VMware 3V0-23.25 Sample Question Answers

Question # 1

A customer attaches an external Fibre Channel (FC) VMFS datastore to a VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) workload domain for backup staging. The administrator must confirm that the datastore is visible to all hosts, and that path and device health alarms will trigger should a fabric link or path fail. Which action should the administrator take to verify this?

A. Run esxcli vsan storage list on each host to view VMFS datastore path status.  
B. In vCenter verify the external VMFS datastore connectivity, paths and multipath health.  
C. Execute storage.monitor.getStatus via VCF SDK to receive a consolidated health summary of all VMFS, vSAN and NFS datastores.  
D. Use esxcli fc adapter list followed by vmkfstools --inspectpaths to validate health for the VMFS LUN.

Question # 3

An administrator has been tasked with suggesting storage models for a new VMware CloudFoundation (VCF) Private Cloud. The following information has been provided:• All existing implementations of VMware vSphere use the existing third-party block-basedstorage solution.• The block-based storage solution only has sufficient scale, capacity and IOPS to cater forthe new workload storage requirements.• There is a dedicated and highly resilient storage area network connecting hosts to theprovided block-based storage.• There are 5 existing hosts with enough CPU and RAM resources and resilient Host BusAdapters (HBAs) to cater for the new workload resource requirements only.• There is sufficient budget to purchase some hardware, however the solution must re-usethe existing hardware where possible.The administrator suggests the following high-level solution:• Single VCF Instance with a single Workload Domain.• Deploy 4 new servers to create a Management Domain.• Repurpose the 5 existing servers to create a single cluster in the Workload Domain.Which two storage models should the administrator recommend? (Choose two.)

A. iSCSI should be the supplemental storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.  
B. iSCSI should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Management Domain.  
C. Fibre Channel should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.  
C. Fibre Channel should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.  
E. VMware vSAN should be the principal storage solution for the VCF Workload Domain.

What should the administrator recommend meeting the requirement?

A. Migrate Management Domain storage to a new cluster.  
B. Increase the VMFS principal storage allocation.  
C. Attach additional NFS volumes or iSCSI datastores.  
D. Replace all existing datastores with NVMe devices.

Question # 6

An administrator is presented with the following scenario:• 20 TB of additional storage is being requested by a VM application owner.• The application has high CPU/Memory requirements that can only be satisfied by thecurrent cluster the application runs in.• The application has high IOPS and bandwidth requirements to run properly.• The existing vSAN cluster only has 10 TB of unused capacity.• The hosts in the cluster have no additional NVMe slots left.• The administrator does not have permission to purchase additional hosts or re-assignhosts from other vSAN clusters.• Other vSAN clusters exist in the environment that can satisfy the requirement.Which vSAN feature should be used to fulfill this scenario?

A. vSAN HCI Mesh  
B. vSAN Data Protection  
C. vSAN File Services  
D. vSAN Stretched Clusters
