VCP-VCF Administrator 2024 Question 95
Select 4Your organization has a VMware Cloud Foundation deployment with three workload domains, and you need to scale the environment by adding additional ESXi hosts to one of the workload domains. Which of the following steps are required to ensure a successful scaling operation?
- A
Verify that the new ESXi hosts are listed in the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) for VMware Cloud Foundation.
- B
Ensure that the new ESXi hosts are configured with the same CPU and memory resources as the existing hosts in the workload domain.
- C
Manually install the VMware vSphere components on the new ESXi hosts before adding them to the workload domain.
- D
Add the new ESXi hosts to the SDDC Manager inventory before assigning them to the workload domain.
- E
Run the 'Expand Cluster' workflow in SDDC Manager to automatically add the new hosts to the workload domain.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answers: A, B, D, E
Explanation
To scale a VMware Cloud Foundation deployment by adding ESXi hosts to a workload domain, it is essential to confirm hardware compatibility with the VMware Compatibility Guide, ensure resource uniformity across cluster hosts, and use SDDC Manager workflows to automate the process. Manual installation of vSphere components is unnecessary as SDDC Manager handles this automatically.
- A. Correct.
This is correct because the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) ensures hardware compatibility with VMware Cloud Foundation.
- B. Correct.
This is correct because maintaining uniformity in CPU and memory resources across hosts in a cluster prevents issues such as vMotion incompatibilities.
- C. Incorrect.
This is incorrect because VMware Cloud Foundation automates the process of deploying vSphere components during the host addition process.
- D. Correct.
This is correct because hosts must first be added to the SDDC Manager inventory before they can be assigned to a workload domain.
- E. Correct.
This is correct because the 'Expand Cluster' workflow in SDDC Manager is the supported method for adding hosts to a workload domain in VMware Cloud Foundation.
