VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 109
Select 3You are tasked with adding a new cluster to an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain. Which of the following steps must be performed to successfully complete this task?
- A
Ensure the ESXi hosts in the new cluster are already commissioned in SDDC Manager.
- B
Configure the desired vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for the new cluster before adding it to the domain.
- C
Verify that the hosts in the new cluster have the same network configuration as the existing domain.
- D
Use the VMware Cloud Foundation API to manually register the new cluster after completing its deployment.
- E
Select the workload domain in SDDC Manager and use the 'Add Cluster' wizard to integrate the new cluster.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To add a cluster to an existing VMware Cloud Foundation workload domain, the ESXi hosts must first be commissioned in SDDC Manager. The new cluster must also have a compatible network configuration matching the existing domain. Finally, the 'Add Cluster' wizard in SDDC Manager is used to integrate the new cluster into the domain, ensuring all necessary configurations are applied during the process.
- A. Correct.
The ESXi hosts need to be commissioned in SDDC Manager before they can be added to a workload domain. This is a mandatory prerequisite in VMware Cloud Foundation.
- B. Incorrect.
Configuring the vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for the new cluster is not required prior to adding it to the workload domain. The vDS will be configured during the cluster addition process.
- C. Correct.
The new cluster's hosts must have the same network configuration (such as VLANs and IP address ranges) as the existing domain to ensure compatibility and proper integration.
- D. Incorrect.
The VMware Cloud Foundation API is not typically used to manually register a new cluster in this scenario. The SDDC Manager provides a guided process for adding clusters.
- E. Correct.
Using the 'Add Cluster' wizard within SDDC Manager is the correct method for integrating a new cluster into an existing workload domain. This is an essential step in the process.
