VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 65
Select 3You are tasked with deploying a new Virtual Infrastructure (VI) workload domain using VMware Cloud Foundation's SDDC Manager. During the deployment process, you need to ensure that the ESXi hosts are properly prepared and added to the workload domain. Which of the following steps are required to successfully complete this task?
- A
Ensure that the ESXi hosts have a minimum of two physical NICs configured with the required VLANs.
- B
Manually install vSphere on each ESXi host before adding them to the workload domain.
- C
Verify that the ESXi hosts meet the hardware requirements specified in the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation.
- D
Configure the appropriate license for the workload domain within SDDC Manager.
- E
Add the ESXi hosts to an existing vSphere cluster before initiating the workload domain deployment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, D
Explanation
To successfully deploy a VI workload domain, it is essential to ensure that the ESXi hosts meet the hardware and networking prerequisites, such as having the required number of NICs and VLAN configurations. VMware Cloud Foundation automates the installation of vSphere, so manual installation is unnecessary. Additionally, configuring the appropriate license ensures compliance and proper functionality of the workload domain. Adding the hosts to an existing vSphere cluster is not required as SDDC Manager handles cluster creation during deployment.
- A. Correct.
Correct. The ESXi hosts must be configured with a minimum of two physical NICs and the required VLANs to support VMware Cloud Foundation networking requirements.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect. SDDC Manager automates the installation and configuration of vSphere on the ESXi hosts during workload domain deployment. Manual installation is not required.
- C. Correct.
Correct. ESXi hosts must meet the hardware compatibility requirements outlined in the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation to ensure proper functionality.
- D. Correct.
Correct. Configuring the correct license for the workload domain is a required step within SDDC Manager to ensure compliance and proper functionality.
- E. Incorrect.
Incorrect. You do not need to add ESXi hosts to an existing vSphere cluster. SDDC Manager handles the creation of clusters during the workload domain deployment process.
