Examice

An architect is considering placement of virtual machines within an existing VMware software-defined data center (SDDC).

During the discovery phase, the following information is documented:

Cluster One -

✑ Six ESXi hosts

✑ vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1

✑ Proactive HA is enabled and set to automated

✑ Fully Automated vSphere DRS

✑ Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is enabled

Cluster Two -

✑ Eight ESXi hosts

✑ vSphere HA with host failures cluster tolerates = 1

✑ Proactive HA is disabled

✑ Partially Automated vSphere DRS

✑ Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Cluster Three -

✑ Three ESXi hosts

✑ vSphere HA with admission control is disabled

✑ Proactive HA is not supported

✑ Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1

✑ Memory sharing techniques should not be used

✑ Virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure if resources are available

✑ Automated initial virtual machine placement

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2

✑ Memory sharing techniques can be used

✑ Virtual machines should be protected from any host hardware failures

✑ Automated initial virtual machine placement

Which two recommendations should the architect make for placement of the virtual machines to meet resource profile requirements? (Choose two.)

Correct Answer: A, D

Virtual Machine Resource Profile 1 specifies that memory sharing techniques should not be used, virtual machines should be automatically restarted in the event of host failure if resources are available, and automated initial virtual machine placement. Cluster Two meets these requirements because Transparent Page Sharing (TPS) is disabled, indicating no memory sharing, and it supports automated initial virtual machine placement through Partially Automated DRS. Virtual Machine Resource Profile 2 allows memory sharing techniques, virtual machines should be protected from any host hardware failures, and automated initial virtual machine placement. Cluster One is suitable as it has TPS enabled, supporting memory sharing, and fully automated vSphere DRS for automated placement and proactive HA enabled to handle hardware failures.
