VMware NSX-T Advanced Deployment (VCAP-NV Deploy) — Question 6

A customer wants to implement vRealize Suite Lifecycle Manager (vRSLCM) as a part of a new SDDC deployment.
✑ The customer has two physical data centers and number of branch offices.
✑ The customer has recently purchased Hyper-converged Infrastructure (HCI) hardware that has to be implemented and configured.
✑ The customer has a target availability Service Level Agreement (SLA) of 99.99%, measured quarterly, for the management components.
Which recommendation should the architect make to achieve the requirements?

Answer options

• A. Deploy a 3-node vRSLCM cluster on a vSAN stretched cluster
• B. Deploy a vRSLCM appliance in one DC and replicate it to the second DC
• C. Deploy a vRSLCM appliance on a vSAN stretched cluster
• D. Deploy a vRSLCM appliance on a vSAN cluster

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is D because deploying a vRSLCM appliance on a vSAN cluster ensures high availability and meets the SLA requirements effectively. Options A and C involve stretched clusters, which may introduce complexities and latency issues not ideal for management components, while option B does not provide the redundancy required for a 99.99% availability SLA.
