VMware vSphere 8.x Advanced Design - 3V0-21.23 Exam Questions

QUESTION NO: 1
An architect is tasked with devising a vSphere design strategy that will allow the company to quickly scale global data center functionality when a new location is identified.
The following requirements must be met:
The solution must include VMware licensing costs.
The design must keep data locally to each specific location.
The design must utilize current company processes around vSphere.
Any new global location must be functional within one month of identification.
Which design strategy will meet these requirements?

QUESTION NO: 2
An architect is documenting the design for a new multi-site vSphere solution. The customer has informed the architect that the workloads hosted on the solution are managed by application teams, who must perform a number of steps to return the application to service following a failover of the workloads to the secondary site.
These steps are defined as the Work Recovery Time (WRT). The customer has provided the architect with the following information about the workloads:
Critical workloads have a WRT of 12 hours
Production workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
Development workloads have a WRT of 24 hours
All workloads have an RPO of 4 hours
Critical workloads have an RTO of 1 hour
Production workloads have an RTO of 12 hours
Development workloads have an RTO of 24 hours
The customer has also confirmed that the Disaster Recovery solution will not begin the recovery of the development workloads until all critical and production workloads have been recovered at the secondary site.
What would the architect document as the maximum tolerable downtime (MTD) for each type of workload in the design?

QUESTION NO: 3
An architect is designing a vSphere-based private cloud solution to support the following customer requirements:
The solution should support running 5,000 concurrent production compute workloads across the primary and secondary sites.
The solution should support running 1,000 development compute workloads within the secondary site.
The solution should support up to 50 management workloads across the primary and secondary site.
The solution must ensure the isolation of virtual infrastructure management operations between management and compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that the hosting of any virtual infrastructure management workloads does not impact the amount of capacity available for compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that all production compute workloads are physically isolated from development compute workloads.
The solution must ensure that the operational management of compute workloads in the secondary site is possible in the event of a disaster affecting the primary site.
How many VMware vCenter instances will the architect need to include in the design to meet these requirements?

QUESTION NO: 4
An architect is reviewing the information gathered from an initial requirements gathering workshop.
The following requirements have been identified:
REQ001 - The architecture must support tracking of administrative logons and actions.
REQ002 - The architecture must support class three (three nines or 99.9%) system availability.
REQ003 - The architecture must report on system usage in terms of CPU, memory, storage and network.
REQ004 - The architecture must provide for system recovery point objective (RPO) of two hours.
REQ005 - The architecture must provide access to a precision time protocol (PTP) for time synchronization.
Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as business (formerly functional) requirements?
(Choose two.)

QUESTION NO: 5
During a workshop for a design project, the following information is shared:
Develop and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders and partners to promote collaboration.
Maintain high standards of quality and professionalism in all aspects of the project.
Build a strong foundation for future projects, including cloud infrastructures.
Ensure project timelines and milestones are met by effectively managing resources and priorities.
Which of these would be classified as a business outcome of the project?

QUESTION NO: 6
Which is a benefit of using vSAN stretched clusters in VMware Cloud Foundation?

QUESTION NO: 7
An architect is designing a solution for a customer to meet the following business objectives:
Pass compliance audits
Reuse compute hardware
Grow by 10% per year
Move to a subscription-based consumption model
Which business objective translates as a conceptual model constraint?

QUESTION NO: 8
An architect is designing a new vSphere architecture and notes the following information during the design workshops:
vSphere distributed switches (VDS) will be used for all vSphere clusters. Switch naming will be based on cluster name, resource type function and switch number.
Port group naming will be based on function, role and VLAN number range.
Each host has two physical network cards each with two NIC ports:
- Card A aligns to vmnic0 and vmnic1
- Card B aligns to vmnic2 and vmnic3
The architecture must provide resilient network connections.
Management Services will use VLAN ID 43.
Virtual machines access VLAN ID 100.
The vSphere infrastructure will use a hyper-converged storage architecture.
How should the architect document the VDS physical design based on the noted information?

QUESTION NO: 9
An architect is designing a vSphere-based application hosting solution in a brownfield site.
The following information has been provided during the requirements gathering workshop:
The solution should support 5,000 compute workloads across two physical sites.
The CFO has approved budget for the purchase of new server and network hardware only.
The existing storage array is currently Fibre Channel connected with 2 x 8 Gbps interfaces to a dedicated Storage Area Network (SAN) fabric.
The existing storage array does not support integration with vSphere API for Storage Awareness.
The existing storage array can be configured to support NFS storage.
The existing vSphere administration team will responsible for operational management of the new solution.
Which storage technology should the architect recommend based on these requirements?

QUESTION NO: 10
A company has the requirement to ensure that business-critical applications have the necessary network bandwidth to function optimally and maintain a consistent quality of service (QoS).
Which statement would be included in the conceptual design to support this requirement?
