumption.
Setting FTT to 3 requires 4 full data copies, which would increase storage consumption significantly rather than reduce it.
Setting disk stripes per object to 1 changes I/O stripe width behavior but does not alter the number of object copies maintained by vSAN and therefore does not reduce storage consumption.
