An administrator has been tasked with deleting an existing Workload Domain but needs to ensure all virtual machines continue to run during the process.
Which action, if any, must be performed to meet the requirement?
Answer : A
In VMware Cloud Foundation, deleting a Workload Domain will result in the removal of its associated infrastructure, which includes the ESXi hosts and storage. To ensure that virtual machines continue to run during this process, they must be migrated manually to other workload domains before the deletion of the Workload Domain. VMware Cloud Foundation does not automatically migrate VMs across workload domains, and tools like VMware HCX are typically used for migrations across different environments rather than within the same VCF instance.
Manual migration allows the administrator to ensure VMs are relocated to the desired locations and prevents potential downtime or data loss.
For which three products can SDDC Manager manage the certificates? (Choose three.)
Answer : B, E, F
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, SDDC Manager is responsible for managing certificates for several core infrastructure components to ensure secure communication:
1. VMware vCenter Server: SDDC Manager manages the certificates for vCenter Server to maintain secure connectivity and trust within the environment.
2. VMware SDDC Manager: Certificates for SDDC Manager itself are managed to secure its interactions with other VCF components.
3. VMware NSX Manager: Certificates for NSX Manager are managed by SDDC Manager, ensuring secure network management and data transport.
An administrator is tasked to bring up a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) instance. After uploading the Deployment Parameter Workbook, the VMware Cloud Builder failed to validate the configuration, which displayed this error: ''Gateway IP Address for Management is not contactable.''
What validation item could be the cause of the failure?
Answer : C
The error message ''Gateway IP Address for Management is not contactable'' indicates an issue with network connectivity. During the deployment validation process in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), VMware Cloud Builder checks that all specified IP addresses, including the management gateway, are reachable. If the management gateway IP cannot be contacted, it typically means there's a network configuration issue, such as incorrect routing, subnet mask, or an unreachable gateway, which prevents proper connectivity.
A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) administrator wants to download the install bundles to deploy a new VI Workload Domain. The SDDC Manager is currently not connected to the internet.
Which two methods can the VCF administrator use to download the install bundles? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, B
When the SDDC Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is not connected to the internet, administrators have two main options to download install bundles:
1. Using the Bundle Transfer Utility: This utility allows administrators to download bundles on an internet-connected machine and then transfer them to the isolated VCF environment. It's specifically designed for environments without direct internet access.
2. Using a Proxy in the SDDC Manager: Configuring a proxy in SDDC Manager enables indirect access to download bundles through a controlled connection, such as a secure proxy server, if internet access is permitted only through proxy settings.
Which two steps would an administrator complete to upgrade the components of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) aware Aria Suite? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, C
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the process for upgrading Aria Suite components (formerly vRealize Suite) and Aria Suite Lifecycle is as follows:
1. Upgrade Aria Suite components through Aria Suite Lifecycle: Aria Suite Lifecycle is the designated tool for managing and upgrading individual Aria Suite components, ensuring they are properly updated and maintained within VCF.
2. Upgrade Aria Suite Lifecycle through the SDDC Manager: SDDC Manager manages the lifecycle of Aria Suite Lifecycle itself to ensure compatibility with the VCF stack.
Which two prerequisites must be met before an NSX Edge cluster can be deployed through SDDC Manager in a VI Workload Domain? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, E
Before deploying an NSX Edge cluster through SDDC Manager in a VI Workload Domain, the following prerequisites must be met:
Host overlay and Edge overlay networks must be routable: This ensures that the NSX Edge nodes and ESXi hosts can communicate over the required overlay networks for NSX-T functionality.
The FQDN of the NSX Edge nodes must be resolvable through DNS: Proper DNS resolution of the NSX Edge nodes' FQDNs is essential for seamless configuration and management within the VMware Cloud Foundation environment.
In which order does a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled need to be upgraded?
Answer : D
When upgrading a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled in VMware Cloud Foundation, the correct sequence is essential to maintain compatibility and stability. The upgrade process should start with NSX, as it provides the foundational networking services required for both vCenter and workload management components. vCenter Server is upgraded next, followed by ESXi hosts to ensure compatibility with the updated vCenter version. Finally, Workload Management is upgraded last, as it relies on the updated versions of NSX, vCenter Server, and ESXi to function correctly.
