Advanced Design VMware vSphere 7.x (Page 8 )

Updated On: 9-Feb-2026

An architect is preparing a design for a company planning digital transformation. During the requirements gathering workshop, the following requirements (REQ) and constraints (CON) are identified:

-REQ01 The platform must host different types of workloads including applications that must be compliant with internal security standard.
-REQ02 The infrastructure must initially run 100 virtual machines.
-REQ03 Ten of the virtual machines must be compliant with internal security standard.
-REQ04 The internal security standard specifies logical network separation for in-scope applications.
-CON01 The customer has already purchased the licenses as part of another project.
-CON02 The customer has five physical servers that must be reused.

Additionally, based on resource requirements, four physical servers will be enough to run all workloads. Which recommendation should the architect make to meet requirements while minimizing project costs?

  1. Use Network I/O Control to ensure the internal security zone has higher share value
  2. Purchase additional servers and plan separate, isolated clusters for workloads that must be compliant with internal security
  3. Use a single cluster and ensure that different security zones are separated at least with dedicated VLANs and firewall
  4. Use a single cluster and configure DRS anti-affinity rules to ensure internal security compliant virtual machines cannot migrate between ESXi hosts.

Answer(s): D



An architect is designing the expansion of an existing vSphere 7 environment. The customer is requesting a design for a new cluster to support the anticipated future business growth. The requirements specified for the existing environment design must be considered when designing the new cluster.

The existing design has the following requirements:
-REQ01 The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure.
-REQ02 The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour.
-REQ03 Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters.
-REQ04 Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled.

Which of the listed requirements would be classified as a functional requirement?

  1. The environment has an availability target of 99.5% for all infrastructure
  2. The recovery time objective (RTO) for Tier 1 virtual machines is one hour
  3. Access to the management cluster within the environment must be controlled
  4. Windows and Linux virtual machines must reside on separate clusters

Answer(s): A



Which two of the listed requirements would be classified as manageability non-functional requirements? (Choose two.)

  1. ESXi clusters must scale when compute resources are sustained above 70% for five business days
  2. vSphere Fault Tolerance must be supported to improve application uptime
  3. ESXi host updates must be installed within one week of release
  4. The vSphere environment must support administrator password rotation
  5. ESXi clusters must scale to 500 concurrent virtual machines

Answer(s): C,E



An architect makes the design decision to install ESXi on embedded and resilient 8 GB SD cards. What is the impact of this design decision?

  1. Host profiles must be used for this kind of installation
  2. Scratch partition would need to be created on the external storage
  3. The size of the SD cards is too small and the installation will fail
  4. The vSphere Auto Deploy feature must be enabled on vCenter Server

Answer(s): A

  1. Large
  2. Small
  3. Tiny
  4. Medium

Answer(s): A
