Question 36

An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:
All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.
All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster.
A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines.
In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virtual infrastructure in the remaining data centers should not be impacted.
Access to configure the management virtual machines via vCenter Server must be controlled through the management Active Directory domain.
Access to configure the Windows and Linux virtual machines must be controlled through the resource Active Directory domain.
The management and resource Active Directory domains are part of separate Active Directory forests and do not have any trusts between them.
The design will use Active Directory with Integrated Windows Authentication.
How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?
  • Question 37

    Which design decision must be included in a design to allow for the deployment of a minimum supported configuration of vCenter High Availability (HA)?
  • Question 38

    Refer to the exhibit.
    During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer shares the following diagram regarding their availability service-level agreements (SLAs):

    The customer wants database application level availability to always take precedence. What should the architect recommend to meet the customer's requirement?
  • Question 39

    An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution for an online retail customer who has a primary and secondary data center as well as 10 distribution hubs.
    The customer has provided the following business requirements to help inform the design:
    The solution must support the running of up to 1,000 concurrent virtual machines across the primary and secondary data center.
    The solution must support the running of up to 20 concurrent virtual machines in each distribution hub.
    The solution must support the separation of management and lines-of-business application virtual machines.
    All management components (including directory services, backup, automation, operations and logging) must be deployed to the primary data center.
    All virtual infrastructure components must have redundancy of N+1.
    All sites are connected to each other using a wide area network that has multiple diversely routed links.
    The solution should support a monthly uptime target of 99.9%.
    The recovery time objective (RTO) for the solution must be four hours.
    The recovery point objective (RPO) for the solution must be 24 hours.
    Given the information from the customer, which assumption should the architect include in the design?
  • Question 40

    An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer and learns that the customer has:
    A single vSphere cluster
    Two storage arrays with different RAID capabilities
    Which two design decisions should the architect make to maximize data availability and data performance for this customer? (Choose two.)
