Select 3An administrator is tasked with deploying a new VI Workload Domain using VMware Cloud Foundation's SDDC Manager. During the deployment, the administrator needs to ensure proper network configuration and resource allocation. Which steps must be followed to successfully deploy the VI Workload Domain?
- A
Define the cluster name and workload domain details in SDDC Manager.
- B
Manually install ESXi on all hosts before creating the workload domain.
- C
Configure vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) settings and assign VLANs during the deployment process.
- D
Select the appropriate vSAN storage policies for the workloads during the deployment.
- E
Add compatible hosts to the available host pool via SDDC Manager before starting the deployment.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, C, E
Explanation
To successfully deploy a VI Workload Domain using SDDC Manager, administrators must define the workload domain details, configure network settings such as vDS and VLANs, and ensure compatible hosts are added to the host pool. SDDC Manager automates the imaging process, so manual ESXi installation is unnecessary. Storage policies for workloads are configured after the workload domain is deployed, not during the deployment process.
- A. Correct.
Correct: Defining the cluster name and workload domain details in SDDC Manager is a required step to deploy a VI Workload Domain. These details are prompted during the deployment wizard.
- B. Incorrect.
Incorrect: The ESXi hosts do not need to be manually installed. SDDC Manager automates host imaging as a part of the deployment process, provided compatible hosts exist in the available host pool.
- C. Correct.
Correct: During the deployment of the VI Workload Domain, network settings such as vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS) configuration and VLAN assignment must be defined.
- D. Incorrect.
Incorrect: While storage policies are essential for workloads, they are not selected during the deployment of the VI Workload Domain. This step is typically performed later when configuring individual workloads.
- E. Correct.
Correct: Hosts must be added to the available host pool in SDDC Manager before initiating the deployment process, as they will be allocated to the new workload domain.
