Question 61

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.)
  • Question 62

    A customer defines a requirement to minimize the vMotion migration time during a maintenance period. The servers being used are equipped with eight 1 GbE network adapters.
    Per the defined logical network configuration, there are two network adapters each used for:
    Management traffic
    vMotion traffic
    iSCSI traffic
    Virtual machine traffic
    Which design decision should the architect make to meet the customer requirement?
  • Question 63

    Application owners require support of a Microsoft Windows Server Failover Cluster (WSFC).
    Their current environment consists of the following components:
    vSphere 7.0 and vSAN 7.0
    External array supporting NFS 3.0/4.1, Server Message Block (SMB) 2.1
    10 GbE storage connectivity for all devices
    The solution architect is tasked with coming up with a solution to meet this requirement while utilizing their existing investments.
    Which two recommendations could the architect make? (Choose two.)
  • Question 64

    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 initially support the concurrent running of 300 production and 600 development virtual machines.
    * The production environment should be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers.
    * The development environment must be vSphere-based but does not have to be deployed on-premises.
    * The two data centers are connected to each other through multiple diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency links.
    * The customer's server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be based on blade architecture only.
    * 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, such as the monthly software patching and ad-hoc hardware break/fix.
    * All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service.
    * The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is four hours.
    * The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is 24 hours.
    Given the information from the customer, which two would be classified as assumptions within the design?
    (Choose two.)
