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.

The Capacity Reserve feature in vSAN 8.0 OSA reduces the amount of capacity reserved for transient and rebuild operations by using a slack space threshold. This threshold is calculated based on the size of the largest component in the cluster and the number of failures to tolerate. If the used space on vSAN datastore exceeds the suggested slack space threshold, the feature will not operate properly and vSAN will revert to using the host rebuild reserve threshold. The other scenarios will not affect the Capacity Reserve feature. References: [VMware vSAN Specialist v2 EXAM 5V0-22.23], page 28

To ensure that a single rack failure is not going to affect the data availability, while minimizing the number of racks used, the administrator has to do the following:

• Distribute servers across at least three different racks. This is because vSAN supports up to three fault domains per cluster, which can be used to tolerate one or two failures. If only two racks are used, then only one failure can be tolerated4
• Configure three fault domains. A fault domain is a logical grouping of hosts that share a common failure point, such as a rack or a power supply. By configuring fault domains, vSAN can place replicas of an object across different fault domains, so that a failure within one fault domain does not result in data loss orunavailability4 References: 4: VMware vSAN Specialist v2 Exam Preparation Guide, page 13
