Free VMware 3V0-21.23 Practice Exam with Questions & Answers

An architect is designing a new vSphere architecture and notes the following information during the design workshops:

vSphere distributed switches (VDS) will be used for all vSphere clusters. Switch naming will be based on cluster name, resource type function and switch number.

Port group naming will be based on function, role and VLAN number range.

Each host has two physical network cards each with two NIC ports:

- Card A aligns to vmnic0 and vmnic1

- Card B aligns to vmnic2 and vmnic3

The architecture must provide resilient network connections.

Management Services will use VLAN ID 43.

Virtual machines access VLAN ID 100.

The vSphere infrastructure will use a hyper-converged storage architecture.

How should the architect document the VDS physical design based on the noted information?

An architect is documenting the design decisions for a new vSphere solution. The following design decision has been made:

Create a separate vSphere cluster for the management workloads

What could the architect include as justification for this design decision?

An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The customer has provided the following information to describe how the solution will be used:

The solution will host development workloads

Administrators will utilize snapshots frequently, with snapshots sometimes retained for extended periods of time

Some of the workloads are sensitive to latency on the I/O of the storage

Storage for the workloads will be provided by a physical array

The physical array does not include a storage provider

All workloads must be hosted on the solution, there are no other vSphere environments available for use

Which design decision should the architect make to meet the needs of the customer?

An architect is tasked with designing a solution to monitor the operational state of a VMware Cloud Foundation environment through ad-hoc reporting and custom dashboards, alerts, and notifications.

Using VMware Validated Solutions, which validated solution can the architect leverage to meet this requirement?

What is a use case for a VMware Cloud Foundation consolidated architecture model?

An architect is tasked with creating a design for a vSphere-based solution.

Reviewing requirements with the security team, the architect makes the following design decision:

ESXi hosts in the environment will enable shell sandbox for SSH connections and the local ESXi shell

What is an implication of the design decision to enable shell sandboxing?

An architect is designing the access management component of a vSphere-based solution. During a requirements gathering workshop, the customer states that the architecture must use a centralized user authentication solution.

The architect decides that an Open Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (OpenLDAP) solution would meet the requirement. The security team intervenes and requires that the solution use the corporate Active Directory Domain Services solution.

At which point did the architect's design become constrained?

A company has a requirement that all production applications must have a maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) of one hour per month.

Which statement would be included in the conceptual design to support this requirement?

An architect is creating a design for a new vSphere solution to meet the following business requirement:

REQ001 - Reduce operational expenditure

Which design decision could the architect include in the logical design to satisfy this requirement?

An architect is designing the datastore configuration of a new vSphere-based solution.

The following information was obtained during the initial meeting with the customer:

There is currently 500 production and DMZ virtual machine workloads spread evenly across the primary and secondary site.

The profile of the workloads (per site) is as follows:

- DMZ:

-- 75 x Small: 1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, 200 GB disk

- Production:

-- 50 x Small: 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 200 GB disk

-- 100 x Medium: 2 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 200 GB disk

-- 25 x Large: 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, 500 GB disk

The average IO Profile per workload is 70/30 read/write.

The solution should cater to 10% storage growth in the first year.

The solution should cater to 15% virtual machine snapshot overhead.

The storage team has confirmed:

- A scalable external storage array has been deployed per site to support the storage requirements.

- The storage array will connect to all hosts using a dedicated Fibre Channel storage area network fabric.

- Usable storage capacity is available in 10 TB LUNs.

- As many LUNs as required can be provided.

- Every effort should be made to ensure the number of required LUNs is minimized.

The security team has stated that all DMZ and production workloads must remain logically isolated from each other.

Given the information provided, which three design decisions should the architect make to meet the requirements? (Choose three.)
