An architect is designing an environment for a retail customer. The design will use a single small vCenter Server Appliance and a cluster of eight ESXi hosts at a remote site. There is a single 10 GbE connected network at the remote site to support all management services. It is not possible to create additional management networks at the remote site. Virtual machine backups at the site will be dependent on the vCenter Server being available.

Which design decision should the architect make to maximize availability for backups?

A.

vCenter Server High Availability will be configured.

B.

The vCenter Server Appliance will be protected with vSphere Fault Tolerance.

C.

The cluster will be configured to use vSphere DRS in fully automated mode.

D.

The cluster will be configured with vSphere HA and set to restart virtual machines based on guest operating system heartbeat monitoring.

An architect is designing a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution based on the following customer requirements:

    The solution must initially support 1,000 virtual machines

    The solution must scale to support the concurrent running of up to 5,000 virtual machines

    The production environment should be delivered across two data centers

    The solution should have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of four hours

    The solution should have a monthly service availability target of 99.8%

Which two assumptions could the architect make based on the information from the customer to help size the solution? (Choose two.)

A.

The number of vSphere hosts in a cluster

B.

The average resource utilization of a virtual machine

C.

The size (CPU/RAM/storage) of the average virtual machine

D.

The guest operating system for each virtual machine

E.

The size (CPU/RAM/storage) of the vSphere hosts

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:

    All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.

    All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster.

    A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines.

    In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virtual infrastructure in the remaining data centers should not be impacted.

    Access to configure the management virtual machines via vCenter Server must be controlled through the management Active Directory domain.

    Access to configure the Windows and Linux virtual machines must be controlled through the resource Active Directory domain.

    The management and resource Active Directory domains are part of separate Active Directory forests and do not have any trusts between them.

    The design will use Active Directory with Integrated Windows Authentication.

How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?

A.

Deploy a vCenter server for the management cluster.

Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters. Create a shared SSO domain for each physical site.

B.

Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster.

Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters.

Create a shared SSO domain across all physical sites.

C.

Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster with a dedicated SSO domain.

Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters and use a dedicated SSO domain for each physical site.

D.

Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster with a dedicated SSO domain.

Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters and use a dedicated SSO domain into a single physical site.

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement:

    A new vSphere platform must be designed securely and all interfaces must be protected against potential snooping.

How should this non-functional security requirement be documented?

A.

Interfaces must be audited.

B.

Encrypted channels must be used for all communications.

C.

Unauthorized access to interfaces must be reported within 15 minutes.

D.

Communications must be through Private VLANs (PVLAN).

What is a benefit of using a scale-out method for handling vSphere cluster growth?

A.

An increase in the recovery time objective (RTO) for the cluster

B.

Faster to reach the limit of virtual machines per host

C.

An overall reduction in the license costs for the cluster

D.

Less potential impact to virtual machines during a single host failure

Refer to the exhibit.

During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram:

What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?

A.

Use explicit failover order with pNIC0 as Active for ESXi Management and VM Network Use explicit failover order with pNIC1 as Active for backup network

Use explicit failover order with pNIC2 as Active for vMotion Use explicit failover order with pNIC3 as Active for replication

B.

Use the Route Based on IP Hash for ESXi management and VM network Use the Route Based on IP Hash for backup network

Use the Route Based on the Originating Virtual Port for vMotion Use failover with pNIC3 as Active for replication

C.

Create a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_01

Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for vMotion Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for replication

D.

Create a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_02

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following information:

    Each host has 2 × 10 GbE NIC

    EtherChannel is not currently configured

    No changes can be made to the physical network

    Network throughput must be prioritized for defined critical services

A.

Use Route Based on Physical NIC Load.

B.

Use Network I/O Control with Shares.

C.

Use Network I/O Control with Reservation.

D.

Use Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP).

E.

Use Network I/O Control with Limits.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) at an organization raises concerns that their virtual infrastructure environment is vulnerable. Recently, a security-related issue with a virtual machine caused all management services to become unavailable. No budget is available in the short term for additional platform investment. An architect is asked to review the current environment and make recommendations to mitigate concerns.

A virtualization administrator has provided the following details:

    There is a single four node cluster of ESXi servers

    There are two, Layer 2, physical network switches connecting resources

    The data center network is presented as a single /16 subnet

Given the information provided, which functional requirement should the architect include in the design to mitigate the COOs concerns?

A.

The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to new physical network switches

B.

The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to separate distributed virtual switches (DVS)

C.

The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to separate VLANs

D.

The virtual infrastructure environment must connect management services to a vSphere standard switch (VSS)
