Exam CV0-003 topic 1 question 47 discussion

Actual exam question from CompTIA's CV0-003

Question #: 47
Topic #: 1

A systems administrator is building a new visualization cluster. The cluster consists of five virtual hosts, which each have flash and spinning disks. This storage is shared among all the virtual hosts, where a virtual machine running on one host may store data on another host. This is an example of:

A. a storage area network.
B. a network file system.
C. hyperconverged storage.
D. thick-provisioned disks.

C. Hyperconverged Storage: Hyperconverged storage is an approach where storage resources are integrated directly into the virtual hosts (compute nodes) and managed together with compute and networking in a single system. In hyperconverged infrastructure, storage is typically pooled and shared across the cluster, allowing virtual machines to use storage resources from any node in the cluster. This matches the scenario described, where the storage is shared among all virtual hosts, and a virtual machine on one host may store data on another host.

A SAN would mean separate storage from the hosts. This question indicates that each host has its own storage yet shares it with the other hosts.

Selected Answer: C

Question specifically stated that each host in the cluster has its own storage, which is then shared with one another. SAN requires dedicated storage infrastructure.

See this VMWare definition of hyperconverged storage if you're unsure: Hyperconverged storage is one facet of hyperconverged infrastructure (HCI), in which storage is bundled with compute and networking in a single virtualized system. With this software-defined approach, flexible pools of storage replace dedicated hardware. Each node includes a software layer that virtualizes the resources in the node and shares them across all the nodes in a cluster, creating one large storage pool. https://www.vmware.com/topics/glossary/content/hyperconverged-storage.html

Selected Answer: A

Although I originally tended to "hyperconverged infrastructure", I finally chose A, "SAN", because hyperconverged infrastructure is defined as a mix of different resources types, such as hypervisor, processing, storage, network and others.
