In a vSAN stretched cluster configuration, both data sites are active sites, but one site must be designated as the preferred site and the other site as the secondary or nonpreferred site. This configuration helps to ensure that data remains on a given site in case of a network partition between the sites. If the network connection between the two active sites is lost, vSAN continues operation with the preferred site, unless it is resyncing or has another issue. The site that leads to maximum data availability is the one that remains in operation. The other options are not relevant to this scenario.

To implement HCI mesh between two clusters on vSAN that are located in geographically separate sites, the vSAN administrator should consider the following requirements:

• Either Layer 2 or Layer 3 communications can be used. HCI mesh supports both Layer 2 and Layer 3 network configurations, as long as the network latency and bandwidth requirements are met3
• The configuration must meet the same latency and bandwidth requirement as local vSAN. HCI mesh requires a network latency of less than or equal to 5 ms RTT between any two hosts in the participating clusters, and a network bandwidth of at least 10 Gbps for the vSAN network vmkernel port3 References: 3: VMware vSAN Specialist v2 Exam Preparation Guide, page 15

To deploy a new two-node vSAN cluster with a shared witness, the administrator must meet several requirements, one of which is that the ESXi hosts must have a minimum of 64 GBs of memory. This is because each host must have enough memory to run the VMs and also to support the vSAN metadata overhead. The other options are not requirements for a two-node vSAN cluster with a shared witness. The ESXi hosts do not need SSDs or NVMe for Virtual Flash File System, as they can use any supported storage devices for vSAN. The ESXi host’s controller cache and advanced features do not need to be disabled, as they can be used to improve performance and reliability. The ESXi host’s drives do not need to be configured in RAID 1, as vSAN uses its own software-defined RAID mechanism to provide Failures to Tolerate.
