Exam 3V0-23.25 Topic 1 Question 56 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 3V0-23.25 exam
Question #: 56
Topic #: 1
An L3 Support Engineer is replacing a failed NVMe drive on a vSAN ESA host in a VCF Workload Domain.
The engineer physically swaps the failed drive with a brand new, enterprise-grade 7.68 TB NVMe device.
However, SDDC Manager and vCenter refuse to automatically claim the drive into the vSAN Storage Pool.
The engineer checks the Ruby vSphere Console (RVC) output:
```
[RVC Output: vsan.disks_stats ~cluster]
+-------------+----------+-----------+------------+-------------------------------------+
| Device Name | Status | State | Capacity | HCL Compliance |
+-------------+----------+-----------+------------+--------------------------------------+
| naa.5000a...| In-Use | OK | 3.84 TB | Yes |
| naa.5000b...| In-Use | OK | 3.84 TB | Yes |
| naa.5000x...| Unclaimed| Eligible | 7.68 TB | No (Firmware) |
+-------------+----------+-----------+------------+--------------------------------------+
```
What combination of root cause analysis and procedural steps is required to successfully integrate this new drive and restore the cluster to full health? (Select all that apply.)
