VMware Certified Professional - Data Center Virtualization (VCP-DCV) Practice Exam

Upon completion of a datastore wizard, what will be created?

1. 100GB VMFS5 datastore with free space available for expansion

2. 100GB VMFS5 datastore with free space available for a second datastore

3. 100GB VMFS3 datastore

4. 200.01 GB VMFS5 datastore

The correct answer is: 100GB VMFS5 datastore with free space available for expansion

The completion of a datastore wizard results in the creation of a 100GB VMFS5 datastore with available free space for expansion. This is aligned with the capabilities of VMFS5, which allows for more efficient space utilization and larger datastore sizes compared to its predecessor VMFS3. With VMFS5, the maximum size of a single VMFS volume can reach up to 64TB, and it incorporates features such as space reclamation and support for virtual volumes. When a datastore is created, it is designed to provide a specified amount of storage, in this case, 100GB. Moreover, the fact that there is "free space available for expansion" indicates that the datastore can be resized or adjusted in the future, which is a significant advantage for managing storage resources dynamically to meet changing demands. While other options suggest the creation of datastores, they do not accurately reflect the expected outcome post-wizard completion regarding size or the specific VMFS version. For instance, a VMFS3 datastore would not take advantage of the enhanced features of VMFS5, and the mention of 'available free space for a second datastore' does not directly correspond to the common configuration outcomes provided by the datastore wizard. This makes the first option the most accurate representation
