VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 44
Select 3While preparing to deploy an NSX Edge Cluster in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment, which prerequisites must be validated to ensure a successful deployment?
- A
Ensure that the ESXi hosts where the NSX Edge VMs will be deployed have sufficient CPU and memory resources available.
- B
Verify that the NSX Manager and vCenter Server are configured with valid DNS and NTP settings.
- C
Confirm that the NSX Edge Cluster deployment is performed using a dedicated NSX license.
- D
Validate that the appropriate network segments or VLANs for the uplink interfaces of the NSX Edge are already configured in the environment.
- E
Check that Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is disabled on the cluster where the NSX Edge VMs will be deployed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D
Explanation
Deploying an NSX Edge Cluster requires validating key prerequisites such as ensuring sufficient host resources, proper DNS and NTP configurations, and pre-configuration of necessary network segments or VLANs. These steps ensure the NSX Edge VMs can be deployed successfully and operate effectively. Misunderstandings, such as requiring a dedicated NSX license or disabling DRS, are not part of the prerequisites for this deployment.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Ensuring that the ESXi hosts have sufficient CPU and memory resources is critical for deploying NSX Edge VMs. Without adequate resources, the deployment will fail or result in performance issues.
- B. Correct.
Correct: Proper DNS and NTP configurations are essential for communication and time synchronization between NSX components, such as NSX Manager and vCenter Server.
- C. Incorrect.
Incorrect: NSX Edge Cluster deployment does not require a separate or dedicated NSX license. It utilizes the license assigned to the NSX Manager and the overall infrastructure.
- D. Correct.
Correct: Network segments or VLANs required for uplink interfaces must be pre-configured and validated to ensure seamless connectivity for the NSX Edge.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect: Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) does not need to be disabled for NSX Edge VM deployment. In fact, enabling DRS can help with resource optimization for the Edge VMs.
