VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 116
Select 2You have an existing VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) deployment with a management domain already configured. Your team is planning to add a new workload domain to host business-critical applications. During the process of creating the workload domain, which two steps are mandatory to ensure proper configuration and deployment?
- A
Ensure that the required NSX-T Edge Cluster is deployed and configured prior to workload domain creation.
- B
Allocate a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) for workload domain networking.
- C
Verify that sufficient capacity is available in the vSAN storage pool for the workload domain.
- D
Obtain IP address pools for the workload domain that include management, vMotion, and vSAN traffic.
- E
Manually install ESXi on the hosts before adding them to the workload domain.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, D
Explanation
To successfully add a workload domain to an existing VMware Cloud Foundation deployment, it is essential to have the required NSX-T Edge Cluster configured beforehand to support network services. Additionally, IP address pools for management, vMotion, and vSAN traffic must be prepared and provided during the workload domain creation process. Other tasks, such as vDS configuration and ESXi installation, are handled automatically by the VMware Cloud Foundation workflow.
- A. Correct.
This is correct. NSX-T Edge Clusters must be deployed and configured to provide networking functionality (e.g., routing, load balancing) for the workload domain.
- B. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. vSphere Distributed Switches (vDS) are configured automatically during the workload domain creation process, so manual allocation is not required.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. vSAN capacity is important but is not a mandatory step during the workload domain creation process, as the system will validate available capacity automatically.
- D. Correct.
This is correct. IP address pools for management, vMotion, and vSAN traffic must be pre-configured as they are required during the workload domain creation wizard.
- E. Incorrect.
This is incorrect. VMware Cloud Foundation deploys and configures ESXi on the hosts as part of the workload domain creation process, so manual installation is not necessary.
