When using vSAN in a two-node direct connect configuration, how do data nodes communicate with

the vSAN witness appliance?

A. The vCenter Server acts as a proxy between data nodes and the vSAN witness.

B. An alternate VMkernel interface that has connectivity to the vSAN witness must be tagged with a vSAN traffic type of -witness- VM

C. Two-node dir

ect connect does NOT require connectivity to the vSAN witness appliance.

D. If the data node management VMkernel interfaces that are tagged for management traffic only have connectivity with the vSAN witness, they will provide communication with the vSAN w

itness.

Explanation:

Traditional vSAN 2 Node configurations require connectivity between the vSAN tagged VMkernel ports, and the vSAN Witness Appliance-s VSAN tagged VMkernel port.

2 Node Direct Connect Witness Traffic Separation provides the ab

ility to directly connect vSAN data nodes in a 2 Node configuration. Traffic destined for the Witness host can be tagged on an alternative interface from the directly connected vSAN tagged interface.
