Newer generations of network-based storage attempt to share existing infrastructure, while combining ideas from the storage industry, such as fast, reliable transport of data. Gigabit Ethernet, for speed, and TCP, for reliability, represent this combination for the latest versions of NFS and iSCSI. iSCSI uses the sharing and virtualization capabilities of a traditional SAN, but also includes the low-cost infrastructure of a traditional Ethernet.

Definately iSCSI and NFS … you can’t add any other type of storage as a datastore.

CIFS is activedirectory/ldap authenticated file shares!!! not vm datastores

Let’s examine the concept of a Datastore.

A datastore is a logical container that holds virtual machine files and other files necessary for virtual machine operations. Datastores can exist on different types of physical storage, including local storage, iSCSI, Fibre Channel SAN, or NFS. A datastore can be VMFS-based or NFS-based.

1GB Ethernet network rules out Fibre Channel SAN, local storage can only be shared via VSA, so answers are A and D.
