3V0-21.21 Architect Practice Questions

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.)

Select 2 answers.

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

Refer to the exhibit. During a requirements gathering workshop, a customer shares the following diagram regarding their availability service-level agreements (SLAs): The customer states that there is no application level availability for legacy applications. Which recommendation could the architect make to meet the customer’s high availability requirements for the legacy applications virtual machines?

• AA. Enable vSphere HA and add a VM Override with VM Restart Priority set to Disabled
• BB. Enable Fault Tolerance
• CC. Achieve application availability with snapshots
• DD. Enable vSphere HA and add a VM Override with VM Restart Priority set to Lowest

An architect is designing an environment for a retail customer. The design will use a single small vCenter Server Appliance and a cluster of eight ESXi hosts at a remote site. There is a single 10 GbE connected network at the remote site to support all management services. It is not possible to create additional management networks at the remote site. Virtual machine backups at the site will be dependent on the vCenter Server being available. Which design decision should the architect make to maximize availability for backups?

• AA. vCenter Server High Availability will be configured.
• BB. The vCenter Server Appliance will be protected with vSphere Fault Tolerance.
• CC. The cluster will be configured to use vSphere DRS in fully automated mode.
• DD. The cluster will be configured with vSphere HA and set to restart virtual machines based on guest operating system heartbeat monitoring.

The Chief Operating Officer (COO) at an organization raises concerns that their virtual infrastructure environment is vulnerable. Recently, a security-related issue with a virtual machine caused all management services to become unavailable. No budget is available in the short term for additional platform investment. An architect is asked to review the current environment and make recommendations to mitigate concerns. A virtualization administrator has provided the following details: There is a single four node cluster of ESXi servers There are two, Layer 2, physical network switches connecting resources The data center network is presented as a single /16 subnet Given the information provided, which functional requirement should the architect include in the design to mitigate the COOs concerns?

• AA. The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to new physical network switches
• BB. The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to separate distributed virtual switches (DVS)
• CC. The virtual infrastructure environment must connect application virtual machines and management services to separate VLANs
• DD. The virtual infrastructure environment must connect management services to a vSphere standard switch (VSS)

An architect is considering placement of virtual machines within an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC). During the discovery phase, the following information is documented: Which two recommendations should the architect make for placement of the virtual machines to meet resource profile requirements? (Choose two.)

Select 2 answers.

• AA. All virtual machines matching Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2 should be placed on Cluster One.
• BB. All virtual machines matching Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1 should be placed on Cluster One.
• CC. All virtual machines matching Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2 should be placed on Cluster Two.
• DD. All virtual machines matching Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1 should be placed on Cluster Two.
• EE. All virtual machines matching Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2 should be placed on Cluster Three.
