VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage: Your Questions, Answered
The 3V0-23.25 exam (Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage) is the official VMware exam that leads to the VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Storage certification, a credential at the Advanced Professional level. Related certifications include VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Operations, VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Networking, VMware Certified Advanced Professional - VMware Cloud Foundation Automation. PracticeVCE provides 79 practice questions to help you prepare for it with confidence.
The 3V0-23.25 exam contains 60 questions and gives you 135 minutes to finish them. Before exam day, divide the total time by the question count so you know the pace you need to keep, and flag difficult items instead of getting stuck on them. Running at least one full timed session in the PracticeVCE test engine is the best way to make that time pressure feel familiar.
You need 300 (scaled score) to pass, and the official registration fee is $250 USD. Keep in mind that a failed attempt means paying that fee in full again, so it pays to test yourself first. When your scores on the PracticeVCE timed practice tests stay consistently above the passing line, you are ready to book the exam.
Recommended: VMware Certified Professional - Cloud Foundation or equivalent experience; 2+ years of experience designing, deploying, and managing VMware Cloud Foundation storage environments Requirements can change over time, so always double-check the latest eligibility rules before you register on the official VMware exam page.

VMware Advanced VMware Cloud Foundation 9.0 Storage Sample Questions:
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 working on a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain that was configured to use vSAN for principal storage. The administrator wishes to create and configure a datastore cluster to host tenant VMs using that vSAN backed storage across multiple clusters, mixed OSA and ESA, in the domain.
What should the administrator consider?
- A. A datastore cluster can combine different storage types, such as vSAN, FC, and NFS datastores, as long as they are in the same vCenter; Storage DRS will treat them uniformly.
- B. When using vSAN as the underlying datastore, an administrator must create the datastore cluster via vCenter APIs, include the vSAN datastore(s) in it, enable Storage DRS, and ensure the VM Storage Policies reference the appropriate vSAN-capable datastore.
- C. vSAN OSA and ESA based datastores must be added to a datastore cluster tag and then selected as part of a single storage policy.
- D. When using vSAN datastores, Datastore Clusters are not supported. Each VM must be placed manually on the vSAN datastore.
Correct Answer: D 🗳️
An enterprise is planning to deploy a new vSAN ESA enabled cluster to their existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud Workload Domain. The following requirements have been given:
* 2 x 4 TB NVMe disks per host
* FTT=1/RAID-5 for all deployed Virtual Machines
* Expected dedupe/compression ratio = 1.5 (50%)
* Reserve enough capacity to rebuild a host completely in case of a failure (Host Rebuild Reservation)
* Operational Reserve of 10%
* Expected overhead for filesystem, object, etc. of 25%
How many hosts are required to meet a minimum usable capacity of 12 TB?
- A. 5 hosts
- B. 6 hosts
- C. 3 hosts
- D. 4 hosts

A cache drive failed on one of the vSAN OSA nodes in the cluster.
When the drive failed, vSAN started a resync to ensure the health of the data, and all objects are showing a healthy and compliant state.
The vSAN administrator needs to replace the failed cache drive.
Which set of steps should the vSAN administrator take?
- A. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically allocate the storage.
- B. Place the disk group into maintenance mode, and select Full Data Migration. Then, physically replace the failed cache device. Afterwards, vSAN will rebuild the disk group automatically.
- C. Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically create a new disk group. Then, remove the disk group with the failed device.
- D. Remove the existing vSAN disk group, and physically replace the device. Then, check to verify that the ESX host automatically detects the new device. Afterwards, manually recreate the Disk Group.

An administrator has been tasked with suggesting storage models for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud. The following information has been provided:
* All existing implementations of VMware vSphere use the existing third-party block-based storage solution.
* The block-based storage solution only has sufficient scale, capacity and IOPS to cater for the new workload storage requirements.
* There is a dedicated and highly resilient storage area network connecting hosts to the provided block-based storage.
* There are 5 existing hosts with enough CPU and RAM resources and resilient Host Bus Adapters (HBAs) to cater for the new workload resource requirements only.
* There is sufficient budget to purchase some hardware, however the solution must re-use the existing hardware where possible.
The administrator suggests the following high-level solution:
* Single VCF Instance with a single Workload Domain.
* Deploy 4 new servers to create a Management Domain.
* Repurpose the 5 existing servers to create a single cluster in the Workload Domain.
Which two storage models should the administrator recommend? (Choose two.)
- A. VMware vSAN should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.
- B. iSCSI should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Management Domain.
- C. Fibre Channel should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.
- D. iSCSI should be the supplemental storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.
- E. VMware vSAN should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Management Domain.
