VMware Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x 3V0-21.21 Exam Questions

An architect is designing a new greenfield environment with 600 ESXi hosts in an automated fashion. The engineering department already has a PXE Boot server, TFTP server, and DHCP server set up with an NFS mount for their current Linux servers.

The architect must be able to demonstrate and meet a security requirement to have all infrastructure processes separated.

Which recommendation should the architect make for the ESXi host deployment?

Refer to the exhibit.

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer shares the following about their existing ESXi host virtual networking infrastructure:

The customer confirms that:

Each ESXi host has approximately 200 virtual machines.

They want to maximize the number of concurrent virtual machine migrations.

When placing a host in maintenance mode, it takes a long time to evacuate the virtual machines.

Which two recommendations should the architect make in order to help the customer overcome their challenge? (Choose two.)

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 architect is designing a new VMware software-designed data center (SDDC) using vSphere 7 to meet the following requirements:

The SDDC must be deployed at two locations: primary and secondary.

vSphere Replication must be used to replicate virtual machines between the two locations.

Site Recovery Manager must be used to orchestrate disaster recovery (DR) activities.

One single-sign on (SSO) domain must be used to authenticate access at both locations.

Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design.

The following information is noted:

There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines:

Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM.

Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks.

Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle management requirements.

Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines are all hosted on a single large vSphere cluster.

The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has raised concerns that hosting externally facing applications alongside management tools does not meet internal compliance standards.

The Operations team has raised concerns about Tier-1 virtual machines negatively impacting the performance of vCenter Server.

The Operations lead has stated that management changes have consistently been rejected by application teams.

As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?

An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.

The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.

The development cluster host configuration is:

4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets 16 cores

512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets

There is no resource contention

The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:

8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets 8 cores

256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets

There is no resource contention

The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.

What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?

An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.

The existing design has the following requirements:

REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.

REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.

REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.

REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.

Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?
