Which two tasks should a vSphere administrator perform if the vmkernel log reports VMFS metadata errors? (Choose two.)

VMware technical support should be engaged when VMFS metadata errors are detected because these errors can indicate underlying storage hardware issues or file system corruption that may require engineering-level analysis and coordinated remediation steps.

Reformatting the datastore destroys all stored virtual machine data and is a destructive last resort, not an appropriate first response to metadata errors.

VOMA (vSphere On-disk Metadata Analyzer) is VMware's dedicated utility for detecting and repairing inconsistencies in VMFS and Virtual Flash metadata, making it the correct diagnostic tool to run first when metadata errors appear in the vmkernel log.

VMFS metadata errors must never be ignored because they signal potential file system corruption that can escalate to virtual machine data loss or inaccessibility.
