List of questions
Question 31

An architect is designing a solution based on the following information:
Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.
Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?
Question 32

An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services.
It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.
The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.
The development cluster host configuration is:
4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores
512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
There is no resource contention
The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:
8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores
256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
There is no resource contention
The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.
What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?

Question 33

During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.
Which two of the listed statements are business requirements? (Choose two.)
Question 34

An architect is designing a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution based on the following customer requirements:
The solution must initially support 1,000 virtual machines
The solution must scale to support the concurrent running of up to 5,000 virtual machines The production environment should be delivered across two data centers The solution should have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of four hours The solution should have a monthly service availability target of 99.8% Which two assumptions could the architect make based on the information from the customer to help size the solution? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
---Page 19 Analyzing the Current State Use monitoring tools to do an inventory of the existing infrastructure and report the resource usage. For each system, capture peak and average utilization for the following items: * CPU * RAM * IOPS * Network utilization
---Page 96 Calculating the Total CPU and Memory Requirements Multiply the adjusted total number of VMs by the average resource usage per server by using the CPU and RAM usage data from the capacity analysis report at peak utilization times. When sizing hosts, use peak utilization levels rather than average utilization. In this way, all systems can run at their observed peak resource levels simultaneously.
---Page 192 Calculating Datastore Size Average size of all VMDKs for a VM: --- Number of VMs x Average size of VM's VMDK files = VM capacity Sizing for average utilization always introduces the risk of workloads peaking at the same time. During peak utilization, the environment might be constrained for resources.
Question 35

A customer requires the use of data encryption to ensure data is not accessible when a drive is removed from the primary storage platform. However, there is also a requirement to use deduplication and compression against all workloads in order to conserve space.
Which solution meets the customer requirements?
Question 36

During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer’s Chief Information Security Office (CISO) provides the following requirements that are pertinent to the design of a new vSphere environment:
All operating system critical patches must be installed within 24 hours of release.
All virtual machine templates must be updated every three months in line with company policy.
Which requirement classification is being gathered for the design documentation?

Question 37

An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.
During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:
The solution must support the concurrent running of 1,000 virtual machines The production environment must be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers All virtual machines must be capable of running in either data center.
The two data centers are currently connected to each other through a single but diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency link.
The link between the two data centers is capable of supporting a round-trip time (RTT) of 150 ms The existing server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be deployed using vSAN ReadyNodes The service owner has stated that it is critical to ensure the availability target of 99.9% All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is five minutes The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is four hours Which two elements represent risks to the successful delivery of this solution? (Choose two.)
Explanation:
B. The backup service has sufficient capacity for the new requirements "All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service." The existing backup service may not have capacity or compatabiltiy for the new SDDC
E. The clusters will have a minimum redundancy of N+1
"The service owner has said that is important to ensure that neither the availability target of 99.5% nor the resource capacity is affected when the operations team completes maintenance activities" We assume N+1 is sufficient. They may require a higher level of redundancy.
Question 38

An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
The platform must be deployed into five physically separate sites.
The sites are spread across multiple regions.
Some sites require more than one vCenter Server.
The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across all sites from a single management tool instance.
Which single sign-on (SSO) design recommendation will meet these requirements?
Explanation:
Use an SSO domain across all vCenter Server instances 'The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across all sites from a single management tool instance' Having a single SSO domain will achieve this. 'The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across ALL SITES from a SINGLE management tool instance' this is Linked mode.
Question 39

The storage team at an organization is planning to migrate from an older Fibre Channel storage environment to a new environment using IP-based storage.
Which two switch features or characteristics are appropriate for IP storage networks? (Choose two.)

Question 40

An architect is designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) that will consist of 100 branch sites connected to a single VMware vCenter Server within the primary data center. To allow for the use of existing automation scripts, there is a requirement to replicate the names of the virtual distributed port groups across all sites. The procurement team purchases licensing and there is no further budget allocated.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet this requirement?
Explanation:
Hosts provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy cache the image (stateless caching):
Set up and apply a host profile for stateless caching. You can cache the image on a local disk, a remote disk, or a USB drive. Continue provisioning this host with vSphere Auto Deploy. If the vSphere Auto Deploy server becomes unavailable, for example because hundreds of hosts attempt to access it simultaneously, the host boots from the cache. The host attempts to reach the vSphere Auto Deploy server after the boot operation to complete configuration.
Hosts provisioned with vSphere Auto Deploy become stateful hosts:
Set up and apply a host profile for stateful installs. When you provision a host with vSphere Auto Deploy, the image is installed on the local disk, a remote disk, or a USB drive. For subsequent boots, you boot from the disk. The host no longer uses vSphere Auto Deploy.
