A virtualization administrator has been tasked with migrating several business applications from physical to virtual. The administrator must also migrate the virtual machines from VMware Workstation to vSphere 6.5, using vCenter Converter Standalone 6.1.
In this scenario, when two source types are supported? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
A solution architect has finished conducting interviews and gathering requirements for a company, and has determined that the logical requirements are:
* two data centers for high availability
* synchronous replication to meet the zero-minute RPO
* separating management workloads from application workloads
* dedicated 10Gb uplink for each low latency server
* single management port for the entire environment
Which two actions would meet the design requirements? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, C
Folders don't separate workloads (management object only) and Zero-RPO implies vSAN stretched cluster. Even though thee vSAN nodes are at different sites, they must reside within one logical data center in vCenter (and inside a single Cluster Object).
A development team must provide layer 2 network isolation between virtual machines that are in the same VLAN. The solutions architect must provide additional security between the virtual machines on the same subnet.
How can this be done without consuming more VLANs?
Answer : B
Private VLANs are used to solve VLAN ID limitations by adding a further segmentation of the logical broadcast domain into multiple smaller broadcast subdomains. Private VLANs are Promiscuous, Secondary VLANs can be either Isolated or Community -- https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.networking.doc/GUID-C42AFA4A-1BDA-4ECC-B2D1-6E538771B2C3.html
A company is in the process of deploying a modern video-streaming application.
* The application is able to scale (expand and collapse) its steaming nodes in the form of CentOS 7.x 64bit virtual machines, based on demand.
* This IO-Intensive application has a high CPU demand and generates a significant number of disk operations (IOPS).
* To host the application, the company decided to implement a brand-new VMware cluster with vSphere 6.5
* The company would like a significant reduction in CPU utilization as well as a possible increase in throughput.
Which virtual disk adapter should be recommended for the company's physical design?
Answer : B
''PVSCSI adapters are high-performance storage adapters that can provide greater throughput and lower CPU utilization. They are best suited for environments where hardware or applications drive a very high amount of I/O throughput, such as SAN environments.''
A university is going through an IT transformation project and is re-evaluating how to use technology to provide a better academic experience for its 15,000 students. The university is a current VMware customer and has a single data center.
* Within that data center, the university is using blade servers backed by a Fibre Channel array for its business critical applications
* It has two iSCSI arrays (one for the development environment and other for the no-critical production environment)
* The university's VMware environment consists of three clusters. The first cluster contains all development virtual machines (VMs), the second cluster is dedicated to DMZ VMs, and the final cluster contains production VMs
* The university requires the ability to perform hardware maintenance without a service interruption, and can only sustain 4 minutes of downtime per month
From the list below, which three are constraints? (Choose three.)
Answer : B, C, E
When considering server consolidation, plan on running ___________ vCPUs per core.
Answer : C
A company wants to use All-Flash vSAN as storage for its virtual environment on six hosts. When creating the storage policies for the virtual machine, this company requirements are:
* The virtual machine data must be available in the event of 2-node failure.
* The virtual machine will use as little overhead as possible.
* The virtual machine will be allocating 50GB of 100GB, configured upon creation.
To meet these requirements, what does the storage policy look like?
Answer : B
