VMware VMware Certifications 5V0-21.21 Questions & Answers

  • Question 11:

    A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1. The company

    wants to ensure that the same vSAN process can be used in the future.

    During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:

    The vCenter Server is currently version 7.0.

    The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:

    -vSAN version: 7.0

    -Number of vSAN nodes: 6

    -Encryption: enabled

    -Deduplication and Compression: enabled

    -Fault Domains: 1

    -vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60% Each vSAN node has the following configuration:

    -ESXi version: VMware vSphere 7.0

    -CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores

    -RAM: 1024GB RAM.

    -Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs

    -Network: 4 x 10GbE All current hardware (which is from a single vendor) is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide for vSAN 7.

    Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure that the vSAN cluster upgrade is completed? (Choose three.)

    A. Upgrade all vSAN nodes to VMware vSphere 7.0 U1 using the baselines capability within VMware Update Manager (VUM).

    B. Disable vSAN Encryption before starting the upgrade process.

    C. Upgrade all vSAN nodes to VMware vSphere 7.0 U1 using the images capability within VMware Update Manager (VUM).

    D. Set VMware Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) to partially automated.

    E. Upgrade to VMware vCenter Server 7.0 U1.

    F. Choose the Allow reduced redundancy option.

  • Question 12:

    During a planning session for new vSAN clusters in multiple data centers, the customer relayed the following information:

    Highest possible mitigation during a host failure in terms of capacity. A constraint in this year's IT budget.

    What should the architect recommend?

    A. Enable operations reserve. A minimum cluster of 3 vSAN nodes.

    B. Enable host build reserve. A minimum cluster of 4 vSAN nodes.

    C. Enable performance services. A minimum cluster of 6 vSAN nodes.

    D. Enable IOInsight Metrics. A minimum cluster of 2 vSAN ROBO nodes.

  • Question 13:

    A company has engaged a consultant to upgrade an existing vSAN cluster to vSAN 7.0 U1.

    During the discovery phase, the consultant found the following information about the existing environment:

    The VMware vCenter Server has recently been upgraded from VMware vSphere 6.7 U3 to version 7.0 U1.

    The vSAN Cluster was recently expanded with identical hardware specification, but from a different hardware vendor.

    The hardware for each vSAN node is listed on the vSAN Compatibility Guide (VCG) for vSAN 7.

    The vSAN Cluster has the following configuration:

    -vSAN version: 6.6.1

    -Number of vSAN nodes: 10

    -Encryption: enabled

    -Deduplication and Compression: enabled

    -vSAN Capacity Utilization: 60%

    Each vSAN node has the following configuration:

    -VMware vSphere ESXi version: 6.5 Update 3

    -CPU: 2 processors, 20 cores

    -RAM: 768GB RAM.

    -Disk: 2 Cache SSDs and 6 Capacity SSDs

    -Network: 4 x 10GbE

    Which three recommendations should the consultant make to ensure all data remains protected in the event of a vSAN failure? (Choose three.)

    A. The Full data migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.

    B. The Ensure accessibility, migration maintenance mode option must be chosen to protect the data during the upgrade.

    C. The upgrade process should be completed using host upgrade baselines in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).

    D. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 7.0 U1.

    E. The upgrade process should be completed using images in VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM).

    F. The vSAN nodes should be upgraded to vSphere ESXi 6.7 U3.

  • Question 14:

    A customer is planning to migrate their physical Microsoft SQL Server clustered workloads to vSAN enabled vSphere clusters.
