You are tasked to automate the installation and deployment of new host added into your company vSphere cluster using Auto Deploy. Ensure Auto Deploy and Image Builder is set to start automatically every time vCenter Server is restarted. Use the web client and VCSA0la to perform this step.
Confirm that the auto deploy plugin is available in the web interface. You may be required to logout and log back in after enabling the services.
The vCenter server is required to retrieve software from an online depot. You are to use the depot provided below and ensure that Auto Deploy is always running even, with restart of vCenter server.
Note: ignore error that you received on cannot connect to depot. This is expected due to vCSA do not have internet connection.
Create a deploy Rule on VCSA0la based on information below. You do not need to apply to any host at this time.
Your team is experiencing intermittent issues with esxi0la and you have been asked to configure the host to export its syslog data to a preconfigured syslog collector.
To complete this task, you must:
• Configure esxi0la.vciass.local to send syslog events to an external syslog collector on 172.20.10.10.
• Ensure that the ESXi host security policies allow the syslog traffic to pass.
You have been asked to create a new datastore for the Production cluster; however, the ESXi host esxi02a is not able to add the datastore. Your storage team has determined that there is nothing incorrect with the storage presentation.
Troubleshoot why host esxi02a is not able to create the datastore. Add the datastore to the host once the proper configuration has been applied, and then reboot the host!
Use the following information to complete this task;
• ESXi host: esxi02a
• Datastore Name: new_datastore
• Datastore target: iSCSI Target
• Datastore LUN: 4
• Reboot the host
Due to budget constraints, the development team must place its virtual machines on the same ESXi hosts as the production virtual machines. In order to prevent resource contention caused by the development workload, you must limit their resources.
On Cluster PROD-A create a resource pool under this cluster for future development VMs. Create a 4 GHz CPU limit and a 256 MB memory limit
• Cluster Name: PROD-A
• Resource Pool Name: DevRP
• CPU Limit: 4 GHz
• Memory Limit: 256 MB
The company's IT strategy is to adopt innovative and emerging technologies such as software-defined storage solution. The IT team has decided to run their business-critical workloads on an all-flash Virtual SAN (vSAN) as it provides excellent performance.
The IT team has purchased servers that are compatible with vSAN. However, all the solid-state drives (SSD) in the servers are shown incorrectly as hard-disk drives (HDD) instead.
In addition, some of the solid-state drives (SSD) will be used for other purposes instead of vSAN and should not be part of the vSAN cluster. These are the requirements for the vSAN cluster:
•In each server, use the 3GB SSD as the cache tier and the 11GB SSD as the capacity tier
• As a result the vSAN cluster will use a total of six SSDs (three SSDs for caching and three SSDs for capacity
• Ensure all the disks that will be used for vSAN are shown correctly as SSDs
• Provide storage savings by using deduplication and compression.
Next, the IT team wants to improve the performance and availability of the business-critical workloads on the vSAN-datastore.
Ensure the following configurations will be applied on existing and new workloads located on vSAN-datastore:
The new configurations should be applied by default.
You may create new storage policy but do not edit the default vSAN storage policy as it may be used by other vSAN clusters in the future. Name the policy "New vSAN Default'.
Nate-. All tasks should be executed in PROD-A host cluster.
