An architect is documenting the design for a new vSphere cluster. The customer provides the following information:All ESXi hosts will use hardware from the same vendorAll ESXi hosts will be monitored for hardware related issues using the vendor's monitoring toolingThe vendor's monitoring tooling provides a plugin for vCenter to allow the hardware status to be visibleThe customer also informs the architect of the following requirements:Workloads must be automatically relocated to other hosts in the event that a host hardware is marked as degraded.Workloads must be automatically restarted on other hosts in the event of a host failure. What should the architect include in the design to meet these requirements?

• vSphere HA will be enabled and set to Power off and Restart VMs in response to a host isolation. Proactive HA will be enabled with an Automation Level of Automated.
• vSphere HA will be enabled and set to Power off and Restart VMs in response to a host isolation. VM Monitoring will be enabled with a setting of VM Monitoring.
• vSphere HA will be enabled and set to restart VMs in response to a host failure. VM Monitoring will be enabled with a setting of VM and Application Monitoring. D.
• vSphere HA will be enabled and set to restart VMs in response to a host failure. Proactive HA will be enabled with an Automation Level of Automated.

An architect is designing the datastore configuration of a new vSphere-based solution. The following information was obtained during the initial meeting with the customer:There is currently 500 production and DMZ virtual machine workloads spread evenly across the primary and secondary site.The profile of the workloads (per site) is as follows:DMZ:-- 75 x Small: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 200 GB diskProduction:-- 50 x Small: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB disk-- 100 x Medium: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 200 GB disk-- 25 x Large: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB diskThe average IO Profile per workload is 70/30 read/write.The solution should cater to 10% storage growth in the first year.The solution should cater to 15% virtual machine snapshot overhead. The storage team has confirmed:A scalable external storage array has been deployed per site to support the storage requirements.The storage array will connect to all hosts using a dedicated Fibre Channel storage area network fabric.Usable storage capacity is available in 10 TB LUNs.As many LUNs as required can be provided.Every effort should be made to ensure the number of required LUNs is minimized.The security team has stated that all DMZ and production workloads must remain logically isolated from each other.Given the information provided, which three design decisions should the architect make to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)

• Six 10TB VMFS datastores will be configured on each site for all production workloads.
• Four 10TB VMFS datastores will be configured on each site for all production workloads.
• Each 10TB LUN will be configured as a VMFS datastore.
• Two 10TB VMFS datastores will be configured on each site for all DMZ workloads.
• Each 10TB LUN will be configured as an NFS datastore.
• Seven 10TB VMFS datastores will be configured on each site for all workloads.

An architect is working on the design documentation for a new vSphere solution. The architect has completed a conceptual model based on the following requirement:REQ001 – The solution must use shared storageWhat could the architect include in the logical design to meet this requirement?

• The use of an NFS mount point, including the IP address of the NFS server it is hosted on
• The use of an all flash vSAN datastore
• The use of an HCI solution for a datastore
• The use of File Based Storage, including the list of permissions applied to the share

An architect is working on the cluster layout design for a new vSphere solution. The resource requirements for the first cluster state that memory demand can experience spikes of up to 20% over the documented average demand during peak business hours and the cluster must be able to handle these spikes without contention.Which design quality is being referenced?

• Availability
• Performance
• Recoverability
• Manageability

Which four factors should an architect consider when calculating the number of hosts required for a new multi-site vSphere-based solution that utilizes external storage? (Choose four.)

• The workload profile (CPU and memory) of each workload
• The amount of resources required for virtual machine (VM) swap and VM snapshots
• The number of existinq workloads that will be decommissioned prior to the completion of project
• The number of existinq workloads that will be miqrated onto the new solution
• The number of network connections per physical host server
• The future physical location of any workloads
• The hardware specification of the underlying infrastructure

An architect is updating the design for a vSphere environment.During a workshop focused on security, the following has been identified:It has been determined that any configuration of ESXi hosts can only be completed via VMware vCenterThe Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) service must be disabled on ESXi hosts The SSH service must be disabled on ESXi hostsBased on the information from the workshop, which element does the architect need to include in the design?

• Strict Lockdown Mode
• Normal Lockdown Mode
• Normal Lockdown Mode with a defined Exception User list
• Strict Lockdown Mode with a defined Exception User list

What is an example of a performance design quality?

• The solution must scale to meet spikes in CPU demand.
• The solution must provide 40 physical CPU cores and 20 TB of physical memory.
• The solution must support applications with a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of four hours.
• The solution must support applications with 1,000 transactions per second (TPS).

An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The customer has provided the following information to describe how the solution will be used:The solution will host development workloadsAdministrators will utilize snapshots frequently, with snapshots sometimes retained for extended periods of timeSome of the workloads are sensitive to latency on the I/O of the storage Storage for the workloads will be provided by a physical arrayThe physical array does not include a storage providerAll workloads must be hosted on the solution, there are no other vSphere environments available for useWhich design decision should the architect make to meet the needs of the customer?

• Use a storage array which supports VMware vSphere APIs: Array Integration (VAAI) to configure VMFS datastores for the workloads
• On workloads which will use snapshots, set the latency-sensitivity=high advanced setting
• Use a storage array which supports vSphere Storage APIs - Storage Awareness (VASA) to configure Virtual Volumes (vVols) datastores for the workloads
• On workloads which are sensitive to latency, set the latency-sensitivity=high advanced setting

An architect is documenting the design decisions for a new vSphere solution. The following design decision has been made:Create a separate vSphere cluster for the management workloadsWhat could the architect include as justification for this design decision?

• This increases operational overhead as multiple clusters are required for management and compute workloads.
• This increases capital expenditure as hardware must be purchased for multiple clusters.
• This ensures that compute workloads have no impact on the management workloads.
• This ensures that compute workloads have no impact on the management workloads.

An architect is working on a new VMware vSphere design and notes the following information during interviews with stakeholders:The company has previously worked with multiple VMware partnersThe company has an internal security policy that is referenced in long running contracts The company has an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) with VMwareThe company has a multi-year cloud subscription agreement Which of these is a business factor that will impact this design?

• The company has previously worked with multiple VMware partners.
• The company has an Enterprise License Agreement (ELA) with VMware.
• The company has an internal security policy that is referenced in long running contracts.
• The company has a multi-year cloud subscription agreement.
