Customer Information
The Customer labtown is looking to purchase a new storage system and has hired you to create a logical design. Labtown requires no single points of failure when it comes to the fabric connecting the storage. Labtown has already decided that the new storage system will be using fibre to re-use as much of the previous hardware as possible to increase ROI. Labotwn would also like a tiered disk system broken into three categories with the database sitting in the fastest tier, the two web servers sitting in the medium tier, and the file server sitting in the slowest tier.
Create a logical design for Labtowns new Storage System
Requirements
- Create a tiered storage system for Labtown - No single points of failure - Insure storage performance SLA's are met with the four line of business VM's
Instructions
- Place VM's on the bottom of the page and connect them with the connector to the storage LUN they will belong to.
- Connect the storage LUN with the service processor with the connector
- Connect the storage processors to the SAN switch
- Place HBA's just below the host, as long as they are close to the host points will be scored
- Connect HBA's to SAN switches with either the Fixed, MRU, or RR Connector to dictate the PSP Policy for storage on the ESXi host.
Customer Information
The Customer Labtown has a new vSphere 5 environment with one of their line of business applications recently being virtulized. Labtown requires that their Webserver, Database Server, and Fileserver for their line of business app be created into a vAPP. The VM's should start up in a specific order to insure the application starts correctly after an outage or reboot. Labtown also wants the best performance possible out of each VM. There is three hosts in the cluster each running the same CPU and Memory specifications. each host is running at 60% utilization right now. Labtown doesn't have any budget for more hosts.
Create a logical vAPP design for Labtowns Line of Business Application
Requirements
- The server must boot in the following order: DB, Fileserver, WebServer
- Each VM must perform the best it can with the current cluster configuration
Instructions
- Place the three VM's on the vAPP
- Place the boot order boxes on top of each VM to indicate the VM's boot order
- Place the VM stencil for each VM in the DRS rules section if you wish to apply DRS rules to the design
- As long as VM's are on the vAPP stencil marks will be scored
A company has a database server that requires intensive random write performance on its traditional iSCSI storage running in RAID LUNs.
*Currently, it is running on a physical server.
*The customer would like to consolidate its existing environment by virtualizing.
When architects a vSphere 6.5 design, which three components would ensure storage performance and availability? (Choose three.)
A solution architect has been tasked with designing a new environment that meets the growing needs of a company, and has obtained this information:
* Each new server will use a single 2-port 10Gb Converged Network Adapter (CNA) for both network and storage access.
* The network team has replaced all network equipment with a 10Gb fabric.
* The new environment will host both web servers and Oracle database servers.
* Resources will not be overcommitted under regular upon at ions to mitigate performance issues.
* The business needs a tool to understand application failures.
* $1million has been budgeted for the data center expansion project.
Based this information, which two statements are requirements for the new design? (Choose two.)
The number of virtual machines running on a storage device can impact storage throughput and latency. Which two VMware-recommended datastore designs will optimize performance? (Choose two.)
