Drag and Drop

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.5 data center design for an organization. The organization has provided a number of requirements, resulting in a preliminary vSphere cluster design shown in the Scenario.

The organization has purchased additional servers configured with large amounts of resources (i.e. CPU, RAM) that could be integrated into the cluster design. Consider each vSphere cluster design and determine the benefit of adding

additional servers to the design.

Match the Action on the left by dragging the red buttons (A1-A3) over the text of the corresponding Effect. NOTE: Actions taken might have more than one Effect on the cluster design.

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.5 data center design for an organization. After interviewing key stakeholders and subject matter experts for a new implementation, it was determined that:

1.

Existing network infrastructure should be sufficient.

2.

HIPPA compliance must be maintained.

3.

Mission critical applications must be recoverable.

4.

Provide training to staff to ensure they can support the implementation.

5.

IT department capital investment has been agreed upon and approval is nearly complete.

For each statement, you must determine if the statement should be categorized as an assumption, constraint, requirement or risk. Match each Business Statement by dragging the red Statement buttons (S1-S5) over the text of the appropriate Categorization. NOTE: Statements can have more than one Categorization.

Select and Place:

A customer runs a vSphere cluster for hosted desktops with these capabilities:

1.

It allows end users to use any device to access the environment and to have access to all internal applications.

2.

The cluster hosts image-processing applications, and the images are processed during off hours.

3.

The architecture maximized the use of server hardware around the clock.

4.

The Active Directory default Group Policy for desktops is set to turn on the screensaver with animation after minutes of inactivity.

5.

The Active Directory default Group Policy is applied after a newly-deployed Window 10 desktop is joined to the Active Directory domain.

6.

The performance data show that during off hours, the virtual desktops are still consuming a significant number of CPU cycles.

Minimize the CPU cycles, what would be VMware's recommendation for screensaver usage in the virtual machine?

A. Replace Windows Animation with X-Server because it's a more efficient way of utilizing physical CPU cycles.

B. Adjust the Active Directory policy so that the screensaver is not using any sort of animation.

C. Keep the settings as they are enforced by Active Directory, because screensavers save GPU cycles on the ESXi host.

D. Screensavers don't affect CPU usage, so the customer must ask the users to avoid using desktops during off-hours because they are taking CPU cycles from the image-processing application.

E. Disable the screensaver when extra physical CPU cycles are consumed.

A customer is virtualizing a mission-critical Microsoft SQL database and needs a configuration that provides optimal NUMA performance.

1.

There are two possible clusters that the database virtual machine could reside in: Cluster A is vSphere 6.0 and Cluster B is vSphere 6.5.

2.

All ESXi hosts contain dual Intel Xeon E5-2650 v3 processors (ie: 2 socket, 10 cores per socket) and 256Gb RAM with vNUMA in its default configuration. Given this scenario, which three statements are true? (Choose three.)

A. Enabling CPU Hot Add on a virtual machine will disable vNUMA.

B. Placing a 10 vCPU VM in Cluster A and configuring it with 2 Sockets and 5 Cores Per Socket will result in 2 vNUMA nodes.

C. Placing a 10 vCPU VM in Cluster B and configuring it with 2 Sockets and 5 Cores Per Socket will result in 2 vNUMA nodes.

D. Enabling Memory Hot Add on a virtual machine will disable vNUMA.

E. Placing the VM in Cluster B and configuring it with 5 Sockets and 2 Cores Per Socket will result in 1 vNUMA node.

A customer has requested that a new vSphere 6.5 environment be designed with its upcoming data center consolidation effort in mind.

1.

The existing environment is a mix of physical and virtual servers

2.

Fibre Channel storage is used for 100 vSphere ESXi hosts and 600 physical servers across three data centers, some of which contain latency sensitive applications critical to ongoing business

3.

The customer expects to increase its virtualization ratio from 50% today to 90% at the conclusion of this effort, and wants the new design to feature a software-defined storage solution that will decrease their TCO. Which two statements are the business requirements in this scenario? (Choose two.)

A. The design must include VMware vSAN as the primary storage solution

B. The design must account for business-critical applications

C. The design must increase virtualization adoption

D. The design must reuse wherever possible to reduce cost
