A systems administrator has recently added newly-commissioned hosts in the the VI workload domain, and IP addresses are automatically configured to their associated network pool. The administrator reviews which storage options require only vMotion and NFS networks in the network pool. Which two storage options have this requirement? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: B,E
Explanation According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation on network requirements, vSAN requires only the vMotion and NFS networks to be configured in the network pool. This is because vSAN traffic can be carried over the vMotion network, and the NFS network is needed to support the use of NFS datastores [1]. NFS is a file-based storage protocol that can be accessed over IP networks. It does not require any special hardware or software, and can be accessed by any device that supports the NFS protocol [2]. As such, it only requires the NFS network to be configured in the network pool. Therefore, the correct answers are B. NFS and E. vSAN.
Question 103
Which two configurations are part of the VMware Cloud Builder validation process? (Choose two.)
Correct Answer: A,E
Explanation According to VMware Cloud Foundation Planning and Preparation Workbook, two of the configurations that are part of the VMware Cloud Builder validation process are: * License key: Validates format, validity, and expiry for ESX, vSAN, vCenter Server, NSX, vRealize Suite, and Log Insight license keys * Passwords: Validates specified passwords Checks for minimum length, invalid characters, and format
Question 104
An architect is designing networking for a developer-ready infrastructure on VMware Cloud Foundation. Which use case would require the architect to consider a CIDR range larger than /27 for Egress?
A systems administrator is tasked to deploy VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) and has already deployed the VMware Cloud Builder appliance. What is the next step the systems administrator should take?
Correct Answer: B
The next step the systems administrator should take is to prepare and configure the ESXi hosts to be used in the deployment. According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation1, before you can deploy the management domain using VMware Cloud Builder, you must prepare the ESXi hosts that will be part of the management domain and the VI workload domains. You need to install ESXi on the hosts, configure the network settings, claim disks for vSAN, and optionally configure certificates for the hosts. You can use different methods to prepare the ESXi hosts, such as using a custom ISO image, using the VMware Imaging Appliance, or installing ESXi interactively1 Uploading the Deployment Parameter Workbook is not the next step, because it is done after preparing the ESXi hosts. The Deployment Parameter Workbook is a spreadsheet that contains all the parameters required for deploying VMware Cloud Foundation, such as IP addresses, host names, passwords, and license keys. You need to download and complete the workbook before uploading it to VMware Cloud Builder1 Configuring the Management Domain using custom certificates is not the next step, because it is an optional step that can be done after deploying the management domain. Custom certificates are used to secure the communication between the components of VMware Cloud Foundation, such as SDDC Manager, vCenter Server, and NSX-T Manager. You can use either self-signed certificates or certificates signed by a certificate authority (CA)1 Deploying the Management Domain using VMware Cloud Builder is not the next step, because it is done after preparing the ESXi hosts and uploading the Deployment Parameter Workbook. The management domain is the first domain that is deployed in VMware Cloud Foundation, and it contains the components for managing and operating the SDDC platform, such as SDDC Manager, vCenter Server, NSX-T Manager, and NSX Edge nodes. You use VMware Cloud Builder to deploy the management domain by following a guided workflow on its UI1
