An organization’s data scientists are executing a plan to use machine learning (ML). They must have access to graphical processing unit (GPU) capabilities to execute their computational models when needed. The

solutions architect needs to design a solution to ensure that GPUs can be shared by multiple virtual machines.

A.

NVIDIA vGPU

B.

AMD MxGPU

C.

vSphere DirectPath I/O

D.

vSGA

vSphere Bitfusion

An architect is planning the physical server configuration for a vSAN-based infrastructure.

Which operations mode should a RAID controller support to minimize potential server downtime during physical disk failures?

A.

RAID controller with Passthru mode

B.

RAID controller with RAID 5 mode

C.

RAID controller with RAID 10 mode

D.

RAID controller with RAID 6 mode

An architect is tasked with expanding an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution so that it can be used to deliver a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) service off-shore development activities.

The production environment is currently delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers. The two data centers are currently connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links. The current operations management components are deployed to a dedicated management cluster that is configured with N+1 redundancy. The current VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) has a monthly availability target of 99.5%, which includes all management components.

The customer requires that the new solution scale to support the concurrent running of 500 persistent virtual desktops. The virtual desktops must not share the same virtual infrastructure as existing virtual machines, but can be managed using the same VMware operations management components. Any new VDI service management components must be installed into the management cluster. There is no requirement to back up the virtual desktops because all relevant user data is stored centrally. The VDI service is providing business critical services and must have an availability target of 99.9%.

Given the information from the customer, which two assumptions would the architect include in the design? (Choose two.)

A.

The existing virtual infrastructure has sufficient capacity to host the new VDI workloads

B.

The existing operations monitoring tools have sufficient capacity to monitor the new VDI services

C.

The existing management cluster has enough available capacity to host any VDI service management component

D.

The management cluster has N+1 redundancy

E.

The VDI service has a higher service-level agreement (SLA) than the operations management SLA

A customer is deploying a new cluster and wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel. The cluster must be able to maintain N+1 resiliency across the remaining hosts while patching activities are performed. The current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines.

What is the minimum number of hosts the customer will require in the cluster in order to meet the required resiliency level?

A.

Five

B.

Six

C.

Four

D.

Seven

An architect is designing a series of new vSphere environments for an organization. The environments will be deployed in their US-East and US-West region data centers. Each data center may have one or more dedicated vSphere environments. Only the vSphere environments within a data center will be configured with Enhanced Linked Mode. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has authorized the use of VMware vRealize Automation Cloud for automation. The build team creates standardized virtual machine images for various operating systems in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and publishes the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository.

The architect must design a content library topology that meets the following requirements:

    A localized content library must be available in each data center.

    Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team.

    The cloud automation platform must be able to consume the latest approved content library images.

    It must leverage the existing build team processes.

What should the architect recommend to meet the requirements?

A.

Work with the build team to create a local content library for each vSphere environment.

Import the OVF images when new image are published to the repository.

B.

Create a local content library for the primary vSphere environment in each data center.

Create a subscribed content library for each additional vSphere environment in each data center.

Configure the content library to download content automatically.

C.

Work with the build team to automate a JSON-based manifest to the repository when changes occur in the repository.

Create a subscribed content library for each vSphere environment.

Configure the content library to download content when needed.

D.

Work with the build team to automate a JSON-based manifest to the repository when changes occur in the repository.

Create a subscribed content library for each vSphere environment.

Configure the content library to download content automatically.

An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer based on the following information:

    The solution must use investments in existing storage array that supports both block and file storage.

    The solution must support the ability to migrate workloads between hosts within a cluster.

    The solution must support resource management priorities.

    The solution must support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs.

    The solution should use existing IPv4 based network infrastructure.

    There is no budget for additional physical hardware.

Which two design decisions could the architect make to meet these requirements? (Choose two.)

A.

The ESXi hosts will leverage Fibre Channel (FC)

B.

The ESXi hosts will leverage NFS 3

C.

The ESXi hosts will leverage Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE)

D.

The ESXi hosts will leverage iSCSI

E.

The ESXi hosts will leverage NFS 4.1

An architect is designing a solution for an environment with two types of resource profiles that must be virtualized. The first type consists of Tier 1 virtual machines that are disk I/O intensive, but do NOT require high CPU or memory. The second type consists of Tier 2 virtual machines that require a lower CPU and memory allocation and have minimal disk I/O.

Which design recommendation should the architect make for distributing the resource profiles?

A.

Separate the two resource profiles into two clusters. The Tier 1 cluster will have fast storage while the Tier 2 cluster will not.

B.

Run both resource profiles on the same cluster with the same host hardware platform.

C.

Separate the two resource profiles into two clusters. The Tier 2 cluster will have faster CPU and more memory while the Tier 1 cluster will have slower CPU and less memory but more disk space.

D.

Run both resource profiles on the same cluster with host hardware that has fast CPU, large amounts of memory, and the fastest storage platform.

Which design decision must be included in a design to allow for the deployment of a minimum supported configuration of vCenter High Availability (HA)?

A.

A new subnet will be provisioned for vCenter HA services

B.

A vSphere cluster will consist of more than three nodes

C.

The deployed vCenter Server will be Tiny

D.

The vCenter HA network will support a latency of less than 50 ms
