VMware vSphere 7.x Advanced Design (VCAP-DCV Design 2021) — Question 86

An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards.
What is the impact of this design decision?

Answer options

• A. Host profiles must be used for this kind of installation
• B. Scratch partition would need to be created on the external storage
• C. The size of the SD cards is too small and the installation will fail
• D. The vSphere Auto Deploy feature must be enabled on vCenter Server

Correct answer: B

Explanation

Selecting 8 GB SD cards for ESXi requires a scratch partition on external storage because the internal storage may not be adequate for logs and core dumps. Option A is incorrect as host profiles are not mandatory for this type of installation. Option C is false since 8 GB is typically sufficient for ESXi. Option D is irrelevant since Auto Deploy is not a requirement for this scenario.
