VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 10

An architect is updating an existing design to include a new vSphere cluster to meet the following customer requirements:
The solution must provide automatic load redistribution of workloads across all resources in the cluster
The solution must consider the usage patterns of workloads when performing load redistribution
The solution must provide capacity to reserve resources equal to two ESXi hosts for failover in the event of a host failure
The architect has also collected the following assumptions and constraints during the design workshops:
A001 - Budget is available for additional hardware and software if required to meet the solution requirements
A002 - Capacity is available to allow the deployment of additional tooling to manage the solution
C001 - All management workloads must be deployed to the existing vSphere management cluster
Which three design decisions should the architect include to meet the documented requirements? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. The solution will enable the Predictive DRS option to avoid host over-commitment.
• B. The solution will enable the Memory Metric for Load Balancing option to avoid host over-commitment.
• C. The solution will deploy VMware Aria Operations to monitor the vSphere environment.
• D. The solution will enable the VM Distribution option to avoid host over-commitment.
• E. The solution will deploy a Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) enabled cluster with sufficient capacity to meet the workload demands.
• F. The solution will deploy a vSphere Distributed Power Management (DPM) enabled cluster with sufficient capacity to meet the workload demands.

Correct answer: A, C, E

Explanation

The correct answers A, C, and E provide a comprehensive approach to managing resource allocation and monitoring in the vSphere cluster. Enabling Predictive DRS allows for intelligent load balancing while considering usage patterns, and deploying VMware Aria Operations ensures ongoing monitoring of the environment. Option E ensures that the DRS-enabled cluster has the necessary capacity for workloads. Options B, D, and F, while relevant, do not directly address the specific requirements of automatic load redistribution and monitoring as effectively as the correct choices.
