VMware 3V0-21.23 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 4

As part of designing a greenfield vSphere-based hosting solution, an architect is responsible for defining a patch management solution for the virtual infrastructure.

During initial meetings with the customer, the following information is provided:

There are two geographically dispersed physical sites (primary and secondary) in scope for the solution.

The inter-site connectivity has been classified as low bandwidth and high latency.

The customer has the following requirements:

REQ001 - Only IT Security Team-approved versions of VMware Tools should be installed across all workloads within the infrastructure.

REQ002 - The solution should minimize traffic across the inter-site link.

REQ003 - Upgrades to the virtual infrastructure should continue in the event of a failure with either site.

A combination of which three design decisions could the architect make to ensure the requirements are met? (Choose three.)

An architect is conducting interviews to gather requirements for a new vSphere-based private cloud solution.

The following information has been provided by the customer:

The customer, after 10years within an outsourced managed service contract, has decided to bring application hosting back in-house but lacks the VMware skills to support this.

The customer currently has 5,000 workloads under contract and managed by their partner.

The customer would like to keep IT infrastructure costs at a minimum.

The customer would like to ensure that the solution supports the company's green IT agenda by reducing their carbon footprint.

Which statement is classified as a business factor that would impact the design?

An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site. These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT). The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads, including the recovery time objective (RTO) and recovery point objective (RPO):

Critical workloads have a WRT of 12hours

Production workloads have a WRT of 24hours

Development workloads have a WRT of 24hours

All workloads have an RPO of 4hours

Critical workloads have an RTO of 1hour

Production workloads have an RTO of 12hours

Development workloads have an RTO of 24hours

The customer has also confirmed that production and development workloads are managed by the same team and the disaster recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.

Which three statements would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for workloads within the design? (Choose three.)

An architect is tasked with designing a solution to monitor the operational state of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment through ad-hoc reporting and custom dashboards, alerts, and notifications.

Using VMware Validated Solutions, which validated solution can the architect leverage to meet this requirement?

An architect is designing a new vSphere 8 environment and needs to plan the migration of virtual machines from the source vSphere 7 infrastructure.

The following has been captured about the source infrastructure and project:

All virtual machines operate supported versions of Microsoft Windows

All virtual machines have VMware Tools 11 or higher installed

vCenter Enhanced Linked Mode is configured

VMware PowerCLI is available in the environment

No budget is available for discovery tooling

The architect must capture and review active services from inside running virtual machines to inform the migration design.

Considering the information available, which method can the architect use to acquire the information required?

An architect is tasked with updating the design of an existing vSphere-based solution for a pharmaceuticals customer. The update will include upgrade to VMware vCenter 8 and VMware vSphere 8 and the creation of a new cluster that will be used for ongoing research projects. The research project that is driving the need for an update includes a number of applications that are latency-sensitive.

The customer has confirmed the following information during the initial workshop:

The customer recently completed a right sizing exercise using VMware Aria Operations that resulted in a number of ESXi hosts becoming available for use.

Each of the VMware ESXi host servers is configured with:

-- 2 x 20-core Intel Xeon CPU sockets

-- 1024GB RAM divided evenly between sockets

There is no additional budget for purchasing hardware.

After confirming the existing hardware is still listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL), the architect makes the following design decisions with regard to the workload design:

The solution will support a maximum of 20 combined cores and sockets per virtual machine.

The solution will support a maximum of 512GB RAM per virtual machine.

What should the architect document as justification for these design decisions?

A company has the requirement of ensuring that business-critical applications have the necessary network bandwidth to function optimally and maintain a consistent quality of service (QoS).

Which statement would be included in the logical design to support this requirement?

What are two valid use cases for VMware Cloud Foundation remote clusters? (Choose two.)

An architect is updating the design for a vSphere environment.

During a workshop focused on security, the following has been identified:

It has been determined that any configuration of ESXi hosts can only be completed via VMware vCenter

The Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) service must be disabled on ESXi hosts

The SSH service must be disabled on ESXi hosts

Based on the information from the workshop, which element does the architect need to include in the design?
