NEW QUESTION 2
An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) using VMware vSAN. The architect uses a storage assessment tool to determine the storage requirements for the new vSAN cluster. The new SDDC is going to be deployed into the existing data center and must be connected to a shared core network switch.
The architect decides to use vSAN ReadyNodes with the following configuration:
Two disk groups with:
Write Intensive NVMe 800 GB drive for cache
Four 3.84 TB Mixed Use NVMe for capacity
Four 10 GbE ports
Which element represents a risk that should be included in this design?

• A. The number of 10 GbE capable ports in the vSAN ReadyNode
• B. The use of vSAN ReadyNodes
• C. The existing network is 10 GbE capable
• D. The use of NVMe drives for cache and capacity

Answer: C

NEW QUESTION 3

Which operations mode should a RAID controller support to minimize potential server downtime during physical disk failures?

• A. RAID controller with Passthru mode
• B. RAID controller with RAID 5 mode
• C. RAID controller with RAID 10 mode
• D. RAID controller with RAID 6 mode

Answer: D

NEW QUESTION 4
An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards. What is the impact of this design decision?

• A. Host profiles must be used for this kind of installation
• B. Scratch partition would need to be created on the external storage
• C. The size of the SD cards is too small and the installation will fail
• D. The vSphere Auto Deploy feature must be enabled on vCenter Server

Answer: B

Explanation:
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2074026 You can store coredumps on the SD boot media, but refrain from configuring the scratch partition here as the logs are write intensive and can cause the SD card to fail faster resulting in re-installation of ESXi

NEW QUESTION 12
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.

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.
