VMware vSphere 6 Advanced Design (VCAP6-DCV Design) — Question 41

The hardware operations team is planning to purchase new ESXi hosts for the upcoming budget year and is requesting recommendations on the type of servers to purchase for a web application. The web application consists of hundreds of small virtual machines (1 vCPU and 8GB of RAM) that are members of a software cluster.
The solution should have these abilities:
✑ Recover from ESXi host hardware failures
✑ Zero downtime for a limited number of critical virtual machines (VMs)
✑ Migrate running VMs between ESXi hosts without interruption to the operating system
✑ Perform these functions using VMware ESXi servers, vCenter Server, and high-speed network interfaces
What are the three functional requirements and their associated VMware technologies? (Choose three.)

Answer options

• A. automatic restarts of failed VMs (vSphere HA)
• B. high speed network interface (vSphere Distributed Switches)
• C. ability to migrate running VMs (vSphere vMotion)
• D. fault tolerance for limited number of critical VMs (vSphere FT)
• E. VMware ESXi Servers (vSphere Auto Deploy)

Correct answer: A, C, D

Explanation

The correct options are A, C, and D because vSphere HA provides automatic restarts of VMs after host failures, vSphere vMotion allows for the live migration of running VMs, and vSphere FT ensures fault tolerance for critical VMs. Option B, while related to networking, does not directly address the specific functional requirements needed for handling VM migration and fault tolerance, and option E is a deployment method rather than a functional requirement.
