You are planning a vSphere 4.1 to 5.0 upgrade. The production datastores are 6 TB. Each datastore consist of thee extents of 2 TB and is currently 65% full. The operations team would like to keep the system as close to the current configuration as possible. The upgrade process also requires as little service impact as possible. In addition, you wish to use storage I/O control as soon as possible, due to a mission-critical business application requirement. Which of the following would be the correct approach?

A. Create a new VMFS 5 datastore of 6 TB
Enable storage I/O control
Migrate the VMs using storage vMotion
Configure storage I/O shares as required

B. Upgrade the VMFS 3 datastore
Enable storage I/O control
Configure storage I/O shares as required

Answer: A

Explanation:

When a datastore with VMFS v3 is upgraded with extents to VMFS v5, the logical attributes and extents are not changed. Storage I/O control cannot be used with  datastores composed of extents

A. The solution must adhere to ISO 27001.
B. Change control of the hosting vCloud platform is not under full control of the internal business.
C. The hosting provider outsources the platform support to the platform vendor.
D. The applications to be deployed on the production hosts are not fully developed, although a beta exists.

QUESTION NO: 13

When designing a system for VMware HA functionality, which of the following considerations is not an impact to the design?

A. The size of the host
B. The number of hosts
C. Application compatibility with VMware platforms using HA

Answer: C

Explanation:

The simplicity of VMware HA is one of the many design benefits. If an application or guest virtual machine is running on a vSphere platform, the system is compatible from a high level with VMware HA. It is purely an automated restart from a functionality perspective.

QUESTION NO: 12

You are designing a VMware HA cluster. Due to project requirements, it has been agreed that the admission control policy is based on the number of host failures tolerated per cluster. However, because there are a number of small web servers and one large database server with large reservations, the slot size has been manually configured. What is the impact of this configuration?

A. DRS will not automatically defragment the resources in the event of a failure.
B. DRS will automatically defragment the resources in the event of a failure.
C. DPM cannot be used in this configuration.

Answer: A

Explanation/Reference:
Explanation:

With the rebuild of vSphere 5 HA functionality, it is possible for VMware HA to ask DRS to defragment a cluster if systems are not going to restart correctly. However, this functionality is disabled if the default or automatic slot size calculation is changed using the override setting. In situations like this, from a design perspective, a percentage-based admission control policy would be more beneficial.

QUESTION NO: 11

As a result of multiple design meetings, it has been stated that the company creating the virtual architecture will be using a NAS device as its storage choice. There is a functional requirement to run a Microsoft application in a Microsoft Cluster Service (MSCS) environment. What is the risk in this setup?

A. The cluster will not perform well in a virtual environment.
B. The cluster will take up a lot of storage space, requiring an abnormal amount of storage.
C. MSCS requires raw device mappings, which cannot be created on a NAS.
D. There will be excessive IOPS as a result of the cluster.

Correct Answer: C
