An architect is finalizing the design for a new vSphere platform based on the following information:
All Windows virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes.
All Linux virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster for licensing purposes. All management virtual machines will be hosted on a dedicated cluster.
A total of ten physical sites will be used to host virtual machines.
In the event of one physical datacenter becoming unavailable, the manageability of the virtual infrastructure in the remaining data centers should not be impacted.
Access to configure the management virtual machines via vCenter Server must be controlled through the management Active Directory domain.
Access to configure the Windows and Linux virtual machines must be controlled through the resource Active Directory domain.
The management and resource Active Directory domains are part of separate Active Directory forests and do not have any trusts between them.
The design will use Active Directory with Integrated Windows Authentication.
How should the architect document the vCenter Server configuration for this design?

• A. Deploy a vCenter server for the management cluster.
  Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters. Create a shared SSO domain for each physical site.
• B. Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster with a dedicated SSO domain.
  Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters and use a dedicated SSO domain into a single physical site.
• C. Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster.
  Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters.
  Create a shared SSO domain across all physical sites.
• D. Deploy a vCenter Server for the management cluster with a dedicated SSO domain.
  Deploy a vCenter Server for all remaining clusters and use a dedicated SSO domain for each physical site.

An architect is tasked with designing a greenfield VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) solution that will be used to deliver a private cloud service for a customer.
During the initial meeting with the service owner and business sponsor, the customer has provided the following information to help inform the design:
The solution must support the concurrent running of 1,000 virtual machines The production environment must be delivered across two geographically dispersed data centers All virtual machines must be capable of running in either data center.
The two data centers are currently connected to each other through a single but diversely routed, high bandwidth and low latency link.
The link between the two data centers is capable of supporting a round-trip time (RTT) of 150 ms The existing server hardware standard document states that all virtual infrastructure hosts must be deployed using vSAN ReadyNodes The service owner has stated that it is critical to ensure the availability target of 99.9% All virtual machine backups must be completed using the existing backup service The recovery time objective (RTO) for the service is five minutes The recovery point objective (RPO) of the service is four hours Which two elements represent risks to the successful delivery of this solution? (Choose two.)

• A. The network connectivity between data center sites
• B. The use of the existing backup service
• C. The use of only two data centers
• D. The use of vSAN ReadyNodes
• E. The RTT on the link between the two data centers

An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.
The existing design has the following requirements:
REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.
REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.
REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.
REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.
Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?

• A. Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters
• B. Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled
• C. The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure
• D. The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour

The storage team at an organization is planning to migrate from an older Fibre Channel storage environment to a new environment using IP-based storage.
Which two switch features or characteristics are appropriate for IP storage networks? (Choose two.)

• A. Deep or ultra buffered switches
• B. Fabric extending devices
• C. Non-blocking switch
• D. 2:1 or greater bandwidth oversubscription for 10 GbE switches
• E. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
