VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design) — Question 64

An architect is responsible for the following customer considerations in a hardware refresh:
Capacity planning will ensure that the environment does not exceed 70% of peak-average utilization on deployment.
CPU purchases will favor clock speed and last level cache over cores per socket.
Additional ESXi hosts will be added to the cluster when CPU or memory utilization exceeds 70% for 3 consecutive business days.
Path Selection policy will be set to round robin and set to switch paths with every SCSI command. vCPU to pCPU ratio may not exceed 5:1.
What are three considerations when designing for performance? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. Path Selection policy will be set to round robin and set to switch paths with every SCSI command.
• B. vCPU to pCPU ratio may not exceed 5:1.
• C. Capacity planning will ensure that the environment does not exceed 70% of peak-average utilization on deployment.
• D. All ESXi hosts must have four paths to the storage array.
• E. CPU purchases will favor clock speed and last level cache over cores per socket.
• F. Additional ESXi hosts will be added to the cluster when CPU or memory utilization exceeds 70% for 3 consecutive business days.

Correct answer: A, B, E

Explanation

The correct answers A, B, and E focus on important performance considerations such as efficient path selection, maintaining an appropriate vCPU to pCPU ratio, and optimizing CPU characteristics. Option C relates to capacity planning but is not directly about performance, while D is not mentioned in the original considerations, and F pertains to scaling rather than performance optimization.
