A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) administrator wants to add a host with more than two physical NICs to an existing cluster within a VI Workload Domain.
Which tool should the administrator use to accomplish this task?
Answer : C
To add a host with more than two physical NICs to an existing cluster within a VI Workload Domain in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), the SDDC Manager API should be used. The SDDC Manager UI does not directly support adding hosts with customized NIC configurations. The SDDC Manager API provides more flexibility and allows administrators to specify configurations, such as additional NICs, when adding hosts to a cluster.
A company has deployed a private cloud solution based on VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). To support the need to develop Kubernetes-based applications using vSphere with Tanzu within the private cloud, an administrator has been tasked with deploying a new VCF Workload Domain.
The administrator has successfully checked that all prerequisites for the new Workload Domain have been completed.
Which lifecycle management method should the administrator select when deploying the new Workload Domain?
Answer : C
In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), when deploying a Workload Domain that will support vSphere with Tanzu for Kubernetes-based applications, the recommended lifecycle management method is VMware vSphere Lifecycle Manager (vLCM) Images. vLCM Images provide a unified, image-based approach to lifecycle management, which is essential for ensuring consistency and compatibility across ESXi hosts, particularly for workloads that require Kubernetes integration.
A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) administrator deployed a VI Workload Domain for the purpose of a required vSphere with Tanzu environment. When deploying the NSX Edge cluster, the administrator needs to select an NSX Edge VM form factor.
Which is the minimal NSX Edge VM form factor that the VCF administrator should select?
Answer : A
For deploying vSphere with Tanzu in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, the minimal supported NSX Edge VM form factor is Medium. This form factor provides the necessary resources and performance to support Tanzu Kubernetes Grid workloads, which require sufficient network and routing capabilities provided by NSX-T. The Medium form factor meets the baseline requirements for a production-ready vSphere with Tanzu environment.
An organization has a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment and a non-VCF vSphere environment to connect with VMware Cloud.
How many VMware Cloud Gateway instances are required to connect these with the same VMware Cloud organization?
Answer : A
To connect both a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment and a non-VCF vSphere environment to the same VMware Cloud organization, the organization requires two VMware Cloud Gateway instances. One gateway instance is needed for each environment, ensuring that both the VCF and non-VCF vSphere environments can be connected and managed within the same VMware Cloud organization.
An administrator is tasked with deploying an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) instance into a federated VCF environment. The administrator needs to stretch a segment between the two VCF instances.
Which task must be completed first?
Answer : B
In a federated VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment, when stretching a segment between two VCF instances, the existing Tier-0 Gateway in the additional VCF instance must first be deleted. This is necessary because a single, unified Tier-0 Gateway is used across federated instances to provide seamless network connectivity. Removing the local Tier-0 Gateway in the additional instance allows it to connect to the cross-instance Tier-0 Gateway, facilitating the creation of a shared network segment.
How would an administrator remove an unused certificate from SDDC Manager?
Answer : C
To remove an unused certificate from SDDC Manager in VMware Cloud Foundation, the administrator needs to use the SDDC Manager command line. The SDDC Manager UI does not provide an option to manually remove certificates, and unused certificates are not automatically removed. Additionally, revoking the certificate from the certificate authority (CA) does not remove it from SDDC Manager, as the certificate would still remain in the system until it's manually deleted via the command line.
In which order does a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled need to be upgraded?
Answer : D
When upgrading a VI Workload Domain with Workload Management enabled in VMware Cloud Foundation, the correct sequence is essential to maintain compatibility and stability. The upgrade process should start with NSX, as it provides the foundational networking services required for both vCenter and workload management components. vCenter Server is upgraded next, followed by ESXi hosts to ensure compatibility with the updated vCenter version. Finally, Workload Management is upgraded last, as it relies on the updated versions of NSX, vCenter Server, and ESXi to function correctly.
