A database administrator is operating a virtual machine (VM) configured with 16 vCPU and 64GB of RAM. A recent performance audit has indicated that this virtual
machine is oversized and is using less than 60% of its configured CPU and memory capacity.
The ESXi host that contains this VM has 2 physical processors with 10 cores per processor, and 128GB of RAM.
This physical host’s architecture is split into two equal NUMA nodes.
Which vCPU and RAM configuration for the VM allows for the most resources, but also provides the performance benefit of local NUMA access?
16 vCPU and 32GB RAM
4 vCPU and 16GB RAM
10 vCPU and 64GB RAM
12 vCPU and 64GB RAM
Correct answer: B
Question 2
When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released?
Introduce a policy that requires a system administrator to check if a new appliance update (which might include an OS update) is available from the downloads section of MyVMware portal, and follow the VCSA documentation to apply the update.
Do nothing-the VCSA applies all OS updates automatically without any human interaction.
Introduce a policy that requires a system administrator to go online and check with the OS vendor to see if a new version is available. If it is, download it manually, log in to the VCSA with the root credentials, and proceed with the OS update.
Configure VMware Update Manager to download the OS update and apply it on a scheduled basis.
Correct answer: D
Question 3
A solution architect has finished conducting interviews and gathering requirements for a company, and has determined that the logical requirements are:
Two data centers for high availability
Synchronous replication to meet the zero minute RPO
Separating management workloads from application workloads
Dedicated 10Gb uplink for each low latency server
Single management point for the entire environment
Which two actions would meet the design requirements? (Choose two.)
Configure 1 Port Group with a dedicated 10Gb Uplink for low latency servers.
Deploy two clusters, one for management workloads and one for application workloads.
Build 2 Port Groups, one for management servers and one for application servers.
Install two vCenter Servers in Enhanced Link Mode.
