3V0-21.21 Exam Dumps : Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x

A customer is deploying a new cluster and wants to be able to patch and update two hosts in parallel. The cluster must be able to maintain N+1 resiliency across the remaining hosts while patching activities are performed. The current expected utilization of the platform requires a minimum of two hosts to support all of the virtual machines.

What is the minimum number of hosts the customer will require in the cluster in order to meet the required resiliency level?

An architect is considering placement of virtual machines within an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC).

During the discovery phase, the following information is documented:

Cluster One

• Six ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1
• Proactive HA is enabled and set to automated
• Fully Automated vSphere DRS
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is enabled

Cluster Two

• Eight ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1
• Proactive HA is disabled
• Partially Automated vSphere DRS
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Cluster Three

• Three ESXi hosts
• vSphere HA with admission control is disabled
• Proactive HA is not supported
• Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure if resources are available
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2

• Memory sharing techniques should not be used
• Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure regardless of available resources
• Automated initial virtual machine placement

Which two recommendations should the architect make for placement of the virtual machines to meet resource profile requirements? (Choose two.)

An architect is tasked with reviewing the design of a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) for a software development company. The platform is used to developing applications and services. It is important that the customer be able to accurately benchmark performance of developed applications.

The platform has recently commissioned new hosts to update the development cluster.

The development cluster host configuration is:

• 4 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 16 cores
• 512 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
• There is no resource contention

The benchmarking cluster host configuration is:

• 8 ESXi hosts with 2 sockets × 8 cores
• 256 GB RAM divided evenly between sockets
• There is no resource contention

The customer is developing an application that includes a database virtual machine. The application developer states that the database virtual machine performs as required only when allocated 8 vCPUs 256 GB RAM. The database virtual machine performance meets the required levels when run from the development cluster. Performance benchmarking for the database virtual machine yields highly variable results when run from the benchmarking cluster. The application cannot be released without reliable performance benchmarking data.

What is a possible reason for the difference in performance test results between the development and benchmarking clusters?
