2V0-41.24 Question 268
Select 3You are tasked with deploying VMware NSX-T Data Center for a customer. During the deployment, you need to ensure that the NSX Manager cluster is highly available and properly configured. Which of the following steps are essential to achieve this objective?
- A
Deploy three NSX Manager nodes and configure them in a cluster.
- B
Use a single NSX Manager node to simplify deployment and ensure HA.
- C
Configure VIP (Virtual IP) for the NSX Manager cluster.
- D
Enable the Cluster Control Plane feature in the NSX Manager UI.
- E
Ensure all NSX Manager nodes are deployed on separate ESXi hosts.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To ensure high availability of the NSX Manager cluster, it is essential to deploy three NSX Manager nodes in a cluster, configure a VIP for seamless failover, and deploy the nodes on separate ESXi hosts to prevent a single point of failure. These steps collectively provide fault tolerance, redundancy, and operational continuity.
- A. Correct.
Deploying three NSX Manager nodes and clustering them is a critical step to ensure high availability and fault tolerance.
- B. Incorrect.
Using a single NSX Manager node does not provide high availability and is not recommended for production environments.
- C. Correct.
Configuring a Virtual IP (VIP) for the NSX Manager cluster allows clients to interact with the cluster using a single endpoint, ensuring seamless failover and high availability.
- D. Incorrect.
The Cluster Control Plane feature is not a configuration option in the NSX Manager UI; NSX Manager clustering is handled automatically once nodes are deployed and added correctly.
- E. Correct.
Deploying NSX Manager nodes on separate ESXi hosts ensures redundancy in case of a host failure, which is a best practice for high availability.
