QUESTION: 14

During yesterday’s business hours, a cache drive failed on one of the vSAN nodes. The administrator reached out to the manufacturer and received a replacement drive the following day.

Physically replace the failed cache device, and vSAN will automatically allocate the storage. Then, rebalance the cache layer.
Place the disk group into maintenance mode, and select Full Data Migration. Then, physically replace the failed cache device. Afterwards, vSAN will rebuild the disk group automatically.
