VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 27

Which four factors should an architect consider when calculating the number of hosts required for a new multi-site vSphere-based solution that utilizes external storage? (Choose four.)

Answer options

• A. The workload profile (CPU and memory) of each workload
• B. The amount of resources required for virtual machine (VM) swap and VM snapshots
• C. The number of existing workloads that will be decommissioned prior to the completion of project
• D. The number of existing workloads that will be migrated onto the new solution
• E. The number of network connections per physical host server
• F. The future physical location of any workloads
• G. The hardware specification of the underlying infrastructure

Correct answer: A, B, D, G

Explanation

The correct factors include the workload profile (A), resource requirements for VM swap and snapshots (B), the number of existing workloads being migrated (D), and the hardware specifications (G) since these directly impact capacity planning. Options C and E are less relevant to determining the number of hosts needed, while option F pertains more to future planning rather than current capacity calculations.
