VMware Exam 3V0-21.23 Topic 3 Question 11 Discussion

Actual exam question for VMware's 3V0-21.23 exam

Question #: 11
Topic #: 3

An architect is designing a new vSphere solution. The solution will be used to host workloads that have multiple dependencies. The customer provides the following information regarding the workloads:

Workload 1: Self-Service Portal

Workload 2: Database

Workload 3: Identity Broker

Workload 4: Reporting Tool

Workload 5: Management Tool

Application A is formed of workloads 1 and 2 and has a dependency on workload 3

Application B is formed of workloads 2 and 4 and has a dependency on workload 3

Application C is formed of workload 5 and has a dependency on workload 4

How should the architect document the vSphere HA requirements to ensure that all of the applications can be recovered in the event of a host failure while observing the dependencies?

ASet vSphere HA to Restart VMs in response to a Host Failure
Set the Restart Priority of workload 3 to High
Set the Restart Priority of workload 4 to Medium
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 1, 2 and 5 to Low

BSet vSphere HA to Shut Down and Restart VMs in response to a Host Isolation
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 3 and 4 to High
Set the Restart Priority of workload 5 to Medium
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 1 and 2 to Low

CSet vSphere HA to Restart VMs in response to a Host Failure
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 3 and 4 to High
Set the Restart Priority of workload 5 to Medium
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 1 and 2 to Low

DSet vSphere HA to Shut Down and Restart VMs in response to a Host Isolation
Set the Restart Priority of workload 3 to High
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 4 and 5 to Medium
Set the Restart Priority of workloads 1 and 2 to Low

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

The goal here is to ensure that, in the event of a host failure, the workloads are restarted in the correct order based on their dependencies:

Workload 3 (Identity Broker) is required by both Application A and Application B as a dependency. It needs to be set to High Restart Priority, ensuring that it is restarted before the other dependent workloads.

Workload 4 (Reporting Tool) is required by Application B and Application C, so it should be set to High Restart Priority to ensure it is available before the other dependent workloads (like Workload 5).

Workload 5 (Management Tool) is required by Application C and should have a Medium Restart Priority, meaning it will be restarted after Workload 4.

Workloads 1 and 2 (Self-Service Portal and Database) have Low Restart Priority because they are dependent on Workload 3 (and Workload 4), but they do not have further critical dependencies after Workload 3, so they should be restarted last in the event of a failure.

This setup ensures that all applications can be recovered properly in the event of a host failure, with each workload restarting in the correct order to maintain the application dependencies.

I think the architect should document the vSphere HA requirements based on the dependencies of the applications.

Ha! Can you imagine if the architect set the Reporting Tool to low priority? The customer would be like, 'Wait, where's my data?' Gotta keep those dependencies in mind, am I right?

I think option C is the way to go. It ensures that the critical dependencies, like the Identity Broker and Reporting Tool, are restarted first, while the less important workloads like the Self-Service Portal and Database are lower priority.
