Which three statements are true regarding vsanSparse snapshots? (Choose three.)

A. They require vSAN 6.0 or

higher.

B. They support up to 24 snapshots

C. They use a copy-on-write format

D. They use an always-sparse format.

E. They are supported if a virtual machine has machine has existing vmfsSparse snapshots

F. They are supported if the on-disk format is v1 or

higher

AD (not C): vSAN 6.0 introduces a new on-disk format that includes VirstoFS technology. This always-sparse filesystem provides the basis for a new snapshot format, also introduced with vSAN 6.0, called vsanSparse.

E: If the underlying

is storage is vSAN, if the on-disk format is v2, and if there are no older vmfsSparse/redo log format snapshots on the virtual machine, vsanSparse format snapshots will be automatically used.

If a virtual machine has existing vmfsSparse/redo log based sna

pshots, it will continue to get vmfsSparse/redo log based snapshots until the user consolidates and deletes all of the current snapshots.

Incorrect Answers:

B: A chain of up to 32 snapshots is supported.

F: The new vsanSparse format leverages the underlyi

ng sparseness of the new VirstoFS filesystem (v2) on-disk format
