An administrator is asked to create NVMe-vVol host in PowerStore. Which requirement must be met to complete the task?

Question

Options

• AThe host must be using the ESXi operating system
• BNVMe-vVol must be created on internal hosts
• CTwo appliances must be available to allow NVMe-vVol migration
• DSwitches must support NVMe/TCP protocol

• A
  96% (26)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

NVMe-vVol (Virtual Volumes) is a VMware-specific storage framework, so the host must be running ESXi because vVols depend on VMware's VASA (vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness) protocol - without ESXi, the vVol construct simply doesn't exist. Option B is wrong because NVMe-vVol hosts in PowerStore can be external, not just internal; there is no internal-only restriction. Option C is wrong because a single PowerStore appliance is sufficient to create an NVMe-vVol host - dual appliances may relate to redundancy or migration scenarios, but are not a prerequisite for host creation. Option D is wrong because NVMe-vVol can operate over multiple NVMe transports (e.g., NVMe/FC), so NVMe/TCP switch support is not a blanket requirement.

Memory tip: Think "vVol = VMware Vol" - since vVols are a 100% VMware invention, any host using them must be running VMware's ESXi. If you see "vVol" in a question, immediately think ESXi.
