NO.26 An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.
The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.
The development cluster host configuration is:
* 4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores
* 512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
* There is no resource contention
The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:
* 8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores
* 256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
* There is no resource contention
The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster.
Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.
What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?

Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

NO.29 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?

NO.30 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.)

NO.31 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?

NO.32 An architect is designing a solution based on the following information:
Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.
Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?

NO.33 An architect is reviewing a physical storage design. The customer has specified that a new active-passive based storage array will be used to provide storage for the vSphere clusters.
Which configuration should for the architect recommended?

NO.34 A architect is designing a new VMware software-designed data center (SDDC) using vSphere 7 to meet the following requirements:
The SDDC must be deployed at two locations: primary and secondary.
vSphere Replication must be used to replicate virtual machines between the two locations.
Site Recovery Manager must be used to orchestrate disaster recovery (DR) activities.
One single-sign on (SSO) domain must be used to authenticate access at both locations.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

NO.35 Which requirement would be classified as a functional requirement within the application design documentation?

NO.36 A customer requests a review of its current vSphere platform design.
The following information is noted:
There are three different workload profiles for the virtual machines:
Tier-1 virtual machines operate resource-intensive applications and require dedicated allocations for CPU and RAM.
Tier-2 virtual machines operate internet-facing applications and require access to externally facing networks.
Tier-3 virtual machines operate platform management tools such as vCenter Server and have different lifecycle management requirements.
Tier-1, Tier-2 and Tier-3 virtual machines are all hosted on a single large vSphere cluster.
The Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) has raised concerns that hosting externally facing applications alongside management tools does not meet internal compliance standards.
The Operations team has raised concerns about Tier-1 virtual machines negatively impacting the performance of vCenter Server.
The Operations lead has stated that management changes have consistently been rejected by application teams.
As a result of the review, which recommendation should the architect make regarding the design of this platform?

NO.37 An architect is designing an environment for a retail customer. The design will use a single small vCenter Server Appliance and a cluster of eight ESXi hosts at a remote site. There is a single 10 GbE connected network at the remote site to support all management services. It is not possible to create additional management networks at the remote site. Virtual machine backups at the site will be dependent on the vCenter Server being available.
Which design decision should the architect make to maximize availability for backups?

NO.38 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 Protocol (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.)

NO.39 An architect will be taking over control of a former Linux server fleet and repurposing the hardware into a new vSphere cluster. The current environment is already connected to the network but the hosts do not have any local disks. Since the fleet hardware is uniform, the architect can use a single ESXi image. All hosts within the cluster have the same CPU and memory capacity.
Which ESXi deployment method should the architect use?
