Which three should the architect include in their design to address the customer’s concern with NSX Manager availability?

An architect is helping an organization with the Logical Design of an NSX-T Data Center solution.

This information was gathered during the Assessment Phase:

– Customer Is concerned with NSX Manager availability.

– 3 cabinets/racks are available in the data center.

– No integration with 3rd party solution is required.

– There is no budget for physical equipment acquisition.

– The 3 cabinets/racks do not share the same L2 domain.

Which three should the architect include in their design to address the customer’s concern with NSX Manager availability? (Choose three.)
A . Use another NSX Manger IP in case an appliance falls.
B . Deploy 2 cold standby NSX Manager appliances in rack 2/3.
C . Deploy an NSX Manager Appliance per rack and cluster them.
D . Use a physical/internal load-balancer with the cluster.
E . Use separate IP per NSX Manager appliance per rack.
F . Deploy a single active NSX Manager appliance in rack 1.

Answer: C,D,E

Explanation:

Z C Customer is concerned with availability and NSX-T requires (except for labs)a 3x Mgr cluster must be deployed. You can use internal HA/VIP& vSphere HA for Mgmt cluster only when the mgrs. are on the same L2 domain. To do this you need an external load-balancer, the only one that would meet the “no 3rd party” & “no physical equipment acquisition” would be a NSX-T Edge LB though the only answer that lines up with that is (D) and its worded poorly. (F) and (B) are both wrong/worded even more poorly. (A) by itself isn’t right/wrong but when also looking at (E) then you know it doesn’t cut it. (C & E) are correct.
