Which two statements are true regarding Virtual SAN Fault Domains? (Choose two.)

The correct answer is A. They enable Virtual SAN to tolerate the failure of an entire physical rack. B. Virtual SAN ensures that no two replicas are provisioned on the same domain. vSAN Fault Domains protect against rack-level failures by ensuring that no two replicas of the same object are placed within the same fault domain.

Why each option

vSAN Fault Domains protect against rack-level failures by ensuring that no two replicas of the same object are placed within the same fault domain.

AThey enable Virtual SAN to tolerate the failure of an entire physical rack.Correct

Fault Domains allow an administrator to group hosts that share physical failure points (such as a rack, power circuit, or ToR switch) so vSAN treats the entire group as a single failure unit, enabling tolerance of a complete rack failure.

BVirtual SAN ensures that no two replicas are provisioned on the same domain.Correct

vSAN's placement engine enforces that replica copies and witness components of each object are distributed across distinct fault domains, guaranteeing data availability even if one entire domain fails.

CVirtual SAN ensures that all replicas are provisioned on the same domain.

Placing all replicas on the same domain would defeat the purpose of fault domains - vSAN actively prevents co-location of replicas within a single domain to ensure redundancy.

DThey require VMware High Availability (HA) to ensure component distribution across domains.

Fault Domain component distribution is handled natively by the vSAN storage policy engine and does not depend on VMware HA; HA addresses VM restart on host failure, not storage replica placement.
