VMware 2V0-13.24 Exam Dumps

B.   vSphere DPM for VI Workload Domains (excluding when vSAN is a principal storage).

A.   An assumption that the DB workload resource requirements will remain static.

Answer DescriptionExplanation: In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) 5.2, design documentation includes assumptions, constraints, requirements, and risks to define the solution’s scope and address potential challenges. The scenario provides specific information about workload types and their behavior over time, which the architect must categorize appropriately. Let’s evaluate each option:

Option A: An assumption that the DB workload resource requirements will remain static
This is the correct answer. An assumption is a statement taken as true without proof, often based on customer-provided information, to guide design planning. The customer explicitly states that “the DBwork loads will stay the same in terms of resources over time.” Documenting this as an assumption reflects this fact and allows the architect to size the VCF instance with a fixed resource allocation for DB workloads, while planning scalability for other workloads. This aligns with VMware’s design methodology for capturing stable baseline conditions.

Option B: A constraint of including the management, DB, and VDI environments
This is incorrect. A constraint is a limitation or restriction imposed on the design, such as existing hardware or policies. The need to support management, VDI, DB, and general workloads is a requirement (what the solution must do), not a limitation. Labeling it a constraint misrepresents its role—it’s a design goal, not a restrictive factor. Constraints might include budget or rack space, but this scenario doesn’t indicate such limits.

Option C: A requirement consisting of the growth of the general workloads and VDI environment
This is a strong contender but incorrect in this context. A requirement defines what the solution must achieve, and the customer’s statement that “general workloads and VDI environments are expected to grow over the next 3 years” could be a requirement (e.g., “The solution must support growth…”). However, the question asks for a single item, and Option A better captures a foundational planning element (static DB workloads) that directly informs sizing. Growth could be a requirement, but it’s less immediate than the assumption about DB stability for initial design documentation.

Option D: A risk that the VCF instance may not have enough capacity for growth
This is incorrect as the primary answer. A risk identifies potential issues that could impact success, such as insufficient capacity for growing workloads. While this is a valid concern given VDI and general workload growth, the scenario doesn’t provide evidence of immediate capacity limitations—only an expectation of growth. Risks are typically documented after sizing, not as the sole initial inclusion. The assumption about DB workloads is more fundamental to start the design process.

A.   Asynchronous storage replication that satisfies a recovery point objective (RPO) of 15min between site A and B

C.   Consult the Compliance Kit for VMware Cloud Foundation

D.   Use and configure integration with Microsoft Certificate Authority (CA)

C.   Perform ESXi host maintenance activities outside of the stated business hours.

Answer DescriptionExplanation: The VCF 5.2 design must ensure the business application (two VMs) remains available during business hours (9 AM - 5 PM weekdays) and is protected from storage I/O disruptions in a consolidated architecture with a single six-host cluster using vSAN. The goal is to mitigate risks to the application’s performance and availability. Let’s evaluate each option:

• Option A: Use resource pools to apply CPU and memory reservations on the business application virtual machines Resource pools with reservations ensure CPU and memory availability, which could help performance. However, the application’s sensitivity is to storage I/O, not CPU/memory, and the availability requirement (business hours) isn’t directly addressed by reservations. While useful, this doesn’t fully mitigate the primary risks identified, making it less optimal.
• Option B: Implement FTT=6 for the business application virtual machines. This is incorrect and infeasible. In vSAN, Failures to Tolerate (FTT) defines the number of host or disk failures a storage object can withstand, with a maximum FTT dependent on cluster size. FTT=6 requires at least 13 hosts (2n+1 where n=6), but the cluster has only six hosts, supporting a maximum FTT=2 (RAID-5/6). Even if feasible, FTT addresses data redundancy, not runtime availability or I/O sensitivity during business hours, making this irrelevant to the stated risks.
• Option C: Perform ESXi host maintenance activities outside of the stated business hours. This is the correct answer. In a vSAN-based VCF cluster, ESXi host maintenance (e.g., patching, reboots) triggers data resyncs and VM migrations (via vMotion), which can impact storage I/O performance and potentially cause brief disruptions. The application’s sensitivity to storage I/O and its availability requirement (9 AM - 5 PM weekdays) mean maintenance during business hours poses a risk. Scheduling maintenance outside these hours (e.g., nights or weekends) mitigates this by ensuring uninterrupted I/O performance and availability during critical times, directly addressing the customer’s needs.
• Option D: Replace the vSAN shared storage exclusively with an All-Flash Fibre Channel shared storage solution. This is incorrect. While an All-Flash Fibre Channel array might offer better I/O performance, VCF’s consolidated architecture relies on vSAN as the primary storage for management and workload domains. Replacing vSAN entirely contradicts the chosen architecture and introduces unnecessary complexity and cost. The sensitivity to storage I/O changes doesn’t justify abandoning vSAN, especially since All- Flash vSAN could meet performance needs if properly tuned.
• Option E: Use Anti-Affinity Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) rules on the business application virtual machines Anti-Affinity DRS rules ensure the two VMs run on separate hosts, improving availability by avoiding a single host failure impacting both. While this mitigates some risk, it doesn’t address storage I/O sensitivity (a vSAN-wide concern) or guarantee availability during business hours if maintenance occurs. It’s a partial solution but less effective than scheduling maintenance outside business hours.

Conclusion: The best design decision is to perform ESXi host maintenance activities outside of the stated business hours(Option C). This directly mitigates the risk of storage I/O disruptions and ensures availability during 9 AM - 5 PM weekdays, aligning with the customer’s requirements in the VCF 5.2 consolidated architecture.

A.   Reduce processing time for service requests by 30%.

Answer DescriptionExplanation: In VMware’s design methodology (aligned with VCF 5.2), requirements are categorized as Business Requirements(goals tied to organizational outcomes, often nontechnical) or Technical Requirements(specific system capabilities or constraints). Let’s classify each option:

B.   Configure a stretched L2 VLAN for the infrastructure management components between the AZs.


E.   Choose two close proximity AZs and configure a stretched management workload domain.
