D-VXR-OE-23 Exam Dumps : Dell VxRail Operate 2023

The default rekey interval for vSAN data-in-transit encryption on the VxRail Cluster is 6 hours. This interval specifies how frequently the encryption keys are rotated to ensure secure communication within the cluster. Regular rekeying helps maintain data security by reducing the risk of encryption key compromise.

To temporarily remove a node with a specific serial number from the VxRail cluster, follow these steps:

Log in to vSphere Client:

Open the vSphere Client.

Enter the username: administrator@vsphere.local.

Enter the password: VMw@r3!123.

Click Login.

Identify the Node with Serial Number "V0730040000000":

In the vSphere Client interface, navigate to the Hosts and Clusters view.

Expand the VxRail-DC and then the VxRail-Cluster.

Locate the Node:

Click on each host (e.g., vcluster730-esx01, vcluster730-esx02, vcluster730-esx03, vcluster730-esx04) and check the Summary tab to identify the node with the serial number V0730040000000.

The Summary tab provides details about the hardware, including the serial number.

Put the Node in Maintenance Mode:

Right-click on the identified node.

Select Maintenance Mode > Enter Maintenance Mode.

Select Ensure Accessibility and click OK.

Remove the Node from the Cluster:

Once the node is in maintenance mode, right-click the node again.

Select Remove from Inventory.

Confirm the action by clicking Yes or OK when prompted.

Verify the Node Removal:

Ensure that the node is no longer listed under the VxRail-Cluster.

Check the overall health and status of the cluster to confirm that it is functioning properly without the removed node.

To create the required vSAN storage policy in the vSphere Client for a VxRail stretched cluster, follow these steps:

Log in to vSphere Client:

Open the vSphere Client.

Enter the username: administrator@vsphere.local.

Enter the password: VMw@r3!123.

Click Login.

Navigate to Storage Policies:

From the home screen, go to Policies and Profiles in the left-hand navigation pane.

Click on VM Storage Policies.

Create a New Storage Policy:

Click Create VM Storage Policy.

Enter the name as vSAN Stretched Cluster.

Click Next.

Configure Policy Rules:

In the Policy Structure section, choose Enable tag-based placement rules if needed.

Click Next.

Add vSAN Rules:

In the Storage Compatibility section, click Add rule and select vSAN.

Configure the following:

Primary level of failures to tolerate (PFTT): 1 failure - RAID 1 (Mirroring)

Secondary level of failures to tolerate (SFTT): 1 failure - RAID 1 (Mirroring)

Failures to Tolerate: 1

Provisioning type: Thick Provisioning

Ensure "Force Provisioning" is enabled. This allows the VM to be provisioned even if the current resources do not satisfy the policy.

Set Data Services:

Skip the Data Services section if not applicable.

Click Next.

Review and Finish:

Review the policy settings.

Click Finish to create the storage policy.

Apply the Storage Policy to VMs:

Navigate to the VMs section.

Select the VMs that need the new storage policy.

Right-click and select VM Policies > Edit VM Storage Policies.

Choose the vSAN Stretched Cluster policy for the applicable disks.
