A customer has a database cluster with 40/60 read/write ratio and a high IOPs requirement with no contention on an all-flash vSAN cluster.
Which two storage settings should be configured for best performance? (Choose two.)

1. A. IOPs limits enabled
2. B. RAID 1
3. C. Deduplication and Compression disabled
4. D. RAID 5/6
5. E. Deduplication and Compression enabled

Correct Answer: AB

What is a benefit of using a scale-out method for handling vSphere cluster growth?

1. A. An increase in the recovery time objective (RTO) for the cluster
2. B. Faster to reach the limit of virtual machines per host
3. C. An overall reduction in the license costs for the cluster
4. D. Less potential impact to virtual machines during a single host failure

Correct Answer: B

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?

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

Correct Answer: B
https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/2074026 You can store coredumps on the SD boot media, but refrain from configuring the scratch partition here as the logs are write intensive and can cause the SD card to fail faster resulting in re-installation of ESXi

An architect is designing a solution based on the following information:
Each ESXi host has a single physical NIC with two 10 Gbps ports.
There is a performance-based service-level agreement (SLA) that guarantees 15 Gbps bandwidth for production virtual machines at all times.
There is no budget to purchase additional hardware.
The hardware replacement SLA is based on a delivery agreement of two business days.
Which recommendation for the configuration of vSphere High Availability (HA) should the architect include in the design?

1. A. Configure vSphere HAConfigure % based admission control Configure two isolation addresses Consider an OEM with NIC failure conditions in their Proactive HA plugin
2. B. Configure vSphere HASet das.IgnoreRedundantNetWarning to trueConsider an OEM with NIC failure conditions in their Proactive HA plugin
3. C. Configure vSphere HAConfigure two existing data stores for heartbeatConsider an OEM with NIC failure conditions in their Proactive HA plugin
4. D. Configure Proactive HA Automation Level: Automated Remediation: Maintenance mode for all failuresConsider an OEM with NIC failure conditions in their Proactive HA plugin

Correct Answer: A

An architect is designing a new vSphere environment to meet the following requirements:

1. A. Large
2. B. Small
3. C. Tiny
4. D. Medium
