B. The cluster is a hybrid environment.
C. Storage policies require FTT=1.
D. The cluster is an all-flash environment.
The vSAN host memory needs to be replaced and the entire operation is expected to take 90-120 minutes. Which vSAN advanced setting can be adjusted to avoid rebuild operations during the host hardware maintenance?

B. Forced Provisioning
C. Object Repair Timer
D. Thin Swap
