VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 67
Select 4You are tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment. Before proceeding, which prerequisites must be validated to ensure a successful deployment?
- A
Ensure that sufficient capacity is available in the management domain cluster.
- B
Verify that NSX-T segments are configured and available for the workload domain network traffic.
- C
Confirm that the desired vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) version is compatible with the VMware Cloud Foundation version.
- D
Ensure that the required license keys for vSphere, vSAN, and NSX-T are already applied.
- E
Check that the ESXi hosts intended for the workload domain are in maintenance mode.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, C, D
Explanation
Deploying a VI Workload Domain requires careful validation of several prerequisites to ensure a smooth deployment process. These include checking available capacity in the management domain, verifying network configurations (such as NSX-T segments), ensuring compatibility of the vSphere Distributed Switch version, and applying the necessary license keys. However, ESXi hosts do not need to be in maintenance mode; they must be ready to be added to the workload domain instead.
- A. Correct.
Ensuring sufficient capacity in the management domain cluster is critical for deploying a VI Workload Domain as it hosts essential services and resources.
- B. Correct.
NSX-T segments need to be configured and available since they are required for networking within the workload domain.
- C. Correct.
The vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) version must be compatible with the VMware Cloud Foundation version to avoid configuration or compatibility issues during deployment.
- D. Correct.
License keys for vSphere, vSAN, and NSX-T must be applied before deploying the workload domain, as they are required for enabling and configuring these features.
- E. Incorrect.
Placing ESXi hosts in maintenance mode is not a prerequisite for deploying a VI Workload Domain. Instead, the hosts must be available and not already part of another workload domain.
