Pass the EMC Storage Administrator D-VXR-OE-23 Questions and answers with CertsForce

The maximum number of remote vSAN data stores a client cluster can mount using vSAN HCI Mesh is 6. VMware vSAN HCI Mesh allows for the mounting of remote vSAN datastores to provide flexible storage solutions and scalability. This feature enables multiple clusters to share storage resources efficiently.

The vSphere integrated component that must be installed on the VxRail cluster to run containers is VMware Tanzu. VMware Tanzu enables Kubernetes container orchestration within a VMware environment, integrating with vSphere to provide a platform for managing containers alongside virtual machines. This allows administrators to deploy and manage containerized applications using the same tools and processes they use for VMs.

The service on the ESXi host that allows automatic discovery when adding a node into an existing VxRail Cluster is "loudmouth." Loudmouth is a lightweight messaging daemon that enables the nodes in a VxRail cluster to discover each other automatically. This service facilitates the seamless addition of new nodes into an existing VxRail cluster by enabling them to communicate and integrate without manual configuration.

When deploying a VxRail Cluster with an existing customer-supplied vCenter Server, two key considerations are:

Supports Enhanced Link Mode with other VxRail-managed vCenter Servers: This allows the existing vCenter Server to link with other VxRail-managed vCenter Servers, providing a unified management interface across multiple vCenter instances, enabling seamless operations and better scalability.

Uses customer-defined procedures for vCenter LCM (Lifecycle Management): Since the vCenter Server is customer-supplied, the procedures for upgrading and maintaining it are defined and managed by the customer, rather than being automatically handled by VxRail's built-in lifecycle management tools.
