Which configuration option should the architect recommend for installing ESXi hosts to meet these requirements?

An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) using VMware vSAN. The architect uses a storage assessment tool to determine the storage requirements for the new vSAN cluster. The new SDDC is going to be deployed into the existing data center and must be connected to a shared core network switch.

The architect decides to use vSAN ReadyNodes with the following configuration:

• Two disk groups with:

• uk.co.certification.simulator.questionpool.PList@195eb530

In a meeting to discuss the minimum viable product (MVP) deployment of a new customer-facing application, the key stakeholder shares details of the application components and the application administrators share details of performance and integrity tests for the application.

The application will be made up of the following components:

• A web server

-Steps to confirm the web server is operating correctly will take 15 minutes after the application server is online.

• An application server

-Steps to confirm application server integrity will take 15 minutes after the database is online.

• A database server

-The database server will be managed by a database administrator, with an agreed service-level agreement (SLA) to restore and validate database services within one hour.

The existing VMware infrastructure offers a recovery point objective (RPO) of 5 minutes and recovery time objective (RTO) of 15 minutes through a combination of backups and replication.

In the event of an outage impacting all three application components, how long will it take for the application to recover and complete all checks?

An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.

During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:

• The solution must initially support the concurrent running of 300 production and 600 development virtual machines.
• The production environment should be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers. The development environment must be vSphere-based but does not have to be deployed on-premises.
• The two data centers are connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links.
• The customer’s server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be based on blade architecture only.
• The service owner has said that is important to ensure that neither the availability target of 99.5% nor the resource capacity is affected when the operations team completes maintenance activities, such as the monthly software patching and ad-hoc hardware break/fix.
• All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service. The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is four hours.
• The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is 24 hours.

Given the information from the customer, which two would be classified as assumptions within the design? (Choose two.)

Following a recent acquisition, an architect needs to merge IT assets into its current data center. The combined vSphere environment will need to run the newly acquired company’s virtual machines.

Network integration work has already been completed and the current environment has capacity to host all virtual machines. The Operations team needs to identify which virtual machines belong to the acquired company and report on their usage.

How should the architect merge the company’s assets and virtual machines?

Refer to the exhibit.

• Partially Automated vSphere DRS
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Cluster Three

• Three ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with admission control is disabled
• Proactive HA is not supported
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure if resources are available
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure regardless of available resources
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer and learns that the customer has:

• A single vSphere cluster
• Two storage arrays with different RAID capabilities

Which two design decisions should the architect make to maximize data availability and data performance for this customer? (Choose two.)

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

• Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
• There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
• There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
• The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.

Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?

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.)

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement (REQ) and constraints (CON):

• REQ01: The customer is looking for a way to limit database virtual machine (VM) placement to save on CPU licensing costs.
• CON01: There is a single cluster with no budget to scale.
• CON02: All virtual machines must run on the consolidated cluster.

Which two design decisions should the architect make to meet the customer requirement? (Choose two.)
