VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 28

An architect is designing a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)-based private cloud solution for a customer. The customer has stated the following requirement:
All components within the solution must be resilient to N+l.
During discovery, the following information has also been provided:
Over the next 3 years, due to various applications being retired, no overall growth in resource consumption is expected.
Following a review of a demand-based capacity report from Aria Operations, the architect has calculated that all of the existing workloads should fit into a 4-node cluster. Once all workloads are migrated, the resources of the cluster will be 90% utilized.
Given the information provided, a combination of which three design decisions satisfy the requirement? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The solution will deploy a workload cluster consisting of four VMware vSphere hosts.
• B. The solution will set the Host failures cluster tolerates for the workload cluster to 1.
• C. The solution will deploy a workload cluster consisting of five VMware vSphere hosts.
• D. The solution will set the DRS Automation level setting for the workload cluster to Partially Automated.
• E. The solution will configure vSphere Dynamic Resource Scheduling (DRS) for the workload cluster.
• F. The solution will configure vSphere High Availability (HA) for the workload cluster.

Correct answer: B, C, F

Explanation

Option B is correct because setting the Host failures cluster tolerates to 1 ensures the cluster can withstand one host failure, fulfilling the N+l resilience requirement. Option C is also correct as deploying five hosts provides additional resilience. Option F is correct because configuring vSphere High Availability (HA) ensures that VMs can be restarted on other hosts in case of failure, further supporting the resilience requirement. Options A, D, and E do not adequately address the resilience needs as specified.
