You have been asked to design a virtual machine for a new application developed in-house. The application will be load tested before it is finally made production ready. The application developers have created documentation based on data flow and entity dependency. The functionality of the application is critical to the business for a defined project with a client base of a maximum of 12,000 users. Which of the following scaling approaches would best suit this scenario?
A. Predictive
B. Adaptive
You are a virtualization consultant at a company that develops its own inhouse website trading systems. The new website will be deployed in a vSphere 5 platform, which consists of two clusters and four ESXi hosts (one for each project--the SDLC hosts--for all levels of testing and development prior to production deployment). The production cluster has been configured for fully automated DRS and VMware HA. During the SDLC, the website platform was developed on a single development ESXi host inside a single VLAN. The system was successfully tested within the SDLC ESXi hosts and then deployed to the production cluster in a single vApp and a single VLAN. Following a successful midweek, the new application starts to show signs of latency. Suddenly several applications across the cluster are being impacted by network latency issues. Metrics are collected and show that the amount of network traffic between the database and application servers of the new website platform are at 96% utilization on the physical switch links between ESXi hosts in the production cluster. What should you do?
A. Recommend that the website platform be fixed and removed from the production system.
B. Create a DRS affinity rule to ensure that the database and applications servers stay on the same ESXi host and do not traverse the physical network when communicating.
C. Configure Network I/O Control to ensure that the network latency is alleviated between the database and applications servers.
A host has three dual-port network cards. What is the maximum number of vSwitches that can be integrated with the physical network, assuming that network redundancy is not a requirement?
A. 3
B. 6
C. 256
D. 512
As a platform designer, you have been asked to create a design for a vSphere 5 platform. Based on existing capacity state analysis, the platform will require 30 hosts and 250 guest VMs. Due to an existing vendor relationship with the enterprise, the preferred database for all datacenter systems is Microsoft SQL 2008. Which of the following vCenter deployments can be used based on this constraint?
A. VCSA with a remote Microsoft SQL 2008 database
B. Windows-based vCenter with a local Microsoft SQL 2008 database
C. VCSA with an embedded Microsoft database
D. Any of the above would meet the requirements.
You are the VMware consultant at a large enterprise. A senior manager is in charge of a project that needs new infrastructure for its application. The application will be used by 3,200 users. Three virtual machines are requested via the help
desk. One of the three is a virtual machine with 32 vCPUs allocated for processing. The notes of the request say that the large number of vCPUs (the company template is 2 vCPUs) is justified by the senior manager. The notes also reference
the following details from the application manual:
For every 100 users in the workload, the processing tier of the application requires one agent handler service.
Each agent handler requires one single-core CPU.
Which of the following should the VMware consultant do next?
A. Configure the 32-vCPU box as requested and talk to the users during the rest of the project to understand the application as much as possible for ease of support and to understand the impact.
B. Create a proof of concept server with 2 vCPUs and engage with the user/application vendor to understand actual resources required for the company workload and support requirements. Suggest other deployment strategies, such as scaling out the processing tier with a lower number of vCPUs per guest virtual machine but more virtual machines within the tier.
C. Deny the virtual machine request and suggest that the processing tier be physical.
According to HA best practices, which of the following admission control policies is most appropriate for a cluster of hosts with virtual machines of very different memory and CPU reservations?
A. CPU and Memory % Configuration
B. Number of Hosts Tolerate
C. Failover Host
A requirement in a server consolidation project states: "The consolidation ratio must be as high as possible." This has resulted in a lower number of larger-capacity hosts in the vSphere HA cluster. Which of the following is true?
A. The restart time of a VM could be greater than when using smaller hosts.
B. The restart time of a VM could be lower than when using smaller hosts.
A platform has an RPO of 4 hours. The platform crashes at 2 p.m. Which of the following is correct?
A. The platform must be ready for users to access by 6 p.m., with data versions from at least from 10 a.m.
B. The platform must be ready for users ASAP, with data versions from at least 10 a.m.
C. The platform must be ready for users to access by 6 p.m., and the data age is unknown from the RTO.
A multitier website has an RTO of 4 hours and an RPO of 15 minutes. The database crashes at 5
A. m. and causes the website to be unavailable. Which of the following is true? (Select all that apply.)
B. The website must be restored by 5:15 p.m.
C. The website must be restored by 9 p.m.
D. At restore time, the data must be correct from at least from 4:45 p.m.
E. At restore time, the data must be from at least 1 p.m.
Which of the following can a gap state analysis help achieve?
A. The vision
B. The logical design
C. A list of best practices
