VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (3V0-21.23) Free Practice Test

Question 1

An architect is responsible for designing a vSphere-based solution for a customer. The customer has the following requirements:
The solution must provide redundancy and load balancing for storage traffic The solution must tolerate at least one failure There must be no single point of failure in the solution Which three considerations regarding physical host design should the architect analyze when making storage related design decisions? (Choose three.)

A. Configure the fixed multi-pathing policy on the ESXi hosts

B. Use four single port storage host bus adapters (HBAs) in each ESXi host

C. Configure a minimum of four paths to every LUN or datastore

D. Use one quad-port storage host bus adapter (HBA) in each ESXi host

E. Configure a minimum of two paths to every LUN or datastore

F. Use an active-active array for Fibre Channel storage-based VMFS datastores

Question 2

An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer has stated that some of the virtual machines (VMs) that will be hosted on the new solution handle credit card information from their users as part of an online payment application, and that some of the information will need to be stored temporarily to allow transactions to be completed. Therefore, the solution must be designed to be able to mask or hash the stored information as they will need to show compliance against common industry standards that contain references to the requirements for handling sensitive information.
Which design quality is being requested by the customer?

A. Recoverability

B. Manageability

C. Security

D. Performance

Question 3

An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The customer has provided the following information to describe how the solution will be used:
The solution will host development workloads
Administrators will utilize snapshots frequently, with snapshots sometimes retained for extended periods of time Some of the workloads are sensitive to latency on the I/O of the storage Storage for the workloads will be provided by a physical array The physical array does not include a storage provider All workloads must be hosted on the solution, there are no other vSphere environments available for use Which design decision should the architect make to meet the needs of the customer?

A. Use a storage array which supports VMware vSphere APIs: Array Integration (VAAI) to configure VMFS datastores for the workloads

B. Use a storage array which supports vSphere Storage APIs - Storage Awareness (VASA) to configure Virtual Volumes (vVols) datastores for the workloads

C. On workloads which will use snapshots, set the latency-sensitivity=high advanced setting

D. On workloads which are sensitive to latency, set the latency-sensitivity=high advanced setting

Correct Answer: B

Question 4

An architect is working with stakeholders to define requirements for architecting a new VMware vSphere design.
What are two strategies for engaging with stakeholders to achieve this goal? (Choose two.)

A. The architect conducts workshops with the virtualization technical team to gather deployment justifications.

B. The architect conducts workshops and interviews limited to those stakeholders identified in the assessment phase of the project.

C. The architect conducts interviews focusing on business requirements to build the architectural business case.

D. The architect conducts multiple rounds of interviews with stakeholders, iteratively refining requirements.

E. The architect conducts workshops with stakeholders to gather business and technical requirements.

Question 5

An architect is documenting the design decisions for a new vSphere solution. The following design decision has been made:
Create a separate vSphere cluster for the management workloads
What could the architect include as justification for this design decision?

A. This ensures that compute workloads have no impact on the management workloads.

B. This increases capital expenditure as hardware must be purchased for multiple clusters.

C. This increases operational overhead as multiple clusters are required for management and compute workloads.

D. This ensures that compute workloads have no impact on the management workloads.

Question 6

An architect is tasked with creating a design for a vSphere-based solution.
Reviewing requirements with the security team, the architect makes the following design decision:
ESXi hosts in the environment will enable shell sandbox for SSH connections and the local ESXi shell What is an implication of the design decision to enable shell sandboxing?

A. All commands executed in the sandbox shell will be logged

B. Only certain commands can be executed in the sandboxed shell

C. The vSphere 8 hosts will operate in strict lockdown mode

D. Only administrative accounts can access the sandbox shell

An architect is reviewing the information provided by a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer requests that the solution use multiple network connections for the ESXi management network to increase resilience.

A. Recoverability

B. Availability

C. Manageability

D. Performance

Question 8

An architect is designing a backup solution.
Which two statements should be included in the logical design for this solution? (Choose two.)

A. The database will be backed up using an API-based backup solution.

B. The company's existing backup solution will be unsupported by the third-party vendor in six months.

C. The bkp-nfs-01 datastore will be used for backups.

D. The network that will be used for backups will be configured to use VLAN ID 1511.

E. The database must be backed up even/ day during the maintenance window of 1:00AM and 3:00AM.

Question 9

An architect is holding a requirements workshop with a customer for a new vSphere solution design. The customer states that the solution should make it easy to identify and apply patches or updates to ESXi hosts, including the ability to pre-stage the files on the ESXi hosts.
Which design quality is being referenced by the customer?

A. Recoverability

B. Availability

C. Manageability

D. Performance

REQ001 - Reduce operational expenditure
Which design decision could the architect include in the logical design to satisfy this requirement?

A. Use vSphere Standard licenses on all clusters.

B. Use an N + 1 design to define the required capacity on all clusters.

C. Use heterogeneous hardware for the hosts in all clusters.

D. Use vSphere Lifecycle Manager on all clusters.
