An organization is deploying VMware Cloud Foundation and needs to understand the management domain's role. Which statement best describes the primary function of the management domain in a VCF architecture?

A VCF administrator notices that vSAN performance metrics show increased latency during peak hours. The cluster has 8 hosts with all-flash configuration. Which approach should be taken first to investigate the performance issue?

During a VCF lifecycle management operation, an administrator needs to update the NSX components across multiple workload domains. What is the recommended approach using SDDC Manager?

A VCF environment experiences a failure where ESXi hosts cannot communicate with vCenter Server. The administrator can ping the hosts but vCenter shows them as disconnected. What is the most likely cause and initial troubleshooting step?

An administrator is designing a VCF deployment for a customer who requires separate failure domains for different business units while maintaining centralized management. Which VCF architectural component best addresses this requirement?

A VCF administrator needs to monitor network performance for NSX overlay traffic. Which metric combination would provide the most comprehensive view of overlay network performance?

During a planned maintenance window, an administrator needs to replace a failed disk in a vSAN cluster that is part of a VCF workload domain. What is the correct procedure to minimize impact?

A VCF environment is experiencing intermittent VM performance issues. Analysis shows that some VMs are experiencing CPU ready time exceeding 10%. What does this indicate and what should be investigated?

An administrator needs to troubleshoot connectivity issues between VMs on different NSX segments. The VMs cannot communicate despite being in the same transport zone. What should be checked first?

A company wants to implement automated remediation for common VCF alerts. Which component and feature should be leveraged?

During a VCF upgrade, the administrator notices that the pre-check validation in SDDC Manager has failed with warnings about insufficient disk space on ESXi hosts. What is the appropriate action?

An organization needs to scale a VCF workload domain by adding new hosts. What are the key prerequisites that must be verified before adding hosts through SDDC Manager?

A VCF administrator observes that vSAN resynchronization is consuming significant bandwidth and impacting production workloads. What configuration can be adjusted to control the impact while still allowing resynchronization to complete?

An administrator needs to replace an NSX Edge node in a VCF environment. What is the recommended procedure to minimize service disruption?

A VCF environment experiences a complete management domain vCenter Server failure. What is the recovery approach?

An organization is designing a VCF architecture for a multi-tenant environment where tenants require network isolation and independent NSX configurations. What architectural approach best meets these requirements?

A VCF administrator is troubleshooting poor storage performance and notices that the vSAN witness host is experiencing high latency to the data hosts. The environment uses a stretched cluster configuration. What impact does this have and what should be addressed?

An enterprise is implementing capacity management for their VCF environment. Which combination of metrics and tools provides the most comprehensive capacity planning capability?

A VCF environment needs to implement a certificate management strategy. An administrator must replace expiring certificates across all VCF components. What is the recommended approach for managing certificates in VCF?

An organization running VCF needs to implement a disaster recovery strategy. They have two sites 500 miles apart. Which architecture and technology combination provides the best RPO/RTO for critical workloads while considering network latency constraints?
