Vmware Certified Advanced Professional 6.5 Data Center Virtualization Design

A database administrator is operating a virtual machine (VM) configured with 16 vCPU and 64GB of RAM. A recent performance audit has indicated that this virtual machine is oversized and is using less than 60% of its configured CPU and memory capacity. The ESXi host that contains this VM has 2 physical processors with 10 cores per processor, and 128GB of RAM. This physical host's architecture is split into two equal NUMA nodes. Which vCPU and RAM configuration for the VM allows for the most resources, but also provides the performance benefit of local NUMA access?

When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released?

A solution architect has made the following design decisions:
Leverage existing hardware that is certified on earlier versions of vSphere but is NOT on HCL for ESXi 6.5.
Upgrade vCenter Server to version 6.5.
Configure separate clusters based on ESXi versions 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 for newly purchased, certified hardware.
The underlying CPU family is compatible.
There is enough resources available to vMotion virtual machines (VMs).
Given this scenario, what is the correct statement about the ability to vMotion virtual machines between versions of ESXi?

A company is in the process of deploying a modern video-streaming application. The application is able to scale (expand and collapse) its streaming nodes in the form of CentOS 7.x 64bit virtual machines, based on demand. This IO-Intensive application has a high CPU demand and generates a significant number of disk operations (IOPS). To host the application, the company decided to implement a brand-new VMware cluster with vSphere 6.x. The company would like a significant reduction in CPU utilization as well as possible increase in throughput. Which virtual disk adapter should be recommended for the company's physical design?

A customer has storage arrays from two different storage vendors at two different sites. The customer wants to restore operations at the secondary site in the event of a disaster. Which VMware technology must be used to meet this requirement?

A developer is tasked with building an application to process shipping requests. The developer is consulting the vSphere team to determine failover options and performance best practices. The development team is providing three physical ESXi hosts with 8 CPU cores and 256GB of RAM per host. The developer does NOT know how many virtual machines they will require. Which virtual machine (VM) sizing strategy will provide the highest level of uptime, individual VM performance, and failover capacity?

A customer is using a vSphere APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA) compatible storage array. The VASA provider is published as a virtual appliance. To ensure recoverability, where must the VASA provider and vCenter server virtual machines be stored?

A customer wants to make its data available with a RPO of 10 minutes. Replication to the second data center will be done using the network. Which type of storage configuration should be used?

After the vSAN iSCSI Target service is enabled, which statement about iSCSI networks is true?

A company has developers located in Eastern Europe (EE) and a QA Department in Bermuda. The company is planning to create an environment based on a blueprint of 4-8 virtual machines for each of the developers and one for every QA project. The proposed configuration will allow each developer to work independently and be able to collapse and re-create the environment as needed. QA Teams will be able to recreate the environment that is required for a specific application. Individual virtual machines in the blueprint are being continually updated with newly available software packages. The company is planning to use the vSphere Content Library to store images and synchronize them between sites. Which four supported configurations can the company implement? (Choose four.)
