It also supports progress toward VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Operations, VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Networking, VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Automation. Demand for this credential has stayed strong because it validates skills employers can use from day one.
The VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage exam packs 60 questions into 135 minutes. Candidates rarely fail because of one impossible topic; they fail because ten minutes vanished on three stubborn questions. Build a triage habit now: answer, flag, move on, return later. Timed full-length sessions in the Lead2Passed test engine are the most honest way to practice that discipline before it counts.
You pass VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage at 300 (scaled score), and the official registration fee stands at $250 USD. One detail worth internalizing: there is no retake discount, so a second sitting costs another full $250 USD. Use the Lead2Passed practice tests as your gauge and book only when your results clear the requirement with a repeatable margin, not a one-off peak.
Recommended: VMware Certified Professional - Cloud Foundation or equivalent experience; 2+ years of experience designing, deploying, and managing VMware Cloud Foundation storage environments

VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage Sample Questions:
An administrator has deployed a three-host vSphere cluster with a small amount of VMFS storage and wants to add additional capacity from a vSAN ESA cluster located in the same vCenter Server.
When the administrator selects the vSphere cluster and navigates to the Configure tab, the Datastore Management option is missing under the vSAN section.
What prerequisite must be met before the administrator can mount the remote datastore?
- A. vSAN must be enabled on the non-vSAN cluster to act as a compute cluster.
- B. The vSphere cluster must be deployed to a different VCF Workload Domain.
- C. The vSAN Storage cluster must have a minimum of 80% free space.
- D. A fourth host must be commissioned for the vSphere cluster.
Correct Answer: A 🗳️

A storage architect has been called into a meeting with the accounting team who is trying to determine why
20% of their raw capacity is not available for consumption. Their vSAN cluster was created with the following characteristics:
* 2 x 2 TB NVMe disks in 6 hosts in their vSAN cluster.
* FTT=1, RAID-1 for the default policy.
* Host Rebuild Reserve not activated for this cluster.
Which two items should the Architect say accounts for most of the unusable capacity? (Choose two.)
- A. Host upgrade overhead
- B. Operational Reserve (policy changes, rebalancing, data movement)
- C. Encryption overhead
- D. VM swap overhead
- E. RAID Overhead
Correct Answer: B,E 🗳️
An administrator is managing a stretched vSAN ESA cluster where each site has three hosts.
The following parameters apply to the storage policy being configured at the datastore level:
* The policy is configured at the datastore level
* Site disaster tolerance = Site mirroring - stretched cluster
* Failures to tolerate = 1 failure - RAID-1 (mirroring)
* Number of disk stripes = 1
When inspecting some of the Virtual Machines (VMs), why do objects have 3 disk stripes?
- A. There is a policy configured at the Virtual Machine level.
- B. Each Virtual Machine has 3 objects.
- C. ESA in RAID-1 always uses 3 stripes.
- D. Site mirroring has been configured.
Correct Answer: C 🗳️

Match each vSAN storage attribute with its correct description.
Correct Answer:

Explanation:
vSAN HCI Cluster = A cluster that provides both compute and storage to Virtual Machines; vSAN Storage Cluster = A vSAN cluster that provides disaggregated storage for vSAN and vSphere clusters; vSAN Compute Cluster = A vSphere cluster that does not have local vSAN storage, but instead, it mounts a remote vSAN datastore; vSAN Stretched Cluster = A vSAN Cluster topology that extends a single logical vSAN cluster across two availability zones. A vSAN stretched cluster can tolerate a site failure.
These mappings describe the primary vSAN storage models used in VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0. A vSAN HCI Cluster is the traditional hyperconverged model where the same cluster provides compute resources and contributes local storage devices to the vSAN datastore for running virtual machines. A vSAN Storage Cluster is a disaggregated storage model based on vSAN ESA; it provides storage capacity and performance to other vSAN or vSphere clusters instead of primarily running workloads itself. A vSAN Compute Cluster is a vSphere cluster that does not contribute local vSAN capacity.
Instead, it consumes a remote datastore exported by a vSAN Storage Cluster, enabling compute and storage to scale separately. A vSAN Stretched Cluster extends a single logical vSAN cluster across two availability zones or sites and uses a witness to maintain quorum, allowing workloads to tolerate a full site failure. These distinctions are essential for choosing between HCI, disaggregated storage, remote storage consumption, and availability-zone resilience. Reference topics: vSAN HCI Cluster, vSAN Storage Cluster, vSAN Compute Cluster, vSAN Stretched Cluster, VCF Storage Models.
An administrator is tasked with setting up immutable snapshots for recovery in case of a cyber-attack.
Which two limitations apply when configuring immutable snapshots? (Choose two.)
- A. The protection group cannot be both replicated and immutable.
- B. Virtual Machine hardware must be at least version 10.
- C. Virtual machine hardware cannot be changed on VM having immutable snapshots.
- D. The protection group cannot have more than 7 snapshot schedules.
- E. The Virtual Machine cannot be part of multiple protection groups.
