An architect is designing a new VMware software-designed data center (SDDC) using vSphere 7 to meet the following requirements: ✑ The SDDC must be deployed at two locations: primary and secondary. ✑ vSphere Replication must be used to replicate virtual machines between the two locations. ✑ Site Recovery Manager must be used to orchestrate disaster recovery (DR) activities. ✑ One single-sign on (SSO) domain must be used to authenticate access at both locations. Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

• A. vCenter Server Appliance will be deployed to each site. Unique SSO domains will be created per site
• B. vCenter Server will be installed on Windows virtual machines deployed to both sites
• C. vCenter Server Appliance will be deployed to each site
• D. vCenter Server Appliance will be deployed to the primary site only

A customer is deploying a new cluster and wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel. The cluster must be able to maintain N+1 resiliency across the remaining hosts while patching activities are performed. The current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines. What is the minimum number of hosts the customer will require in the cluster in order to meet the required resiliency level?

• A. Five
• B. Six
• C. Four
• D. Seven

As part of a new hybrid cloud initiative for a large financial company, the customer technical team is presenting an overview of the current state of the infrastructure and their vision for a new solution. The project team captures notes during the presentation and adds them to the discovery documentation. Which of the listed statements is a design constraint?

• A. The applications are created in-house with in-guest recovery protection
• B. The maximum tolerable data loss is 10 minutes
• C. The two data center locations have a network latency of 8 ms round-trip time (RTT)
• D. The existing storage is out of maintenance

Which design decision must be included in a design to allow for the deployment of a minimum supported configuration of vCenter High Availability (HA)?

• A. new subnet will be provisioned for vCenter HA services
• B. vSphere cluster will consist of more than three nodes
• C. The deployed vCenter Server will be Tiny
• D. The vCenter HA network will support a latency of less than 50 ms

• A. Stateless vSphere Auto Deploy
• B. Stateful vSphere Auto Deploy
• C. Scripted installation
• D. Interactive installation

An architect decides to separate virtual desktops and application servers into separate vSphere clusters to meet security and management requirements. What are two implications of this design decision? (Choose two.)

• A. There will be an increase in management overhead
• B. Identical hardware must be procured for all hosts
• C. There will be a reduction in performance
• D. The patching cycles will affect both clusters at the same time
• E. There will be additional licensing and cost requirements for both clusters

An architect is reviewing a physical storage design. The customer has specified that a new active-passive based storage array will be used to provide storage for the vSphere clusters. Which configuration should for the architect recommended?

• B. VMW_PSP_MRU
• C. VMW_SATP_DEFAULT_AA
• D. VMW_PSP_FIXED
