Discuss Citrix 1Y0-403 Exam Topic 3 Question 54

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new 2,000-user Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The environment will use Windows Server 2016 for all Site infrastructure components (Delivery Controllers, StoreFront servers, and Citrix Director). Machine Creation Services (MCS) will be used to provision Virtual Delivery Agent (VDA) machines. The environment will include 2 primary use cases:

Windows Server 2016 VDA machines providing hosted applications

Windows 10 VDA machines providing random, non-persistent VDI

The IT team has NOT yet purchased the hardware that will be used for the environment, and will build the Hardware Layer components based on the architect's recommendations.

How should the architect design the Citrix Hypervisor resource pools based on Citrix leading practices?

AWindows Server 2016 VDA machines should be placed in 1 resource pool, Windows 10 machines should be placed in a second resource pool, and the infrastructure servers should be placed in a third resource pool.

BWindows Server 2016 machines should be placed in 1 resource pool, and all Windows 10 machines should be placed in a second resource pool.

CThe infrastructure servers and all VDA machines should be located in 1 resource pool.

DThe infrastructure servers should be placed in 1 resource pool, and the VDA machines should be placed in a second resource pool.

Suggested Answer: D

I’m surprised they haven’t bought hardware yet, that’s a big step!

Wait, why would you mix infrastructure with VDA machines? Sounds risky!

Martha 12 months ago

Option D seems more efficient to me, though.

Totally agree, keeping them in separate pools is best practice.

Slyvia 1 year ago

I think option A makes the most sense for separation.

Barney 1 year ago

I’m leaning towards option D since it seems logical to keep infrastructure separate from the VDA machines, but I’m a bit uncertain about the performance implications.

Aja 1 year ago

I think option A makes sense because it keeps everything organized, but I feel like I might have seen a question where combining some of them was recommended.

I remember discussing how separating resource pools for different types of VDA machines can help with resource management, but I'm not sure if we should also separate infrastructure servers.

I recall that resource pools can impact load balancing, so maybe option B could work too, but I’m not confident about mixing the Windows Server and Windows 10 machines.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The question mentions the administrator wants to ensure data is distributed evenly, but I'm not sure if the index field would be the best way to check that. Maybe I should double-check the other options.

Kris 1 year ago

I've got a good feeling about this one. Based on my understanding of cloud storage, the fact that the files are stored remotely and dependent on internet access is the most likely issue. I'm going to go with option B.

Hmm, I'm not sure about this one. Synchronous replication could work, but I'm wondering if asynchronous might be a better option since it's more reliable. I'll have to think this through a bit more.

Kismet is a network sniffer, so that's probably not the right choice for automating a MITM attack. I'll focus on the other options.
