Question #: 3
Topic #: 1
A customer has development virtual machines that do not require storage HA. How can the customer save storage capacity within an HPE SimpliVity cluster?
A.
By disabling HA cluster functionality for HPE SimpliVity Federation
B.
By placing them on HPE Storence instead of HPE SimpliVity
C.
By disabling the HA feature for only these virtual machines at vCenter Server
D.
By creating a single-replica datastore for these virtual machines
HPE SimpliVity provides storage HA by creating two copies of each virtual machine data across different nodes in a cluster. This ensures that the virtual machines can continue to run even if one node fails. However, this also consumes twice the storage capacity for each virtual machine. For development virtual machines that do not require storage HA, the customer can save storage capacity by creating a single-replica datastore for these virtual machines. A single-replica datastore is a datastore that has only one copy of the virtual machine data on one node. This reduces the storage consumption by 50%, but also increases the risk of data loss and unavailability in case of node failure. Therefore, the customer should carefully weigh the trade-offs between storage efficiency and data protection when using a single-replica datastore.
