An administrator has 24 physical servers that need to be configured with vSAN.

To ensure that a single rack failure is not going to affect the data availability, while minimizing the number of racks used, the administrator has to do the following:

Distribute servers across at least three different racks. This is because vSAN supports up to three fault domains per cluster, which can be used to tolerate one or two failures. If only two racks are used, then only one failure can be tolerated4

Configure three fault domains. A fault domain is a logical grouping of hosts that share a common failure point, such as a rack or a power supply. By configuring fault domains, vSAN can place replicas of an object across different fault domains, so that a failure within one fault domain does not result in data loss orunavailability4 References: 4: VMware vSAN Specialist v2 Exam Preparation Guide, page 13
