During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram:
What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?
Answer : A
' The problem is that in A VM network and management is together. In this scenario backup and VM network should be together. From the load point of view, it makes sense, as backup can saturate 100% of NIC but it is not service.'
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?
Answer : A
cluster must be able to maintain N+1
current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines.
So, we need 3 hosts to support N+1.
Customer wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel.
So that means 5 hosts are required.
An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer to meet the following requirements:
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 32G fabric infrastructure.
There is no budget for additional physical hardware.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?
Answer : A
Support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs, seems to have VMs with RDM, FC supports this type of deployment and so A makes sense. Extra transceivers for FCoE need to be installed, as per budged limited no space to invest on those
A new vSphere platform is being created. The platform will host virtual machines that will run management services and line-of-business applications.
What should the architect consider when designing the number and type of clusters required?
Answer : D
Following a company merger, there are two data centers running vSphere environments. Both data centers are leveraging separate Layer 3 vMotion networks.
Which requirement must be met in order to enable vMotion migration between these locations?
Answer : B
A customer requires the use of data encryption to ensure data is not accessible when a drive is removed from the primary storage platform. However, there is also a requirement to use deduplication and compression against all workloads in order to conserve space.
Which solution meets the customer requirements?
Answer : D
Array-based encryption provides the same benefits as SEDs (self-encrypting drives), in that the drive shows no readable data once it is removed from the array. That means drives don't need to be physically destroyed when they are removed, which brings cost, security and environmental benefits
There is a request for approved virtual machine applications through a new vSphere platform's integrated automation portal. The platform was built following all provided company security guidelines and has been assessed against Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (SOX) regulations.
The platform has the following characteristics:
vRealize Operations is being used to monitor all clusters.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster, supporting all management services.
All network traffic is via distributed virtual switches (DVS).
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for all line-of-business applications.
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
There is a dedicated ESXi cluster for virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI).
Network traffic is serviced by NSX-T.
The application owner is requesting approval to install a new service that must be protected as per the Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard.
Which additional non-functional requirement should the architect include in the design to support the new service?
Answer : D
The vSphere hosting platform and all PCI application virtual machines must be monitored using the vRealize Operations Compliance Pack for Payment Card Industry.
'Non-functional requirements specify all the remaining requirements not covered by the functional requirements. They specify criteria that judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviours'
