Q107. 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?

Q108. An architect is designing a VMware solution for a customer to meet the following requirements:
– The solution must use investments in existing storage array that supports both block and file storage.
– The solution must support the ability to migrate workloads between hosts within a cluster.
– The solution must support resource management priorities.
– The solution must support the ability to connect virtual machines directly to LUNs.
– The solution should use existing 32G fabric infrastructure. There is no budget for additional physical hardware.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

Q109. Which requirement would be classified as a functional requirement within the design documentation?

Q110. An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.
The existing design has the following requirements:
– REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.
– REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.
– REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.
– REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.
Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?

Q111. Which requirement would be classified as a functional requirement within the design documentation?

Q112. Following a recent acquisition, the architect learns that both companies use vSphere on-premise and will need to combine the data centers into one. The acquired company’s licenses will not be renewed for cost-savings related to the acquisition. All consumed vSphere licenses must have active support to support line-of-business operations. The merged environment must maintain
25% spare capacity. The architect has a small budget remaining unallocated for hardware.
The architect has calculated that the current vSphere environment can absorb the acquired company’s virtual machines but the cluster will run at 90% memory utilization and at 50% CPU utilization.
Which design decision can the architect make to incorporate the new company’s virtual machines into the combined vSphere environment?

Q113. What does determining compliance requirements for a vSphere design involve?

Q114. During the troubleshooting process, a vSphere administrator identifies that a virtual machine has lost network connectivity.
Which log file should be checked on the ESXi host for network-related issues?

Q115. During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer provides the following requirement (REQ) and constraints (CON):
– REQ01: The customer is looking for a way to limit database virtual machine (VM) placement to save on CPU licensing costs.
– CON01: There is a single cluster with no budget to scale.
– CON02: All virtual machines must run on the consolidated cluster.
Which two design decisions should the architect make to meet the customer requirement- (Choose two.)

Q116. What do compliance requirements for a vSphere design entail?

Q117. 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?

Q118. The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) for an organization is concerned about the security posture of the operating system images that are used for the provisioning of their Software-as-a- Service (SaaS) applications. The organization is in a growth period. The organization is opening a new data center to launch its next phase of new SaaS-based solutions.
The DevOps team currently creates encrypted virtual machine (VM) templates that are used for various operating systems and adds these to the vSphere inventory. The DevOps team already uses a published content library and has been granted a role with the ability to add and delete library items.
The following requirements have been noted:
– Impacts to the DevOps team’s operational processes must be kept to a minimum.
– The DevOps team must be able to regularly check out a copy of the image for updates and check in a new version of the image.
– Images must be synchronized from the primary data center to the new data center.
Which three recommendations should the architect make to design a content library solution that will meet these requirements- (Choose three.)

Q119. What do risks in the context of design refer to?

Q120. A new real-time financial service application is being developed by the engineering team at a financial firm and will be released as a public Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) offering. The solutions architect has designed and deployed a new vSphere environment and the supporting network infrastructure for hosting all public services. ESXi hosts are configured to use Precision Time Proalhazi@1tocol (PTP) and a local stratum-1 network time server.
Application provisioning and scaling will be managed by VMware vRealize Automation and can be run on Microsoft Windows or multiple distributions of Linux.
Which three recommendations should the architect include in the design to ensure that the service maintain timekeeping within an accuracy of one second? (Choose three.)

Q121. An architect has 50 ESXi hosts to deploy and DHCP servers are not allowed on any network.
Which automated host deployment method should the architect use?

Q122. 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.)

Q123. An architect has 50 ESXi hosts to deploy and DHCP servers are not allowed on any network.
Which automated host deployment method should the architect use?

Q124. Which requirement focuses on the uninterrupted operation of the vSphere environment during disruptions?

Q125. Following a company merger, there are two data centers running vSphere environments. Both data centers are leveraging separate Layer 3 vMotion networks.
Which requirement must be met in order to enable vMotion migration between these locations?
