Question #7

During a VCF design workshop, the architect gathered the following customer requirements:

• There must be two environments: PROD and DEV.

• PROD and DEV should be administratively separated.

• PROD will use two different hardware server types, and DEV will only use one hardware server type.

• The VCF infrastructure design should be flexible and scalable as much as possible

How many NSX local managers in total will be provisioned after deploying the full VCF infrastructure?

A . 6
B . 3
C . 12
D . 9

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) infrastructure, the number of NSX Local Managers is equal to the number of workload domains that are deployed.

In this scenario, there will be two workload domains: one for PROD and one for DEV. Additionally, there will be a management domain, which is created during the initial VCF deployment.

So, there will be 3 NSX Local Managers in total:

One for the management domain

One for the PROD workload domain

One for the DEV workload domain

Question #8

An administrator successfully finished restoring a SDDC Manager and now needs to verify its operation.

Which tool should the administrator use for this verification?

A . vRealize Operation plugin tool forVCF
B . Support and Serviceability (SoS) tool
C . SDDC Manager GUI restore health tool
D . Ruby vSphere Console VCF check tool

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

This is because according to VMware documentation5, this is the tool that an administrator should use for verifying the operation of SDDC Manager after restoring it from a file-based backup. The SoS tool can run various tests and checks on SDDC Manager and its components to ensure their health and functionality.

Question #9

An administrator is tasked with deploying a VMware Cloud Foundation environment that consists of three VI Workload Domains. Each VI Workload Domain is comprised of two clusters, with 18 hosts in each cluster.

Which option fulfills this requirement while minimizing the number of NSX-T Manager instances?

A . Deploy one large-sized NSX-T Manager cluster for all VI Workload Domains.
B . Deploy one medium-sized NSX-T Manager cluster for all VI Workload Domains.
C . Deploy one medium-sized NSX-T Manager cluster per VI Workload Domain
D . Deploy one large-sized NSX-T Manager cluster per VI Workload Domain.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

According to NSX Manager VM and Host Transport Node System Requirements23, an NSX-T management cluster formed using a medium-sized appliance can support up to 128 hypervisors. Since each VI Workload Domain has 36 hosts (18 x 2), and there are three VI Workload Domains, the total number of hosts is 108 (36 x 3), which is within the limit of a medium-sized NSX-T Manager cluster.

Question #10

An administrator needs additional capacity on a vSAN cluster. Each host currently has only one disk group.

Which two approaches can be used to expand storage capacity in this situation? (Choose two.)

A . Increase the number of cache disks in the existing disk group.
B . Add an additional disk group.
C . Disable compression.
D . Increase the number of capacity disks in the existing disk group
E . Disable deduplication.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B,D
B,D

Explanation:

To expand storage capacity in a vSAN cluster with one disk group, you can either add more drives to hosts in the cluster, which is commonly referred to as scaling up, or add capacity drives to existing disk groups

Option B: Add an additional disk group – According to search result [1], adding additional drives to a host will increase both capacity and performance [1], and each disk group contains one flash cache device and one or multiple capacity devices for persistent storage [2]. Therefore, adding an additional disk group to each host would increase the storage capacity of the vSAN cluster.

Option D: Increase the number of capacity disks in the existing disk group – Search result [1] explains that vSAN clusters require capacity and cache devices to function, and each

disk group can contain multiple capacity devices for persistent storage [2]. Thus, an additional way to expand storage capacity in the vSAN cluster would be to increase the number of capacity disks in the existing disk group.

Reference: 1: VMware vSAN documentation 2: VMware vSAN documentation

A disk group is a collection of one or more flash-based cache devices and one or more capacity devices that provide storage capacity for a vSAN cluster. A vSAN cluster can have multiple disk groups, and each disk group can have a different configuration.

To expand storage capacity in a vSAN cluster where each host currently has only one disk group, the administrator can add an additional disk group or increase the number of capacity disks in the existing disk group.

Adding an additional disk group involves adding more disks to the host and creating a new disk group. This approach can provide additional capacity and performance benefits, as the new disk group can be configured with different settings to optimize performance and capacity.

Increasing the number of capacity disks in the existing disk group involves adding more capacity devices to the existing disk group. This approach can provide additional capacity, but may not necessarily provide performance benefits as the existing disk group may already be fully utilized.

Question #11

The architect of a multi-site VMware Cloud Foundation solution is tasked with ensuring that the prerequisites for vSAN data at rest encryption have been achieved. The existing design calls for use of the vSphere Native Key Provider. NSX-T is configured with Federation, and both sites benefit from a stretched TO and T1 network topology.

A new security policy requires the use of vSphere Virtual Machine encryption, in addition to the at-rest encryption already configured. During a failover test from Site-A to Site-B using Site Recovery Manager, the virtual machines were unable to power-on.

How does the design need to be changed to support the new requirement?

A . Use a third-party KMS solution that allows for key replication.
B . Use a third-party KMS solution at each site.
C . Ensure that a TPM 2.0 certified module is installed on all ESXi hosts at Site-B.
D . Ensure that the Site Recovery Manager service account has Cryptographer ReadKeyServerslnfo privileges.

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: A
A

Explanation:

This is because according to VMware documentation1, vSphere Native Key Provider (NKP) is a simple key management solution that does not support key replication across sites or clusters. It also does not support vSphere Virtual Machine encryption which requires a third-party KMS solution2. Therefore, to enable both vSAN data at rest encryption and vSphere Virtual Machine encryption in a multi-site VCF solution, you need to use a third-party KMS solution that allows for key replication across sites.

Question #12

A customer purchased six new HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 hosts and is interested in deploying a VCF infrastructure that will coexist with the current VMware on AWS cloud DR solution in a hybrid model.

The architect suggests the VCF architecture that will help the customer run the workloads while offering workload isolation.

Which VCF architecture was suggested for this customer?

A . node management domain and 3-node VI workload domain in a VCF standard model, while leveraging resource pools
B . 3-node management domain and 3-node VI workload domain in a VCF standard model
C . node management/workload domain in a VCF consolidated model, while leveraging resource pools
D . node management/workload domain in a VCF consolidated model

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

This is because according to VMware documentation45, VCF supports two architecture models – standard and consolidated. The standard architecture model separates management workloads and user workloads into different domains, while the consolidated architecture model combines them into one domain. For a hybrid model that coexists with VMware on AWS cloud DR solution, the standard architecture model is recommended as it provides workload isolation and mobility across VCF instances6. The minimum requirement for creating a management domain or a VI workload domain is three hosts45.

Which service is integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation and enables a centralized and simplified lifecycle management of ESXi host?

A . vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager
B . vSphere Lifecycle Manager
C . Solutions Manager
D . vCenter Lifecycle Manager

Reveal Solution Hide Solution

Correct Answer: B
B

Explanation:

The service that is integrated with VMware Cloud Foundation and enables a centralized and simplified lifecycle management of ESXi host is Option B: vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) 1.

vLCM enables you to create cluster images for centralized and simplified lifecycle management of ESXi hosts including firmware. When a VI workload domain cluster is created with an image, you can update and upgrade the ESXi version on all hosts in the cluster collectively 1.

vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) is a key component of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) that enables centralized and simplified lifecycle management of ESXi hosts. It provides a single interface to manage host baselines, firmware and driver updates, and upgrades. With vLCM, administrators can create custom images for ESXi hosts, define baselines for host compliance, and apply updates to hosts in a coordinated manner. This helps to ensure consistency across the environment and reduce the risk of configuration drift. (source: VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x Architecture and Deployment Guide)
