Explanation:
A hypervisor is a layer of software that runs directly on top of a physical server and provides a virtualization layer. It allows multiple virtual machines (VMs) to run on the same physical hardware, sharing the underlying resources such as CPU, memory, and storage. The hypervisor isolates the VMs from each other and provides a virtual machine monitor (VMM) that manages the virtual machines’
access to physical resources. The VMM is responsible for managing the VMs’ creation, configuration, and removal, as well as their access to the physical resources of the host system. T
An organization has an iSCSI storage system accessed by 20 compute systems running a hypervisor over a physical Ethernet network. The network enables the transfer of compute-to-compute, compute-to-storage, and management traffic.
The compute systems host several virtual machines that are accessed by 31 user groups. In addition, the network has two Ethernet core switches in an active/passive configuration and three edge switches that connect all the compute systems. Multiple VLAN trunk links exist between the core and the edge switches.
However, recently the user groups are experiencing performance issues due to excessive utilization of the core switch and the trunk links.
What can be implemented to minimize the performance issues?
- A . Switch aggregation
- B . VLAN tagging
- C . Self-forming network
- D . Discovery domain
What is an accurate statement about a virtual machine (VM) snapshot?
- A . Captures the state and data of a running VM at a specific point-in-time
- B . Provides the capability to delete the parent VM once the snapshot is created
- C . Runs as an independent copy from the parent VM
- D . Provides the capability to restore VM data to any point-in-time
Which VM file is used to keep a record of the VM’s activity and is often used for troubleshooting?
- A . Configuration file
- B . Virtual disk file
- C . Log file
- D . Memory state file
An organization plans to deploy a new application in their environment. The new application requires 3 TB of storage space. During peak workloads, the application is expected to generate 2450 IOPS with a typical I/O size of 2 KB.
The capacity of each available disk drive is 500 GB. The maximum number of IOPS a drive can perform at with 70 percent utilization is 90 IOPS.
What is the minimum number of disk drives needed to meet the application’s capacity and performance requirements given a RAID 0 configuration?
- A . 6
- B . 16
- C . 25
- D . 28
Which fabric service distributes SW-RSCNs to the other switches in a Fibre Channel SAN?
- A . Fabric controller
- B . Fabric login server
- C . Name server
- D . Fabric management server
