  A. patching
  B. maintenance mode
  C. future growth
  D. log file space
  D. log file space

• Question 32:

  A logical design includes basic subsystems that the design will use and data flow directions, but it does not include specific hardware or settings details.

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True

• Question 33:

  Which type of virtual disk takes the longest to create but performs the best?

  A. Thin provisioned
  B. Eager-zero
  C. Lazy-zero
  D. Flat
  D. Flat

• Question 34:

  You are the technical designer for a vSphere platform transformation project. After conducting SME interviews and using various platform information-gathering methods, you have created a high-level design document.

  This document specifies the following:

  Requirements:

  R1. The solution must not have a single point of failure. R2. Production applications must not have an outage of more than 10 seconds.

  R3. Data must be based in the UK.

  R4. There is a 7-year retention policy for contracts. R5. Applications should support existing and developing workloads for the next 3 years' growth.

  Spec of servers:

  Web 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB storage

  App 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 Gb storage

  DB 2 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 750 Gb storage

  At a late stage in the software development life cycle of a production application developed in- house, an unfortunate issue was identified when the application was deployed to the production vSphere cluster. The production core stacked

  switch has capacity issues, and this is having a serious impact on all applications for which the switch is providing network services. Within the test system, the application works as intended in the single test VLAN and with a single-host

  configuration.

  Which of the following could be tried to help in this situation, from a vSphere perspective? (Choose two)

  A. Redevelop the application for a virtual platform
  B. Place the application into a single-vApp network
  C. Add DRS rules to keep network traffic within the same host, where possible
  D. Configure network I/O control
  B. Place the application into a single-vApp network
  D. Configure network I/O control

• Question 35:

  You are a virtualization consultant at a company that develops its own inhouse website trading systems. The new website will be deployed in a vSphere 5 platform, which consists of two clusters and four ESXi hosts (one for each project--the SDLC hosts--for all levels of testing and development prior to production deployment). The production cluster has been configured for fully automated DRS and VMware HA. During the SDLC, the website platform was developed on a single development ESXi host inside a single VLAN. The system was successfully tested within the SDLC ESXi hosts and then deployed to the production cluster in a single vApp and a single VLAN. Following a successful midweek, the new application starts to show signs of latency. Suddenly several applications across the cluster are being impacted by network latency issues. Metrics are collected and show that the amount of network traffic between the database and application servers of the new website platform are at 96% utilization on the physical switch links between ESXi hosts in the production cluster. What should you do?

  A. Recommend that the website platform be fixed and removed from the production system.
  B. Create a DRS affinity rule to ensure that the database and applications servers stay on the same ESXi host and do not traverse the physical network when communicating.
  C. Configure Network I/O Control to ensure that the network latency is alleviated between the database and applications servers.
  B. Create a DRS affinity rule to ensure that the database and applications servers stay on the same ESXi host and do not traverse the physical network when communicating.

• Question 36:

  A current state analysis is a project phase that is carried out to validate the end of a project.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

• Question 37:

  During the design phase, one of the constraints listed is that because the organization is already using SQL Server 2008 in-house, a SQL Server database would have to be used for the vCenter Server. Because of the constraint, ______________.

  A. the organization would have to use VCSA since it supports SQL Server
  B. the organization would have to use the Windows versions of the vCenter Server, but the database would have to be internal to the vCenter Server
  C. either the VCSA or the vCenter Server can be used
  D. the Windows version of vCenter Server would have to be used because VCSA does not support SQL Server
  D. the Windows version of vCenter Server would have to be used because VCSA does not support SQL Server

• Question 38:

  What topics need to be considered when creating a storage design?

  A. Application I/O requirements
  B. Growth rate
  C. Latency
  D. All of the above
  D. All of the above

• Question 39:

  Only a software vendor develops a standard process or configuration.

  A. True
  B. False
  B. False

• Question 40:

  Entry criteria should be included in all areas of documentation designed for implementation and validation.

  A. True
  B. False
  A. True
