VMware Updated 2V0-13.25 Exam Questions and Answers by judah

The constraint forces the use of the existing array. However, there’s a risk that performance/capacity may be insufficient. VMware’s best practice for risk mitigation in RACR is to plan for contingency.

A is correct because securing budget allocation for additional hardware addresses the risk if the array cannot meet requirements.

B (RAID mirroring) improves redundancy, not performance or capacity.

C contradicts the constraint (cannot ignore existing array).

D (extra Fibre Channel switches) doesn’t address storage array performance/capacity.

Thus, the best mitigation is budget planning for new hardware if the array fails to meet requirements.

The VCF Identity Broker (VIDB) enables integration with enterprise identity systems and supports MFA. To reduce operational overhead:

Deploy VIDB once in the first VCF instance at DC01.

Point all additional VCF instances in the same private cloud to this VIDB.

This avoids deploying and managing multiple VIDB instances, reducing lifecycle overhead while still enabling 2FA.

Options A/B introduce unnecessary duplication. Option C centralizes in DC02, but requirement specifies DC01 is primary.

Since the constraint is existing stretched cluster model, the design assumes a single cluster across two sites.

To meet the minimize downtime requirement, the Single Management Zone Supervisor with HA control plane ensures control plane resiliency within that stretched cluster.

Options with “Simple Availability” do not meet the high availability requirement. Options with three zones are not applicable because the constraint specifies a stretched cluster model.

In a VCF Fleet with Disaster Recovery (AZ model):

vCenter is replicated to ensure management of vSphere workloads continues after a site failure.

NSX is replicated for networking continuity (segments, TEPs, Edge services).

Other components:

SDDC Manager is fleet-level and not replicated per AZ.

VCF Automation and VCF Operations are optional add-ons and not replicated automatically by the DR model.

Thus, vCenter and NSX are replicated across AZs for resiliency.
