Question
A vSAN storage policy with the 'Failures lo Tolerate" rule set to "2 failures -RA1D-1 (Mirroring)" is assigned to multiple virtual machines. The vSAN administrator is considering assigning a new vSAN storage policy with the "Failures to Tolerate' rule set lo '2 failures -RAID-6* (Erasure Coding)" to the virtual machines. How will the capacity of the vSAN datastore be affected if this action is taken?
Options
- AFree capacity is permanently reduced after the Object Repair Timer expires.
- BAdditional capacity is permanently consumed by the erasure coded components.
- CUsed capacity will increase temporarily while the erasure coded components are built.
- DAdditional free capacity will be available for immediate use.

Explanation
Used capacity will increase temporarily while the erasure coded components are built. When a vSAN storage policy with 'Failures to Tolerate' set to '2 failures -RAID-6 (Erasure Coding)' is assigned to multiple virtual machines, the components of the objects stored on the vSAN datastore will be rebuilt in an erasure coding format, which requires additional capacity. This additional capacity will be used temporarily while the erasure coded components are built, and will be reclaimed once the process is complete.
