VMware 3V0-21.23 Practice Test - Questions Answers, Page 9

An architect is designing a vSphere-based application hosting solution in a brownfield site.

The following information has been provided during the requirements gathering workshop:

The solution should support 5,000 compute workloads across two physical sites.

The CFO has approved budget for the purchase of new server and network hardware only.

The existing storage array is currently Fibre Channel connected with 2 x 8Gbps interfaces to a dedicated Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric.

The existing storage array does not support integration with vSphere API for Storage Awareness.

The existing storage array can be configured to support NFS storage.

The existing vSphere administration team will responsible for operational management of the new solution.

Which storage technology should the architect recommend based on these requirements?

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:

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 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.

What would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for each type of workload in the design?

An architect is responsible for the lifecycle management design for a brownfield vSphere-based solution.

The following information has been provided during initial meetings around the new solution:

Existing heterogeneous server hardware will be used to provide the hosting platform.

The available hardware is:

- 10 servers that contain 2 x 20-Core Intel Xeon processors and 512GB RAM from Vendor A

- 10 servers that contain 2 x 24-Core Intel Xeon processors and 768GB RAM from Vendor A

- 20 servers that contain 2 x 16-Core AMD EPYC processors and 512GB RAM from Vendor B

- 10 servers that contain 1 x 24-Core AMD EPYC processors and 256GB RAM from Vendor B

All of the hardware is currently listed on the VMware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL).

All existing server hardware has 36months vendor support remaining.

The requirements from the customer are:

REQ001 - The solution must support the hosting of 5,000 workloads spread across two physical sites.

REQ002 - The solution should minimize the number of clusters.

REQ003 - The solution must ensure that there is no impact to service when completing upgrades.

Given the resource requirements needed for the solution, the architect has calculated that all of the existing servers will be required to provide sufficient resources for the new environment. The Intel-based (Vendor A) servers will be deployed to the primary site and both the Intel-based and AMD-based servers (Vendor B) will be deployed to the secondary site.

Which assumption should the architect make to support the lifecycle management of vSphere 8?

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:

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 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.

What would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for each type of workload in the design?

During a workshop for a design project, the following information is shared:

Develop and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders and partners to promote collaboration.

Maintain high standards of quality and professionalism in all aspects of the project.

Build a strong foundation for future projects, including cloud infrastructures.

Ensure project timelines and milestones are met by effectively managing resources and priorities.

Which of these would be classified as a business outcome of the project?

What is an example of an availability design quality?

An architect will be updating an existing vSphere data center design.

The following information has been provided:

The new design must carry over existing VLANs for workloads.

The networking for storage must not share the data path with workload traffic.

The new design must be able to add additional VLANS.

The new design must reduce management overhead.

The new replacement servers have two 100GB network cards.

Which design will meet the requirements for existing workload networks and allow scaling of additional networks?

An architect is holding a design workshop with a customer for a new solution. The customer states that the new solution needs to provide the following capabilities:

Automated deployment and lifecycle management of the vSphere platform

Self-Service deployment of virtual machines and other objects from a central catalog

Monitoring, logging and analytic tooling to provide visibility and troubleshooting of the whole solution

Support deployment via infrastructure-as-code methods for the additional management components

The customer also requests that the solution be as cost-effective as possible while still delivering a fast time to value for the organization.

Which design approach should the architect recommend to meet these requirements?

An architect is tasked with an application migration to a new VMware Cloud platform. The application service owner assistance from the architect to identify the technical requirements of the application.

The following has been made available following initial discussions:

A VMware Aria Operations report containing current resource usage

The output from a planning session including a roadmap for planned service growth

A service dependency map from the company's IT operations management tool

The desired consolidation ratio for the target platform is 10:1

The applications hosting budget is reducing by 10%

Which two contain the technical requirements of the application? (Choose two.)
