An organization is implementing a downtime avoidance solution and wants to ensure continuous availability of applications across separate sites that are connected via a high bandwidth/low latency link.
Which two VMware Cloud Foundation components support this capability with stretched clusters? (Choose two.)
Answer : A, B
vSAN: vSAN supports stretched clusters, allowing data to be mirrored across multiple sites to ensure continuous availability and enable high availability for virtual machines in case of a site failure.
vSphere: vSphere also supports stretched clusters, enabling the high availability of applications across multiple sites by allowing virtual machines to be run on either site in the event of a failure.
An administrator successfully removed a host from a VMware vSphere cluster and decommissioned it in SDDC Manager.
What must be done before the host can be recommissioned and added back to the SDDC Manager inventory?
Answer : A
Before the host can be recommissioned and added back to the SDDC Manager inventory, you must reset the system configuration. This can be done from the ESXi Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) by selecting the 'Reset System Configuration' option. This will remove any previous configuration and allow the host to be re-added to the environment.
What is the primary purpose of configuring a Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) in a vSphere environment?
Answer : B
A Virtual Distributed Switch (VDS) in a vSphere environment enables centralized management of network configurations across multiple ESXi hosts. It simplifies network administration by allowing the administrator to configure network settings, such as VLANs, port groups, and policies, for multiple hosts at once, ensuring consistency and scalability.
An alert in SDDC Manager indicates that the health status of the vSAN cluster is degraded.
Which tool within VMware Cloud Foundation should be used to gather detailed logs and perform in-depth troubleshooting for the vSAN issues?
Answer : A
Aria Operations for Logs (formerly known as vRealize Log Insight) is used to collect, analyze, and troubleshoot logs from various components within VMware Cloud Foundation, including the vSAN cluster. It provides detailed insights into the logs, allowing administrators to perform in-depth troubleshooting of issues like degraded health statuses.
An administrator needs to add a new cluster to an existing VI workload domain. The existing cluster in the domain is using NFS as its principal storage.
Which principal storage options are available for the new cluster?
Answer : B
In a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, when adding a new cluster to an existing VI workload domain, the new cluster must use the same principal storage as the existing cluster. Since the existing cluster is using NFS, the available storage options for the new cluster would be NFS or vSAN, depending on the configuration.
An Administrator is tasked with setting up a new workload domain with VMware Cloud Foundation. The workload domain will have the following configuration:
vSphere with Tanzu to support Kubernetes workloads
NSX for container and virtual machine networking
Aria Operations will be configured for monitoring of the infrastructure
Which three steps should be taken to complete the installation and configuration of this workload domain? (Choose three.)
Answer : C, D, E
NSX segments need to be configured for Kubernetes namespaces to provide network connectivity and isolation for the Kubernetes workloads that will be deployed.
The Supervisor Cluster must be deployed as part of the IaaS Control Plane to manage the Kubernetes workloads and enable vSphere with Tanzu.
Enabling workload management in vCenter Server allows the deployment and management of Kubernetes workloads alongside virtual machines, utilizing vSphere with Tanzu.
What is the primary benefit of using VMware vCenter Content Libraries?
Answer : A
VMware vCenter Content Libraries provide a centralized location for storing and managing virtual machine templates, ISO images, and scripts, making it easier to distribute these resources across multiple vCenter instances. This helps streamline the deployment process, ensuring consistency and reducing the overhead of managing these resources manually.
