3V0-21.21 Free Practice Test

An architect will be taking over control of a former Linux server fleet and repurposing the hardware into a new vSphere cluster. The current environment is already connected to the network but the hosts do not have any local disks. Since the fleet hardware is uniform, the architect can use a single ESXi image. All hosts within the cluster have the same CPU and memory capacity.
Which ESXi deployment method should the architect use?

1. A. Stateless cached vSphere Auto Deploy
2. B. Stateless vSphere Auto Deploy
3. C. Manual install of each ESXi host with an image from USB
4. D. Stateful vSphere Auto Deploy

Correct Answer: B

Following a recent acquisition, an architect needs to merge IT assets into its current data center. The combined vSphere environment will need to run the newly acquired company’s virtual machines.
Network integration work has already been completed and the current environment has capacity to host all virtual machines. The Operations team needs to identify which virtual machines belong to the acquired company and report on their usage.
How should the architect merge the company’s assets and virtual machines?

1. A. Leave the newly acquired company’s assets in its current place
2. B. Lift and shift the acquired assets into the data center
3. C. Migrate the acquired company’s virtual machines into the existing vSphere environment
4. D. Migrate and apply vSphere tags to the acquired company’s virtual machines

Correct Answer: D

An architect is designing a vSphere environment for a customer based on the following information:
The vSphere cluster will have three hosts only due to budget considerations.
A database cluster (node majority) consisting of three virtual machines will be running on the vSphere cluster.
Which two recommendations can the architect make so that the customer achieves the highest level of application availability while taking into consideration operational resiliency? (Choose two.)

1. A. Create VM-VM anti-affinity rules
2. B. Set das.respectvmvmantiaffinityrules to false
3. C. Create VM-Host anti-affinity rules
4. D. Disable vSphere HA during maintenance
5. E. Set das.ignoreinsufficienthbdatastore to true

Correct Answer: BC

Refer to the exhibit.
During a requirements gathering workshop, the architect shares the following diagram:

What should the architect recommend for guaranteed throughput for each service?

1. A. Use explicit failover order with pNIC0 as Active for ESXi Management and VM Network Use explicit failover order with pNIC1 as Active for backup networkUse explicit failover order with pNIC2 as Active for vMotion Use explicit failover order with pNIC3 as Active for replication
2. B. Use the Route Based on IP Hash for ESXi management and VM network Use the Route Based on IP Hash for backup networkUse the Route Based on the Originating Virtual Port for vMotion Use failover with pNIC3 as Active for replication
3. C. Create a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_01Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for vMotion Use the Route Based on Physical NIC Load for replication
4. D. Use the Route Based on IP Hash for ESXi management and VM network Use failover with pNIC1 as Active for backup networkCreate a link aggregation group (LAG) for vDS_02

Correct Answer: A

An architect is designing a new backup solution for a vSphere platform that has been recently upgraded to vSphere 7.
The architect wants the backup solution to perform the following:
Full virtual machine image backup and restore
Incremental virtual machine image backup and restore
File level backup and restore within both Windows and Linux virtual machines
LAN-free backup
Which functional requirement should the architect include in the design of the new backup solution?

1. A. The backup solution must leverage the VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) framework.
2. B. The backup solution must leverage virtual machine snapshots.
3. C. The backup solution must leverage VMware vSphere Storage APIs - Data Protection.
4. D. The backup solution must leverage VMware vStorage APIs for Data Protection (VADP).

Correct Answer: C
