An administrator is creating a new VMFS volume and needs to make it available to all hosts within a datacenter using the Web Client.
What should the administrator scan for in order to meet this requirement?
A. New Storage Devices and LUNs
B. New Storage Devices and VMFS Volumes
C. New VMFS Volumes and Datastores
D. New VMFS Volumes and LUNs
Correct Answer: B
Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:
In this question, we have added a new VMFS volume. To make the new volume available to all hosts within a datacenter, we need to perform a scan.
Perform Storage Rescan in the vSphere Web Client
When you make changes in your SAN configuration, you might need to rescan your storage. You can rescan all storage available to your host, cluster, or datacenter. If the changes you make are isolated to storage accessed through a specific host, perform rescan for only this host.
Procedure
In the vSphere Web Client object navigator, select a host, a cluster, a datacenter, or a folder that contains hosts.
Select Actions > All vCenter Actions > Rescan Storage.
Specify extent of rescan.
Scan for New Storage DevicesRescan all adapters to discover new storage devices. If new devices are discovered, they appear in the device list.
Scan for New VMFS VolumesRescan all storage devices to discover new datastores that have been added since the last scan. Any new datastores appear in the datastore list.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Scanning for LUNs is not an option in the vSphere Web Client. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
C: Scanning for VMFS Volumes is not an option in the vSphere Web Client. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
D: Scanning for either VMFS Volumes or LUNs is not an option in the vSphere Web Client. Therefore, this answer is incorrect.
