You are a VMware consultant working at a small managed services company. The company has won a contract with a large company, Company A, to host its test and dev platform, with the chance on annual review to host the production platform. Although you have been engaged early in the project due to business requirements, the budget for the project has already been combined with that for another DR project for another company, Company B. The thought process for this decision is that, if needed, the test systems from Company A have a lower requirement in the unlikely event of Company B having a DR event.
All the items have been bought and are to be delivered. Your role is to take the equipment provided and construct, develop, and implement a scalable working vSphere platform. The following requirements are stated:
Company A test machines must be provided with sufficient resources for BAU. Company B systems can be made available with minimum impact to Company A. For Company A, RTO is 7 days, and RPO is 1 month.
For company B, RTO is 1 hour, and RPO is 15 minutes. Using a shared infrastructure in this way is a risk to the project.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

The technical design process enables the platform designer to work in a methodical way and with others with similar objectives. A risk is an object that could prevent the delivery of the project requirements.
Chapter 1, The Technical Design Process



You are a VMware consultant working at a small managed-services company that has won a contract with a large Company A to host its test and dev platform, with the chance on annual review to host its production platform. Although you have been engaged early in the project, because of business requirements, the budget for the project has already been combined with another DR project for another Company B. The thought process for this decision is that, if needed, the test systems from Company A have a lower requirement in the unlikely event of Company B having a DR event.
All the items have been bought and are to be delivered. Your role is to take the equipment provided and construct, develop, and implement a scalable working vSphere platform.
The requirements stated are:
Company A test machines must be provided with sufficient resources for BAU. Company B systems must be made available with minimum impact to Company A. The RTO for Company A is seven days, with an RPO of one month. Company B's RTO is 1 hour, and its RPO is 15 minutes. The use of a shared infrastructure used in this way is a constraint to the project.

  1. True
  2. False

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An item from the current state analysis that would restrict or change a design choice is potentially a constraint. These factors can limit the design and in some cases prevent the realization of the project vision.



You are a VMware consultant who has been hired to take over a mismanaged VMware vSphere 5 platform estate. You are presented with the vCenter administrator password and given the following information.
1. The system has full production support from VMware.
2. The platform has been suffering from performance problems for two weeks.
3. No documentation exists.
Your role is to design and implement a platform that meets the following requirements: R001: Stable for current workloads R002: Supportable by operations staff
Which of the following discovery methods should be used?

  1. Active discovery
  2. Passive discovery

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

There are two types of discovery methods:
Active discovery can run processes which are detrimental and can impact a system, and normally requires an agent. With passive discovery, data is obtained in a non- impactful, non-intrusive manner with no agents. Data such as this normally needs more experience to obtain and interpret/present.

The preferred method for information gathering in this case should be a passive discovery.

  1. True
  2. False

The performance problem mentioned in the initial project information can be classified as:

  1. A constraint
  2. An assumption

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

An assumption is an item which could more than likely impact your design. It is good to ensure that the project time and wider business are aware of these assumptions, and that they are agreed upon and validated as part of the design consideration process.
