A vSAN ESA solution is configured using the following requirements:• Seven ESX Hosts, each host...

In vSAN ESA, each host uses a storage pool instead of the older OSA disk- group model. The question asks what percentage of that host’s local capacity is impacted by the failure of one storage device. Each host has 12 equal-capacity storage devices, and all 12 devices participate in one storage pool. Therefore, one failed device represents one-twelfth of that host’s local pool capacity. One divided by twelve equals approximately 8.3%. RAID-6 with FTT=2 determines object resilience across hosts and fault domains, but it does not change the simple local-capacity fraction represented by a single failed disk on one host. With sufficient cluster resources and policy compliance, vSAN ESA can continue serving data and begin repair or reprotection using remaining capacity. However, the impacted local host capacity is still the failed device’s share of the host storage pool. The correct percentage is therefore 8.3%, not 25%, 50%, or 0%.
