VMware 3V0-21.21 Value Pack (Frequently Bought Together)

An architect will be taking over control of a former Linux server fleet and repurposing the hardware into a new vSphere cluster. The current environment is already connected to the network but the hosts do not have any local disks. Since the fleet hardware is uniform, the architect can use a single ESXi image. All hosts within the cluster have the same CPU and memory capacity.
Which ESXi deployment method should the architect use?

• A. Stateless cached vSphere Auto Deploy
• B. Stateful vSphere Auto Deploy
• C. Manual install of each ESXi host with an image from USB
• D. Stateless vSphere Auto Deploy

During a transformation project kick-off meeting, an architect highlights specific areas on which to focus while developing the new conceptual design.
Which two of the listed statements are business requirements? (Choose two.)

• A. The project should use the existing storage devices within the data center
• B. Sites must support a network latency of less than 12 ms round-trip time (RTT)
• C. The solution must allow data replication between sites
• D. There is no budget specifically assigned for disaster recovery
• E. There must not be a single point of failure for the virtual infrastructure

An architect is designing a series of new vSphere environments for an organization. The environments will be deployed in their US-East and US-West region data centers. Each data center may have one or more dedicated vSphere environments. Only the vSphere environments within a data center will be configured with Enhanced Linked Mode. The Chief Technology Officer (CTO) has authorized the use of VMware vRealize Automation Cloud for automation. The build team creates standardized virtual machine images for various operating systems in Open Virtualization Format (OVF) and publishes the latest version on an as-needed basis to an internal HTTPS-accessible repository.
The architect must design a content library topology that meets the following requirements:
A localized content library must be available in each data center.
Each content library must be updated when an image is updated and released by the build team.
The cloud automation platform must be able to consume the latest approved content library images.
It must leverage the existing build team processes.
What should the architect recommend to meet the requirements?

• A. Work with the build team to automate a JSON-based manifest to the repository when changes occur in the repository.
  Create a subscribed content library for each vSphere environment.
  Configure the content library to download content automatically.
• B. Create a local content library for the primary vSphere environment in each data center.
  Create a subscribed content library for each additional vSphere environment in each data center.
  Configure the content library to download content automatically.
• C. Work with the build team to create a local content library for each vSphere environment.
  Import the OVF images when new image are published to the repository.
• D. Work with the build team to automate a JSON-based manifest to the repository when changes occur in the repository.
  Create a subscribed content library for each vSphere environment.
  Configure the content library to download content when needed.

An architect is designing a new vSphere platform for a customer to meet the following requirements:
The platform must be deployed into five physically separate sites.
The sites are spread across multiple regions.
Some sites require more than one vCenter Server.
The platform must provide an administrator with the ability to access virtual infrastructure components across all sites from a single management tool instance.
Which single sign-on (SSO) design recommendation will meet these requirements?

• A. Use an SSO domain per region
• B. Use an SSO domain across all vCenter Server instances
• C. Use an SSO domain per vCenter Server instance
• D. Use an SSO domain per site

An architect is tasked with designing a new VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution for an online retail customer who has a primary and secondary data center as well as 10 distribution hubs.
The customer has provided the following business requirements to help inform the design:
The solution must support the running of up to 1,000 concurrent virtual machines across the primary and secondary data center.
The solution must support the running of up to 20 concurrent virtual machines in each distribution hub.
The solution must support the separation of management and lines-of-business application virtual machines.
All management components (including directory services, backup, automation, operations and logging) must be deployed to the primary data center.
All virtual infrastructure components must have redundancy of N+1.
All sites are connected to each other using a wide area network that has multiple diversely routed links.
The solution should support a monthly uptime target of 99.9%.
The recovery time objective (RTO) for the solution must be four hours.
The recovery point objective (RPO) for the solution must be 24 hours.
Given the information from the customer, which assumption should the architect include in the design?

• A. The wide area network has sufficient bandwidth to support centralized management.
• B. Each cluster will have a minimum of four hosts.
• C. All business application virtual machines can be deployed into a single cluster within the primary data center.
• D. Each distribution hub should be configured with a backup device.
