Question
A vSAN administrator has been asked to increase the usable storage capacity of an existing vSAN OSA cluster to deploy some new virtual machines containing a large amount of data. The details are as follows:
- Each ESXi host in the vSAN OSA cluster is configured with two disk
groups.
- Each disk group contains three capacity devices and one cache device.
- Deduplication and compression are not enabled.
- Only the default VM storage policy is in use and had not been
changed.
- Add capacity without re-creating disk groups.
The company would like to minimize the number of devices used for cost optimization. Which action should the vSAN administrator carry out to provide additional storage to the vSAN OSA cluster?
Options
- AChanging object space reservation on the default storage policy to 100
- BCreating a third disk group on each host
- CAdding new capacity devices to the existing disk groups
- DDeleting and recreating the current disk groups with a larger disk configuration

Explanation
To increase usable storage while minimizing the number of additional devices and without recreating disk groups, the correct approach is to add more capacity devices to the existing disk groups. This expands the vSAN datastore capacity using only additional capacity disks, avoids the cost of extra cache devices, and respects the requirement not to re-create disk groups.
