1. A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) environment runs mixed workloads (Online Transaction Processing (OLTP) + analytics), with the following vSAN configuration:

- 8 hosts (all-flash), ESA enabled.

- Each host: 2x3.2TB NVMe devices.

- Compression is Enabled.

- Checksum is Enabled.

- Storage Policy: FTT=1 (RAID-5/6), Failures to Tolerate = 1 and Object Space Reservation =0%.

During peak OLTP load, vSAN resync I/O and backend congestion increase latency despite having sufficient network bandwidth.

What is the direct action the administrator can perform to improve write performance while maintaining data protection compliance?

2. An administrator is tasked with deploying a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain that meets the following requirements:

- vSAN ESA as principal storage

- RAID 6 with FTT=2

- Support for Storage Traffic Separation

The administrator is provided the following hardware to perform the task:

- Four ESX hosts, each host contains:

- 24 CPU

- 96 GB memory

- Two 25GbE network NICs

- 12 NVMe devices 4TB each, connected to a single SATA/SAS/NVMe Tri-mode controller

What four changes must the administrator make to the hardware before deploying the new Workload Domain? (Choose four.)

3. An administrator is managing a local vSAN 3-node cluster running the Express Storage Architecture (ESA) as part of a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Workload Domain.

The following parameters apply at the cluster level:

- HA is enabled

- Reserved Failover Capacity = 25% for both CPU and Memory

The administrator is tasked with configuring the VSAN storage policy so it will tolerate the maximum number of failures.

What two protection levels can the administrator configure? (Choose two.)

4. An administrator has been tasked with suggesting storage models for a new VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud with the following characteristics:

- Single VCF Instance with a single Workload Domain.

- The VCF Management Workload Domain will consist of a single cluster that uses a highly scalable, integrated storage solution that does not require additional management software or hardware.

- The VCF Workload Domain consists of with a single Cluster that requires a multiple tier storage solution consisting of:

o A highly scalable, policy-based storage solution for critical application workloads.s.

o A file-based storage solution that can scale independently of the cluster for workloads with large data requirements.

Which three storage models should the administrator recommend? (Choose three.)

5. An administrator is responsible for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud has been tasked with identifying which storage model is supported in the different VCF Workload Domains.

Drag and drop the Support Status of each storage model on the left to each type of Workload Domain on the right.

6. The security team has notified the VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Storage Administrator of a new security vulnerability that must be patched immediately. The vSAN Cluster uses vSphere Lifecycle Manager images.

After updating the image with the patch, what method should the administrator use to apply this patch with the least amount of disruption to the cluster?

7. An administrator is tasked with configuring the vSAN File Service to deliver NFS file shares for an Edge environment.

Which three are required to deliver the service? (Choose three.)

8. A cache drive failed on one of the vSAN OSA nodes in the cluster.

When the drive failed, vSAN started a resync to ensure the health of the data, and all objects are showing a healthy and compliant state.

The vSAN administrator needs to replace the failed cache drive.

Which set of steps should the vSAN administrator take?

9. To respect the application criticality, an administrator is configuring the Recovery Priority of protected Virtual Machines (VMs).

What does VMware Live Site Recovery leverage to mark a recovery priority as completed?

10. An architect is designing a vSAN storage solution for a remote site.

The following requirements have been given:

- There is enough rack space for two hosts, each with 36 CPU cores and 256 GB of RAM

- The physical network at the remote site supports 10 Gb maximum

- The network connecting the remote site to corporate has 10 Gb of bandwidth with an average RTT of 25ms

- High availability is expected for all the Virtual Machines running at the remote site

- The solution must provide additional storage to 16 graphic design Windows based workstations.

- Active Directory is configured and available at the remote site.

- The graphic design application requires native NTFS permissions.

What vSAN advanced technology is required for configuring this remote site?

11. An administrator is tasked with setting up immutable snapshots for recovery in case of a cyber-attack.

Which two limitations apply when configuring immutable snapshots? (Choose two.)

12. A VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Management Domain is requested to be deployed with the following information:

- 6 blade style hosts with no local storage beyond the operating system.

- 4 25 Gb networking cards installed in each host.

- A 30 TB external array configured to support NVMe/TCP only.

- 2 dVs switches, one configured for storage isolation and one for all other traffic.

- Aria Operations is not currently deployed in the environment.

Place the general steps in sequence for converging VCF on to this configuration.

13. An administrator is responsible for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Private Cloud has been tasked with identifying which storage model is supported in the different VCF Workload Domains.

Drag and drop the Support Status of each storage model on the left to each type of Workload Domain on the right.

14. An administrator is preparing to enable vSAN Data-at-Rest Encryption and must verify that the identity and key provider prerequisites are met before proceeding with the configuration.

Which two requirements must be met? (Choose two.)

15. An administrator is tasked with deploying a vSAN ESA Stretched cluster for a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain.

The stretched cluster must meet the following requirements:

- Ensure the cluster supports a storage policy with a secondary level of resilience of FTT=2 using RAID-6 erasure coding.

- Allow vSAN to regain its prescribed level of resilience in the event of a sustained host outage.

What is the minimum number of hosts required in each availability zone?

16. A clustered legacy application is scheduled for decommissioning at the end of the month. While in use, it stored application and quorum data on a pair of vSAN iSCSI Target LUNs.

After the vSAN iSCSI Target Service is disabled, what will happen to the existing targets and LUNs?

17. A customer attaches an external Fibre-channel (FC) VMFS datastore to a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain for backup staging.

The administrator must confirm that the datastore is visible to all hosts, and that path and device health alarms will trigger should a fabric link or path fail.

Which action should the administrator take to verify this?
