Question: 1 / 400

Regarding VMFS3 volumes in ESXi 6.x, which two statements are true?

Creation of VMFS3 volumes is unsupported.

The statement that creation of VMFS3 volumes is unsupported is true. In ESXi 6.x, VMware has moved towards supporting VMFS5 as the preferred file system for virtual machines due to its advanced features and improved performance. Thus, creating new VMFS3 volumes is not an option in this version, as VMware recommends utilizing the newer VMFS5 for all new storage configurations.

While existing VMFS3 volumes can still be operational in ESXi 6.x environments, VMware does not support creating new VMFS3 volumes. This ensures that users take advantage of the latest enhancements and optimizations present in VMFS5. In terms of upgrades, while existing VMFS3 volumes can be upgraded to VMFS5, stating that this upgrade is unsupported would contradict the capabilities offered by the system.
