61.Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as manageability non-functional requirements?Choose two.

A. 　 ESXi clusters must scale when compute resources are sustained above 70% for five business days

B. 　 vSphere Fault Tolerance must be supported to improve application uptime

C. 　 ESXi host updates must be installed within one week of release

D. 　 The vSphere environment must support administrator password rotation

E. 　 ESXi clusters must scale to 500 concurrent virtual machines

88.A new real-time financial service application is being developed by the engineering team at a financial firm and will be released as a public Software-as-a-Service ( ) offering. The solutions architect has designed and deployed a new vSphere environment and the supporting network infrastructure for hosting all public services. ESXi hosts are configured to use Precision Time Protocol ( ) and a local stratum-1 network time server. Application provisioning and scaling will be managed by VMware vRealize Automation and can be run on Microsoft Windows or multiple distributions of Linux.
Which three recommendations should the architect include in the design to ensure that the service maintain timekeeping within an accuracy of one second? Choose three.

A. 　 Use Microsoft Windows Server as the guest operating system.

B. 　 Configure the chrony time-sync agent on each virtual machine guest operating system.

C. 　 Set the virtual hardware device to use Host System Time (NTP) for each virtual machine running the application.

D. 　 Add a precision clock virtual device to each virtual machine running the application.

E. 　 Use a Linux distribution as the guest operating system.

F. 　 Add a virtual watchdog timer (VWDT) device to each virtual machine running the application.

9.An architect is designing a new vSphere environment with the following resources:
-600 vCPU 5,760 GB RAM
-Average resource usage is:
-60 vCPU 1,152 GB RAM
-The design must meet the following requirements:
-The environment has the ability to burst by 25%.
-Each host can schedule 36 vCPUs and has 512 GB RAM.
-Management overhead is 20%.
What is the minimum number of hosts required to meet the design requirements?

A. 　 Three

B. 　 Five

C. 　 Four

D. 　 Two

8.An architect is designing a new greenfield environment with 600 ESXi hosts in an automated fashion. The engineering department already has a PXE Boot server, TFTP server, and DHCP server set up with an NFS mount for their current Linux servers.
The architect must be able to demonstrate and meet a security requirement to have all infrastructure processes separated
Which recommendation should the architect make for the ESXi host deployment?

A. 　 Request an isolated network segment to use and dedicate it to Auto Deploy functions

B. 　 Ask the business to expand the engineering environment to service the virtual environment as well

C. 　 Request a common shared network with flexible security measures to accommodate different auto deployment options

D. 　 Deploy each ESXi host individually and document it to satisfy security requirements

44.A architect is designing a new VMware software-designed data center ( ) using vSphere 7 to meet the following requirements:
The SDDC must be deployed at two locations: primary and secondary.
vSphere Replication must be used to replicate virtual machines between the two locations.
Site Recovery Manager must be used to orchestrate disaster recovery ( ) activities.
One single-sign on ( ) domain must be used to authenticate access at both locations.
Which design decision should the architect make to meet these requirements?

A. 　 A vCenter Server Appliance will be deployed to each site. Unique SSO domains will be created per site.

B. 　 A vCenter Server will be installed on Windows virtual machines deployed to both sites.

C. 　 A vCenter Server Appliance will be deployed to each site.
