DRAG DROP -

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.x data center design for an organization. The customer has decided to virtualize their database application and has provided specific design requirements. You must determine how these requirements map to the design characteristic(s).

Match Database Requirements with Design Characteristics by dragging the red button (R1-R5) over the text of the appropriate Design Characteristic.

NOTE: Database Requirements can be mapped to more than one Design Characteristic.

Customer Requirements:

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.x data center design for an organization. The organization has produced two 24 port FC switches, andAsymmetrical Active/Active storage array (2 storage Processors with 4 ports each) and 22 ESXi Hosts with 2 dual port HBAs in each. Due to budgetary constraints, the organization cannot purchase anymore equipment. They have provided the following requirements:

• The existing Fibre Channel (FC) Asymmetrical Active/Active Array and FC switches must be used.
• No single point of failure to any datastore.
• Configuration must provide failover and load balancing.
• The customer requires a solution that will accommodate virtual machines with three different I/O load requirements:
• Static web virtual machines
• Critical application virtual machines.
• Object storage for their database virtual machines.

Design Requirements:

Create a logical design that be applied to each of the ESXi Hosts. The design should meet, but not exceed the customers requirements and should include:

• All required hardware
• All required resources
• Place the required datastore(s) in the storage array(s). Connect the storage processor(s) to the storage array(s). Connect the switch(es) to the storage processor
• (s) and HBA(s). Connect the ESXi host to the HBA(s) and Path Selection Policies.

Customer Requirements:

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.x data center design for an organization. The organization is looking to virtualize their physical email application.

The company has provided a list of requirements that must be included in the design:

• E-mail database is replicated between two servers at a logical level, with no shared disk configurations.
• E-mail databases meet corporate criteria for LUN provisioning, and must reside directly on storage array.
• Operating system disks do not meet corporate requirements for LUN provisioning, and per policy should not share the same VMFS storage location for redundancy reasons.
• Internal users currently point to three Client Access Servers for load balancing.
• External users currently point to three Web Client Access Servers for load balancing.
• Customer requires discrete hardware to provide security between internal servers and externally available servers, as well as between externally available servers, and client connections from offsite.

Design Requirements:

Create a solution that shows the service dependencies required for virtualizing the email application, including:

• All required storage for Mail DB VM(s) only
• All required network and security connection(s)
• All required virtual machine(s)
• All required user(s)

Place all items in required container(s). Connect VMFS datastore(s) to required virtual machine(s). Place disk(s) over the required storage type(s). Connect firewall(s) to container(s).

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.x design for an organization. The organization has a mission critical application that must be able to obtain its required CPU and memory resources even if contention occurs. You must determine which vSphere service(s) will allow for resources to be reserved.

Associate the vSphere Service on the left with the corresponding Reservation Type on the right by dragging the red button (S1-S6) over the text of the ReservationType.

NOTE: A vSphere Service may allow for more than one Reservation Type or none at all.

Customer Requirements:

You have been tasked with creating a vSphere 6.x data center design for an organization. The organization wants three defined virtual machine performance levels:

• Gold Tier High workload VMs
• Silver Tier Medium workload VMs
• Bronze Tier Development workload VMs

The organization has eight ESXi hosts that can be used in the design. Five of the hosts are older "medium performance" hosts, while the last 3 are newer "high performance" hosts that provide better resources when compared to the other hosts. The organization has provided a list of requirements that the design must meet:

• Gold Tier virtual machines should run only on high performance servers, unless no high performance servers are available. They should also be allocated 75% of overall available resources regardless of placement.
• Silver Tier virtual machines should run only on medium performance servers, unless no medium performance servers are available. They should also be allocated 25% of overall available resources regardless of placement.
• Bronze Tier virtual machines should run only on medium performance servers. They should also receive a 35% subset of resources from those allocated to the

Silver Tier.

Design Requirements:

Create a logical design that shows resource allocation and cluster policies needed to meet the customers requirements. The design should include:

• All required server(s)
• All required resource(s)

Place host(s) in the required DRS group(s). Place virtual machines in the appropriate resource pool(s). Connect parent to child resource pool connector(s) where needed. Connect the appropriate affinity connector(s) where needed.
