An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) using VMware vSAN. The architect uses a storage assessment tool to determine the storage requirements for the new vSAN cluster. The new SDDC is going to be deployed into the existing data center and must be connected to a shared core network switch.
The architect decides to use vSAN ReadyNodes with the following configuration:
Two disk groups with:
Write Intensive NVMe 800 GB drive for cache
Four 3.84 TB Mixed Use NVMe for capacity
Four 10 GbE ports
Which element represents a risk that should be included in this design?
Correct Answer:
C
A customer provides the following list of requirements for their vSphere platform:
REQ01 The solution should utilize dual network connections to eliminate single points of failure.
REQ02 The solution should allow logs to be retained for a period of 30 days.
REQ03 All user access to the platform should be recorded for audit purposes.
REQ04 The solution should allow the management of multiple ESXi hosts.
REQ05 The solution should allow users to view the remote console of virtual machines.
Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer:
AE
An architect is designing a new VMware solution for a customer that has a number of different resource
profiles.
The following are the business requirements for the design:
The solution must support virtual machines with the following storage profiles:
-Write-intensive
-Backup
-Write-Once-Read-Many (WORM) archive
The solution must support migration of virtual machine disks between storage profiles.
The WORM archive data must be located at an isolated secure site.
The backup storage array must only be connected to a backup media server.
All data should be recoverable from backup.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet the business requirements?
Correct Answer:
C
An architect is designing storage for a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements: Asynchronous replication is required between two sites.
The impact on the storage layer should not impact the performance of the compute layer.
Each application tier will require different replication attributes.
Virtual machine live migration across compute and storage must be supported.
Virtual machine aware back up will be leveraged.
Operational management overhead should be minimized.
Operational automation should be supported.
Which storage design recommendations would meet the requirements?
Correct Answer:
B
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.)
Correct Answer:
AE
