When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released?
A company has requested assistance with a new cross-site failover design to support business-critical applications.
* It has two sites when are very well-connected, and latency is less than 5ms round trip.
* The customer requires that its applications be restarted even in the event of a total site failure.
* The applications must be kept online even when migrated during maintenance.
* Storage arrays at either site support both synchronous and asynchronous replication.
Which two options are accurate application requirements for this scenario? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, C
Requirements are: The customer requires that its applications be restarted even in the event of a total site failure; The applications must be kept online even when migrated during maintenance. Therefore:A) No -- customer requires the application to be restarted in an event of site failure. A restart implies a short downtime, while answer A states ''continuous availability'', which is not true if a restart is involved (and false since the customer doesn't require 100% uptime and it's fine with a restart)B) Yes -- 2 of the requirements are about having the application available during maintenance or after failoverC) Yes -- Same as A, application must be restarted on the secondary site if primary failsD) No -- There are no info supporting this
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 point for the entire environment
Which two actions would meet the design requirements? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, D

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 company has requested that vSphere Virtual Machine Encryption be included in a vSphere 6.5 deployment design to meet the security requirements specified by its compliance team.
Which three design considerations would apply in this case? (Choose three.)
Answer : A, C, E
A company is implementing a new ESXi host cluster at its New York data center.
* The CIO has stated that the new ESXi cluster should be designed with enough failover capacity to sustain two ESXi host failures.
* Six ESXi hosts have been approved for this workload.
* The ESXi hosts are to be purchased from Dell with these specifications:
* 2x10 core 2.2GHz Intel CPU
* 128 GB of memory
* The workload is defined as 150 employee desktop virtual machines each with 3GB RAM reserved.
* All virtual machines should be protected by vSphere High Availability
Which are two true statements regarding failover capacity? (Choose two.)
Answer : B, C
You have the option in vSphere HA to reserved any number of hosts /or % of memory resources (1/3 = ~35%). These both enforce the CIO requirements.
A) Memory reserved is not enough to sustain 2 hosts failureB) Yes, requirements are to sustain 2 hosts failure. Dedicating 2 hosts would leave a total usable memory of 512 GB, which is enough to cover 450GB of VMs memory.C) Yes, if you want to sustain 2 hosts failure you need to reserve the same amount of memory contribution of those hosts. In this case, 2 hosts out of 6 it's 1/3 = 33.3%. So rounding up to 35% is correct.D) No, solution needs to sustain 2 hosts failure
When considering server consolidation, plan on running ___________ vCPUs per core.
