When designing a storage platform, which of the following should be considered as part of the
overall design?

You are the technical designer for a vSphere platform transformation project. After conducting
SME interviews and using various platform information-gathering methods, you have created a
high-level design document.
This document specifies the following:
Requirements:
R1. The solution must not have a single point of failure.
R2. Production applications must not have an outage of more than 10 seconds.
R3. Data must be based in the UK.
R4. There is a 7-year retention policy for contracts.
R5. Applications should support existing and developing workloads for the next 3 years’ growth.
Spec of servers:
Web 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB storage

App 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 Gb storage
DB 2 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 750 Gb storage
At a late stage in the software development life cycle of a production application developed inhouse, an unfortunate issue was identified when the application was deployed to the production
vSphere cluster. The production core stacked switch has capacity issues, and this is having a
serious impact on all applications for which the switch is providing network services. Within the
test system, the application works as intended in the single test VLAN and with a single-host
configuration.
Which of the following could be tried to help in this situation, from a vSphere perspective?
(Choose two)

unsuitable?

would be required?

A logical diagram shows vendor-specific information.

Storage DRS is enabled by default.

Storage DRS can be enabled and can balance I/O levels based on _______________

The vCenter database is powered off ungracefully, along with a three cluster nodes in a separate
cluster. Will the failed existing ESXi host nodes restart correctly using Auto Deploy?

A best practice can change over time.
