Question No. 1
Task 1
An administrator has been asked to configure a storage for a distributed application which uses large data sets across multiple worker VMs.
The worker VMs must run on every node. Data resilience is provided at the application level and low cost per GB is a Key Requirement.
Configure the storage on the cluster to meet these requirements. Any new object created should include the phrase Distributed_App in the name.
A. See the Explanation fo rstep by step solution
Answer: A
Question No. 2
Task 2
An administrator needs to configure storage for a Citrix-based Virtual Desktop infrastructure.
Two VDI pools will be created
Non-persistent pool names MCS_Pool for tasks users using MCS Microsoft Windows 10 virtual Delivery Agents (VDAs)
Persistent pool named Persist_Pool with full-clone Microsoft Windows 10 VDAs for power users
20 GiB capacity must be guaranteed at the storage container level for all power user VDAs
The power user container should not be able to use more than 100 GiB
Storage capacity should be optimized for each desktop pool.
Configure the storage to meet these requirements. Any new object created should include the name of the pool(s) (MCS and/or Persist) that will use the object.
Do not include the pool name if the object will not be used by that pool.
Any additional licenses required by the solution will be added later.

Answer: A
Question No. 3
Task 3
An administrator needs to assess performance gains provided by AHV Turbo at the guest level. To perform the test the administrator created a Windows 10 VM named Turbo with the following configuration.
8 GB RAM
SATA Controller
40 GB vDisk
The stress test application is multi-threaded capable, but the performance is not as expected with AHV Turbo enabled. Configure the VM to better leverage AHV Turbo.
Note: Do not power on the VM. Configure or prepare the VM for configuration as best you can without powering it on.
A. See the Explanation fo rstep by step solution
Answer: A
Question No. 4
Task4
An administrator will be deploying Flow Networking and needs to validate that the environment, specifically switch vs1, is appropriately configured. Only VPC traffic should be carried by the switch.
Four versions each of two possible commands have been placed in Desktop\Files\Network\flow.txt. Remove the hash mark (#) from the front of correct First command and correct Second command and save the file.
Only one hash mark should be removed from each section. Do not delete or copy lines, do not add additional lines. Any changes other than removing two hash marks (#) will result in no credit.
Also, SSH directly to any AHV node (not a CVM) in the cluster and from the command line display an overview of the Open vSwitch configuration. Copy and paste this to a new text file named Desktop\Files\Network\AHVswitch.txt.
Note: You will not be able to use the 192.168.5.0 network in this environment.
First command
#net.update_vpc_traffic_config virtual_switch=vs0
net.update_vpc_traffic_config virtual_switch=vs1
#net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config virtual_switch=vs0
#net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config virtual_switch=vs1
Second command
#net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config permit_all_traffic=true
net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config permit_vpc_traffic=true
#net.update_vpc_east_west_traffic_config permit_all_traffic=false
A. See the Explanation fo rstep by step solution
Answer: A
Question No. 5
Task 5
An administrator has been informed that a new workload requires a logically segmented network to meet security requirements.
Network configuration:
VLAN: 667
Network: 192.168.0.0
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
DNS server: 34.82.231.220
Default Gateway: 192.168.0.1
Domain: cyberdyne.net
IP Pool: 192.168.9.100-200
DHCP Server IP: 192.168.0.2
Configure the cluster to meet the requirements for the new workload if new objects are required, start the name with 667.
