Question 8

Which two steps should an administrator perform to configure the backup of the VMware Cloud
Foundation (VCF) SDDC Manager and NSX components to allow them to be recovered in the event of
a full site failure? (Choose two.)

  • A. Backup the NSX Manager configuration by exporting it to an archive file.

  • D. Prepare an external SFTP server to store file-based backups.
  • E. Define a scheduled task in vCentertocreate a snapshot of the NSX Edge cluster.
Mark Question:
Answer:

B,D


Explanation:
You first configure the backup settings in SDDC Manager to enable periodic backups of both the
management domain and integrated NSX components.
You then prepare and specify an external SFTP server in those settings so that SDDC Manager and
NSX can store their file-based backups offsite for full-site recovery.

Question 10

An administrator is configuring a newly provisioned workload domain within a VMware Cloud
Foundation (VCF) environment. The workload domain will contain virtual machines hosting
applications which are considered business critical, and the administrator wants to ensure that the
virtual machines are given priority over other network traffic types.
Which three steps should the administrator perform to achieve this goal? (Choose three.)

  • A. Configure a bandwidth resource allocation for the virtual machine traffic type.
  • B. Enable Network I/O control (NIOC) on the workload domain vSphere Distributed Switch
  • C. Create a newvSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) specifically for virtual machine traffic.
  • D. Configure dedicated physical network adapters for the ESX] management traffic.
  • E. Disable bandwidth resource allocations for all other traffic types to ensure virtual machine traffic gets full bandwidth.
  • F. Configure a new network resource pool to assign shares, limits and reservations for the virtual machine traffic.
Mark Question:
Answer:

A,B,F


Explanation:
Defining a bandwidth allocation for the VM traffic type lets you reserve throughput for business-
critical VMs.
NIOC must be enabled on the workload domain’s vDS to allow policy enforcement.
Creating a network resource pool for VM traffic lets you assign appropriate shares, limits, and
reservations to prioritize that traffic.

Question 11

An administrator needs to ensure that all ESXi hosts in a cluster have a consistent configuration.
Which three steps are necessary to achieve this? (Choose three.)

  • A. Attach the host profile to all hosts in the cluster.
  • B. Extract the host profile from the configured reference host.
  • C. Right-click the host profile from the reference host and select duplicate host profile.
  • D. Configure the desired settings on an ESXi host.
  • E. Detach the host profile from all hosts in the cluster.
  • F. Manually configure each host to match the reference host settings.
Mark Question:
Answer:

A,B,D


Explanation:
You extract a host profile from the reference host that has the desired configuration.
Before extraction, you configure the reference ESXi host with the settings you want standardized.
You attach the extracted host profile to all other hosts in the cluster to enforce a consistent
configuration.

Question 12

An administrator is tasked to configure a Content Library to share its contents across multiple
vCenter Server instances.
What are the necessary steps and considerations to ensure the library is accessible for the
consumption by the other vCenter instances?

  • A. Create a Local Content Library on each vCenter Server instance and manually synchronize the content.
  • B. Create a Subscribed Content Library on each vCenterServer instance without enablingsynchronization.
  • C. create a Local Content Library on a primary vCenter Server instance and enable the "Publish" option.
  • D. create a Subscribed Content Library on the primary vCenter instance and enable the "Publish" option.
Mark Question:
Answer:

C


Explanation:
You first create a Local Content Library on the primary vCenter and enable the “Publish” option; this
makes its publishing URL available. Then, on each additional vCenter, you create a Subscribed
Content Library that points to that URL so content can be automatically synchronized.

  • A. HCX
  • B. Aria Suite Lifecycle
  • C. NSX
  • D. Aria operations
  • E. Supervisor
Mark Question:
Answer:

Question 14

What are three prerequisites for deploying an NSX Edge cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF)
solution? (Choose three.)

  • A. Set upvSAN storage policies for the Edge VMs.
  • B. Verify that the NSX host overlay VLAN and NSX Edge overlay VLAN are routed to each other.
  • C. Create DNS entries for the NSX Edge nodes.
  • D. Use separate VLAN IDs and subnets forthe NSX host overlay and NSX Edge overlay networks.
  • E. Configure BGP as a dynamic routing protocol on the physical switches.
  • F. Install Aria Operations and enable Edge Cluster monitoring.
Mark Question:
Answer:

B,C,D


Explanation:
The NSX host overlay VLAN and NSX Edge overlay VLAN must be routed to each other so Edge nodes
can establish overlay tunnels with transport nodes.
DNS A records for each NSX Edge node are required for name resolution during deployment and
operation.
NSX requires distinct VLAN IDs and subnets for the host overlay network (transport nodes) and the
Edge overlay network to segregate traffic and avoid IP space conflicts.
