What is the minimum number of ESXi hosts required to create a vSphere vSAN cluster?
- A . 1
- B . 2
- C . 3
- D . 4
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?
- A . The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure
- B . The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour
- C . Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled
- D . Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters
Refer to the exhibit. During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram:
What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?
- A . – Use explicit failover order with pNIC0 as Active for ESXi Management and VM Network
– Use explicit failover order with pNIC1 as Active for backup network
– Use explicit failover order with pNIC2 as Active for vMotion
– Use explicit failover order with pNIC3 as Active for replication - B . – Use the Route Based on IP Hash for ESXi management and VM network
– Use the Route Based on IP Hash for backup network
– Use the Route Based on the Originating Virtual Port for vMotion
– Use failover with pNIC3 as Active for replication. - C . – Create a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_01
– Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for vMotion
– Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for replication - D . – Use the Route Based on IP Hash for ESXi management and VM network
– Use failover with pNIC1 as Active for backup network
– Create a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_02
Which requirement is essential to ensure that the system can handle its intended workload without performance degradation?
- A . Performance requirements
- B . SLA requirements
- C . Capacity requirements
- D . Compute requirements
How is the physical and storage connectivity topology determined in a vSphere environment?
- A . By specifying the expected levels of system performance and responsiveness.
- B . By identifying the type of data traffic and communication requirements in the environment.
- C . By evaluating the storage architecture options such as SAN, local storage, or HCI.
- D . By considering the physical connections and pathways between storage devices and vSphere hosts.
An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
– REQ01 The platform must provide a minimum of N+1 redundancy.
– REQ02 The recovery point objective (RPO) for all virtual machines within the environment is one hour.
– REQ03 The production environment must be deployed into the primary data center.
– REQ04 The design must adhere to the company security standards, which include Payment Card Industry (PCI) Data Security Standard compliance.
– REQ05 The platform must be capable of running 1,000 virtual machines across both data centers concurrently.
