Q3. A company is in the process of deploying a modern video-streaming application.

u2022 The application is able to scale (expand and collapse) its steaming nodes in the form of CentOS 7.x 64bit virtual machines, based on demand.

u2022 This IO-Intensive application has a high CPU demand and generates a significant number of disk operations (IOPS).

u2022 To host the application, the company decided to implement a brand-new VMware cluster with vSphere 6.x

u2022 The company would like a significant reduction in CPU utilization as well as a possible increase in throughput.

Which virtual disk adapter should be recommended for the company's physical design?

A. LSI Logic Parallel

B. VMware Paravirtual

C. BusLogic Parallel

D. LSI Logic SAS

Q4. When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released?

A. Introduce a policy that requires a system administrator to check if a new appliance update (which might include an OS update) is available from the downloads section of MyVMware portal, and follow the VCSA documentation to apply the update.

B. Do nothing - the VCSA applies all OS updates automatically without any human interaction.

C. Introduce a policy that requires a system administrator to go online and check with the OS vendor to see if a new version is available. If it is, download it manually, log in to the VCSA with the root credentials, and proceed with the OS update.

D. Configure VMware Update Manager to download the OS update and apply it on a scheduled basis.

Q5. A solutions architect has made the following design decisions:

u2022 Leverage existing hardware that is certified on earlier versions of vSphere but is NOT on HCL for ESXi 6.5.

u2022 Upgrade vCenter Server to version 6.5.

u2022 Configure separate clusters based on ESXi versions 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 for newly purchased, certified hardware.

u2022 The underlying CPU family is compatible.

u2022 There is enough resources available to vMotion virtual machines (VMs)

Given this scenario, what is the correct statement about the ability to vMotion virtual machines between versions of ESXi?

A. VMs created in vSphere 5.x must be upgraded first to newer virtual hardware and then be vMotioned to vSphere 6.x.

B. VMs created in vSphere 6.x environment with default settings can be moved to ESXi 5.x.

C. VMs can be vMotioned to the same or newer version of ESXi.

D. VMs that are created after the vCenter Server 6.5 upgrade can be vMotioned between any supported versions of ESXi.

Q6. A company is outsourcing its support operations to an external service provider and plans to complete the project by April 1.

u2022 The external Support engineers must have the ability to power cycle, create, and edit virtual machines settings within their assigned vSphere site.

u2022 The company maintains three vCenter servers in Enhanced Linked Mode that are run as virtual machines in the supported infrastructure.

u2022 The vCenter servers will be supposed by the external service provider.

u2022 Each vCenter server is connected to its own local Platform Services Controller and MSSQL database server.

u2022 The company will provide escalation support and physical access on a per request basis.

u2022 99.9% ESXi host uptime is required in this environment, but no SLA has been specified for the hosted applications.

Drag each statement to its appropriate concept.

Q7. A developer is tasked with building an application to process shipping requests. The developer is consulting the vSphere team to determine failover options and performance best practices.

u2022 The development team is providing three physical ESXi hosts with 8 CPU cores and 256G8 of RAM per host.

u2022 The developer does NOT know how many virtual machines they will require.

Which virtual machine (VM) sizing strategy will provide the highest level of uptime, individual VM performance, and failover capacity?

A. A few large 8 vCPU VMs per host protected by vSphere HA.

B. Many small 1 vCPU VMs participating in an OS level clustered application protected by vSphere HA.

C. A few large 8 vCPU VMs per host protected by vSphere Fault Tolerance.

D. Many small l vCPU VMs participating in an OS level clustered application protected by vSphere Fault Tolerance.

Q8. Categorize the tools as providing either Availability or Recoverability.

Q9. The hardware operations team is planning to purchase new ESXi hosts for the upcoming budget year and is requesting recommendations on the type of servers to purchase for a web application. The web application consists of hundreds of small virtual machines (1 vCPU and 8GB of RAM) that are members of a software cluster.

The solution should have these abilities:

u2022 recover from ESXi host hardware failures

u2022 zero downtime for a limited number of critical virtual machines (VMs)

u2022 migrate running VMs between ESXi hosts without interruption to the operating system

u2022 perform these functions using VMware ESXi servers, vCenter Server, and high-speed network interfaces What are the three functional requirements and their associated VMware technologies? (Choose three.)

A. automatic restarts of failed VMs (vSphere HA)

B. high speed network interfaces (vSphere Distributed Switches)

C. ability to migrate running VMs (vSphere vMotion)

D. fault tolerance for limited number of critical VMs (vSphere FT)

E. VMware ESXi Servers (vSphere Auto Deploy)

Q10. An architect is designing a vSphere 6.5 implementation.

u2022 The customer requires Cross vCenter vMotion for the newly-created data centers in New York and Houston.

u2022 Each data center will use different IP networks for management and vMotion.

When creating a vMotion network, which two statements are required in order to use Cross vCenter Server vMotion? (Choose two.)

A. vMotion Networks in both data centers must be in the same L2 stretched VLAN.

B. The virtual machine port groups must use the same name.

C. VMkernel port for vMotion must be configured with vMotion TCP/IP Stack with the correct gateway.

D. vMotion networks in both data centers must be routable over L3 network.
