An architect is designing a solution for an environment with two types of resource profiles that must be virtualized. The first type consists of Tier 1 virtual machines that are disk I/O intensive, but do NOT require high CPU or memory. The second type consists of Tier 2 virtual machines that require a lower CPU and memory allocation and have minimal disk I/O.
Which design recommendation should the architect make for distributing the resource profiles?
Checked in the training manual, chapter 10 Infrastructure Manageability: When mention about tiers... always talks about DIFFERENT CLUSTERS. Vmware suggest this in order to calculate spare hosts, cpu contention, disk performance, etc. In this case B and D should be disregarded, you should not mix Tier 1 and 2 in the same cluster.
An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:
The environment must support 5,000 virtual machines.
The environment will be built initially using 350 hosts.
Which vCenter Server appliance deployment size should the architect specify for the design?
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.)
B) The backup service has sufficient capacity for the new requirements
'All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service.'
The existing backup service may not have capacity or compatabiltiy for the new SDDC
E) The clusters will have a minimum redundancy of N+1
'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'
We assume N+1 is sufficient. They may require a higher level of redundancy.
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.)
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?
