350-401 Question 86
Select 3An organization is deploying Cisco DNA Center in their network environment using virtual machines. The network administrator needs to ensure the virtual machine is properly configured to meet the minimum requirements for Cisco DNA Center. Which of the following configurations are mandatory for the virtual machine to operate correctly?
- A
At least 8 CPU cores assigned to the virtual machine
- B
A minimum of 256 GB of RAM allocated to the virtual machine
- C
A 1 TB hard disk drive with RAID configured
- D
The virtual machine must be deployed on VMware ESXi 6.5 or later
- E
Enable nested virtualization in the hypervisor settings
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: B, C, D
Explanation
Cisco DNA Center is a resource-intensive application that requires specific hardware and software configurations when deployed on a virtual machine. Meeting the minimum requirements such as 256 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage with RAID, and VMware ESXi 6.5 or later ensures the virtual machine can handle the demands of the application. However, enabling nested virtualization and assigning fewer CPU cores than required would prevent the solution from functioning correctly.
- A. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because Cisco DNA Center requires at least 16 CPU cores for proper operation, depending on the scale of deployment.
- B. Correct.
This is correct because Cisco DNA Center has a minimum memory requirement of 256 GB RAM to handle its services and processes.
- C. Correct.
This is correct because Cisco DNA Center requires at least 1 TB of storage, and RAID configuration is recommended for data redundancy and performance.
- D. Correct.
This is correct because Cisco DNA Center is supported on VMware ESXi 6.5 or later, which is a mandatory requirement.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because nested virtualization is not a requirement for Cisco DNA Center deployments.
