VMware vSAN 8.x Administrator — Question 61

An architect is documenting the design for a new VMware Cloud Foundation based solution. Following the requirements gathering workshops held with the customer stakeholders the architect has made the following assumptions:

• The customer will provide sufficient licensing for the scale of the new solution
• The existing storage array that is to be used for the user workloads has sufficient capacity to meet the demands of the new solution
• The data center offers sufficient power, cooling and rack space for the physical hosts required by the new solution
• The physical network infrastructure within the data center will not exceed the maximum latency requirements of the new solution

Which two risks must the architect include as a part of the design document because of these assumptions? (Choose two.)

Answer options

• A. The assumptions may not be approved by a majority of the customer stakeholders before the solution is deployed
• B. The physical network infrastructure may not provide sufficient bandwidth to support the user workloads
• C. The customer may not have licensing that covers all of the physical cores the design requires
• D. The customer may not have sufficient data center power, cooling and physical rack space available

Correct answer: C, D

Explanation

Options C and D are correct risks because they directly relate to the assumptions made about licensing and data center resources. If the customer lacks the necessary licensing for all physical cores or if there isn't enough power, cooling, or rack space, the solution could face significant operational issues. Options A and B, while plausible concerns, do not directly stem from the assumptions listed in the question.
