VCAP5-DCD Online Practice Questions and Answers

When designing a storage platform, which of the following should be considered as part of the overall design?

A. Capacity

B. I/O requirements of the applications to be supported

C. Disk latency tolerance

D. Growth rate

E. All of the above

You are the technical designer for a vSphere platform transformation project. After conducting SME interviews and using various platform information-gathering methods, you have created a high-level design document.

This document specifies the following:

Requirements:

R1. The solution must not have a single point of failure. R2. Production applications must not have an outage of more than 10 seconds.

R3. Data must be based in the UK.

R4. There is a 7-year retention policy for contracts. R5. Applications should support existing and developing workloads for the next 3 years' growth.

Spec of servers:

Web 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB storage

App 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 Gb storage

DB 2 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 750 Gb storage

At a late stage in the software development life cycle of a production application developed in- house, an unfortunate issue was identified when the application was deployed to the production vSphere cluster. The production core stacked

switch has capacity issues, and this is having a serious impact on all applications for which the switch is providing network services. Within the test system, the application works as intended in the single test VLAN and with a single-host

configuration.

Which of the following could be tried to help in this situation, from a vSphere perspective? (Choose two)

A. Redevelop the application for a virtual platform

B. Place the application into a single-vApp network

C. Add DRS rules to keep network traffic within the same host, where possible

D. Configure network I/O control

A logical diagram shows vendor-specific information.

A. True

B. False

The vCenter database is powered off ungracefully, along with a three cluster nodes in a separate cluster. Will the failed existing ESXi host nodes restart correctly using Auto Deploy?

A. Yes

B. No

Has the configurable option "Failure Detection Time" in VMware HA has been removed in vSphere 5?

A. No. It is an advanced setting.

B. Yes. It is no longer needed due to additional storage checks in the VMware HA isolation response process.

Which of the following VMware vSphere functionality can help control real-time storage issues?

A. Storage DRS

B. Storage I/O control

You are working on a virtual guest design for the deployment of a critical business application. The software vendor has provided you with very few application requirements for projected workloads. Which of the following scaling approaches does this describe?

A. Adaptive

B. Predictive

You are a VMware technical consultant for an application development project. The system consists of a multitier application. The team consists of you, five developers, and a project manager. At the project kickoff meeting, you are tasked with creating the servers for each stage of the development life cycle the team is using: development, testing, staging, and production. During the meeting, you come to the conclusion that the technical specifications have yet to be defined or will likely change. Which of the following scaling approaches for guest workload design would be most appropriate?

A. Adaptive

B. Predictive

Best practices should always be followed.

A. True

B. False

RTO and RPO requirements can have a direct impact on the size and number of virtual datastores used in a vSphere platform.

A. True

B. False
