VMware VCAP5-DCD : Practice Test
Question No : 1
When designing a storage platform, which of the following should be considered as part of
the overall design?
A. Capacity
B. I/O requirements of the applications to be supported
C. Disk latency tolerance
D. Growth rate
E. All of the above
Answer: E
Explanation:
A storage platform logical design requires in-depth analysis of factors that can affect
applications.
In the case of storage, aspects that relate to the physical layer—such as the amount of
usable space requiredfor services; the size, number, and speed of disks; and how fast the
data is being produced—could have asubstantial impact to the storage platform.
Chapter 4, Storage Design - The Logical & Physical Approaches
Question No : 2
You are the technical designer for a vSphere platform transformation project. After
conducting SME interviewsand using various platform information-gathering methods, you
have created a high-level design document.
This document specifies the following:
Requirements:
R1. The solution must not have a single point of failure.
R2. Production applications must not have an outage of more than 10 seconds.
R3. Data must be based in the UK.
R4. There is a 7-year retention policy for contracts.
R5. Applications should support existing and developing workloads for the next 3 years’
growth.
www.CertificationKing.com 2
Spec of servers:
Web 1 vCPU, 2 GB RAM, 100 GB storage
App 1 vCPU, 4 GB RAM, 100 Gb storage
DB 2 vCPU, 16 GB RAM, 750 Gb storage
At a late stage in the software development life cycle of a production application developed
in-house, anunfortunate issue was identified when the application was deployed to the
production vSphere cluster. Theproduction core stacked switch has capacity issues, and
this is having a serious impact on all applications forwhich the switch is providing network
services. Within the test system, the application works as intended in thesingle test VLAN
and with a single-host configuration.
Which of the following could be tried to help in this situation, from a vSphere
perspective?(Choose two)
A. Redevelop the application for a virtual platform

B. Place the application into a single-vApp network
C. Add DRS rules to keep network traffic within the same host, where possible
D. Configure network I/O control
Answer: B,D
Explanation:
If you limit the application traffic to a specific dedicated network (that is, a separate VLAN)
andusing enforced DRS affinity rules, the application traffic will not traverse the ESXi host’s
physical networkinterfaces. This will ensure that the impact of the application is minimized,
while also ensuring that theapplication itself is not limited.
The application servers already have vCPU settings. This suggests that the system has
already beingvirtualized in both types of environments. Network I/O control could be useful
in the event of contention, but therole of a designer would be to plan to prevent contention
where possible; other options would be morebeneficial. In addition, Requirement 5
specifies that the system should work with workloads over the next 3years. Network I/O
control would suggest contention very early in the platform history.
Chapter 4, NetWork - Logical and Physical Design to allow applications to flow
Question No : 3
Based on the information in the high-level design extract fromquestion2, what storage
protocol is unsuitable?
A. NFS
B. iSCSI
C. FC
Answer: A
Explanation:
The requirements state that the application uptime requirements would not be met if using
vSphere HA alone. vSphere HA would invoke a restart of guest virtual machines after at
least 10 seconds.
VMware fault tolerance would meet the uptime requirements; a failover would result in zero
downtime of theapplication. This technology can be used only with VMFS; therefore, NFS
cannot be used in this design.
Chapter 4, NetWork - Logical and Physical Design to allow applications to flow
Question No : 4
Based on the information in the high-level design extract forquestion 2, which type of data
store would berequired?
A. VMFS
B. NFS
Answer: A
Explanation:
Because fault tolerance would be the only VMware technology that would meet the
technicalrequirements, VMFS is the only choice here.
Question No : 5
Which of the following vSphere cluster technologies would meet the application
requirements specified in thehigh-level design extract forquestion 2?
A. FT
B. HA
Answer: A
Explanation:
vSphere HA would need to wait at least 10 seconds before a restart would be possible.
Thiswould not meet requirements. In the event of a restart, it could be possible to be
without the application feeddatabase for about 15 minutes. VMware FT would enable the
service to be provided without additionalredevelopment.
Question No : 6
A project requirement _______________
A. must be achieved
B. can be set as aspirational but may never be achieved
Answer: A
Explanation:
A project requirement is a specific deliverable that the business has said must be provided
at theend of a project. It must always be achieved.
Question No : 7
A logical diagram shows vendor-specific information.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
A logical diagram shows the high-level components of a design or platform. It may
includedescriptions such as data flow and entity relationships. However, it does not show
specific vendors (such asDell or HP).

Question No : 8
Storage DRS is enabled by default.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
Question No : 9
Storage DRS can be enabled and can balance I/O levels based on _______________
A. real-time stats
B. historical stats
Answer: B
Explanation:
Storage DRS can balance I/O by using storage vMotion. This would be based on historical
valuesfor a period of time. Storage DRS would make decisions based on these figures. If
the system were using realtimestats, the machines could potentially migrate a lot more.
This could have an effect on the latency figuresfor some systems. The larger historical
sampling in storage DRS allows the system to make a decision withlimited risk of impacting
I/O—unlike moving a virtual machine over and over again.
Question No : 10
The vCenter database is powered off ungracefully, along with a three cluster nodes in a
separate cluster. Willthe failed existing ESXi host nodes restart correctly using Auto
Deploy?
A. Yes
B. No
Answer: A
Explanation:
Auto Deploy enables an untrained IT professional to increase capacity while ensuring
quality andconsistency within a cluster. However, there is a dependency on the vCenter
server and Auto Deploy serverroles at different times. In this case, the ESXi hosts have
already booted successfully. This means that allsubsequent reboots will be controlled using
configuration from the Auto Deploy server, not vCenter. If thevCenter database is
impacted, the ESXi hosts will automatically restore. Even in the event of no
vCenteravailability, hosts will use the last-known copy of a distributed switch or the
configured vSphere switch.
Chapter X, Putting it all together
Question No : 11
A best practice can change over time.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
A best practice is based on experience with delivering a solution. A new product will have
limitedbest-practice information except for vendor- or vendor-partner-based
recommendations. The longer atechnology is used in a community, the more potential
success; therefore, best practices can change overtime.
Chapter 6, Validation, Thoughts, and Processes
Question No : 12
Only a software vendor develops a standard process or configuration.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
success; therefore, best practices may berecommended by non-vendor-related people. It is
up to a designer to validate this information rather thanignore it straightaway.
Question No : 13
A logical design can contain which of the following?(Choose three)
A. BIOS settings
B. Data flow
C. Key component relationships
D. High-level diagrams
E. Server host names
Answer: B,C,D
Explanation:
A logical diagram can be used to show service components and how they relate to each
other. Alogical diagram is high level in nature and is independent of the hardware used for
a solution.
Chapter 2, Presenting the Data Gathered
Question No : 14
You are a VMware architect employed to design and build application environments and
the underlyingplatform for a software development company. The company is using a
“devops” approach and has engagedwith you at the beginning of the first planning
meeting/pre-sprint.
The software has yet to be written. However, you have some high-level specifications that
are subject tochange at each of the early meetings.
The ______ is more logical for virtual machine sizing.
A. predictive sizing approach based on current software

B. adaptive sizing approach
Answer: B
Explanation:
There are two types of scaling approaches in virtual platforms: adaptive and predictive.
Bothapproaches are usable; however, a designer must work out which is the best approach
for each project.
The adaptive approach to guest virtual machine design is a major advantage that
virtualization technologybrings to a datacenter. It allows a guest virtual machine to be
created initially on a few metrics or high-levelrequirements (such as a limited budget) and
scaled (that is, grown, not shrunk) through the virtual machine lifecycle. In many cases, this
scaling can be performed hot/live without outage/downtime to the runningapplications.
The predictive approach, on the other hand, requires more planning and research, and you
must know themetrics before deployment. The advantage here is that once the virtual
machine has been deployed, onlyapplication maintenance is required. The application
requirements are known.
Chapter 5, Design Approaches
Question No : 15
You are working on a hybrid cloud project, where production applications (yet to be fully
developed) are to bedeployed. Which of the following is a project requirement?
A. The production data must be in the UK at all times.

B. The hosting partner provides sufficient resources without overcommitment to support
application load.
C. The hosting provider meets uptime expectations.
D. The development team provides the software on time.
Answer: A
Explanation:
A requirement is a definable and measurable project item. It must be part of the delivery,
and itsremoval cannot be justified.
Chapter 2, Definitions of Key Terms
Question No : 16
In the project life cycle, the ____________ defines the vision.
A. IT architect
B. software vendor
C. business
Answer: C
Explanation:
By reviewing the current configuration of a system and mapping the final status of
components asdescribed in the vision, the business identifies the gap between the two. A
gap state analysis is a review of theitems or tasks that are required to progress between
the stages. Such an analysis is useful in creatingmilestone plans, implementation orders,
and so on.
Chapter 2, Gathering Information and Spotting the Gaps
Question No : 17
A(n) _____________ is an item that is taken to be true in the design phases but has not
been tested prior to execution.
A. requirement
B. constraint
C. assumption
D. risk
Answer: C
Explanation:
An assumption could impact your design. It is good to ensure that project team and
widerbusiness are aware of assumptions and that they are agreed and validated as part of
the design considerationprocess.
Question No : 18
You are a virtualization consultant working on a DR project. You have proposed a solution
that uses SANreplication technology to replicate production virtual machine files. This
meets the cold standby requirement.
Which of the following could be a design constraint?
A. The hardware currently being used in the datacenter is out of support.

B. The company is undecided about the choice of centralized storage to be used in the
enterprise.
C. The company is at the end of year 1 of a 3-year contract for the point-to-point link
between Site A and Site
D. This link is currently 10 MB.
Answer: C
Explanation:
An item from the current state analysis that would restrict or change a design choice is
potentiallya constraint. Such factors can limit a design and in some cases prevent the
realization of a project vision.
Question No : 19
You are a technical consultant designing a solution for an online retail company. The
project vision is to deploya hybrid cloud, with the internal team developing the website on
internal infrastructure and migratingproduction-ready applications to a hosting provider. The
project is expected to ease deployment and requireless infrastructure capital
expenditure—without lowering application quality.
Which of the following is a risk to the project?
A. The solution must adhere to ISO 27001.

B. Change control of the hosting vCloud platform is not under full control of the internal
business.
C. The hosting provider outsources the platform support to the platform vendor.
D. The applications to be deployed on the production hosts are not fully developed,
although a beta exists.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The technical design process enables the platform designer to work in a methodical way
and withothers who have similar objectives. A risk is that a project item could potentially
prevent the vision or aspectsof it (requirements) from being created.
Chapter 1, The Technical Design Process
Question No : 20
A DR project requires a recovery time objective (RTO) of 4 hours and has a recovery point
objective (RPO) of2 hours. The system fails at 8 p.m. on a Sunday evening. At what time is
the application expected to beavailable to the end users?
A. Midnight
B. 10 p.m.
C. 2 a.m.
D. 11 p.m.
Answer: A
Explanation:
The recovery time objective (RTO)—also known as the return to operation—is the amount
of timeit takes to restore a service after a failure has taken place. The recovery point
objective (RPO) is the point intime to which the system needs to be restored following a
failure.

Question No : 21
A project vision in some cases may not be achieved due to constraints, risks, and other
projectfactors. However, a project vision is required to guide a project throughout the life
cycle.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
The technical design process enables a platform designer to work in a methodical way and
withothers who have similar objectives. The vision is the endpoint—the environment or
situation whereby thebusiness would ideally like to be following the process.
Question No : 22
A software vendor-provided best practice should be adhered to ___________.(Choose

two)
A. where possible, respecting other project requirements

B. at all times because the vendor wrote and designed the software
C. in the absence of other requirements as a guide to configuration
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
success; therefore, best practices may change overtime.
Question No : 23
An application has an SLA whereby the service must be restored in 4 hours, with 15-minute
data loss. Whichof the following statements is valid?
A. The platform must provide the application with RTO of 15 minutes and RPO of 4 hours.
B. The platform must provide the application with RTO of 4 hours and RPO of 15 minutes.
Answer: B
Explanation:
The recovery time objective (RTO)—also known as the return to operation—is the amount
of timeit takes to restore a service after a failure has taken place. The recovery point
objective (RPO) is the point intime to which the system needs to be restored following a
failure.

Question No : 24
Which of the following type of discovery methods used in state-analysis techniques is more
likely to affectapplication or server performance.
A. Active
B. Passive
C. Both A and B
Answer: A
Explanation:
There are two types of discovery methods: active and passive.
Active discovery methods can run processes that are detrimental and can impact a system.
They normallyrequire an agent.
With passive discovery methods, data is obtained in a non-impact, non-intrusive manner,
with no agents.
Obtaining and interpreting/presenting data such as this normally requires more experience.

Question No : 25
Which of the following diagrams which may be included in project documentation shows a
system’scomponents and how they could affect/depend on each other?
A. Logical diagram
B. Entity relationship diagram
C. Physical diagram
Answer: B
Explanation:
An entity relationship diagram is a form of logical diagram than can be used to map
servicecomponent dependencies. It is independent of the hardware used for a solution.

Question No : 26
Infrastructure qualities are guiding design considerations that can be used

___________.(Choose two)
A. in the absence of project requirements

B. instead of project requirements
C. in addition to project requirements
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Good design should meet the project requirements and consider the properties of
assumedplatform design. Protecting data requires that a system be available and
manageable, that it have goodperformance, and that it be easy to recover and be secure.

Question No : 27
In a stateless Auto Deploy design, which of the following is correct?
A. The vCenter has a direct impact in the event of an outage of this component.
B. The Auto Deploy server has a direct impact in the end of an outage of this component.
C. Both of the above statements are correct
Answer: C
Explanation:
The Auto Deploy feature is an excellent design choice for managing a mass installation of
ESXi.
The vCenter is required for implementation; however, the requirement is independent of
vCenter version.
Chapter 4, Management/Platform Design
Question No : 28
VMware HA can reduce the requirement for disaster recovery planning and documentation.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
VMware HA can satisfy the majority of RTO scenarios. In general, a business can tolerate
smalloutages of less than a few minutes. When designed correctly, HA can satisfy this
requirement while providinghardware-level protection.

Question No : 29
You are tasked with ensuring that a multitier application will restart correctly during an HA
event. Which of thefollowing is required?(Choose two)
A. A specified restart priority for each machine in the application tiers

B. A vApp object
C. A DR and validation process for operations staff manual processes
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
A vApp is a logical container for guest virtual machine objects. When you use a container,
youhave the ability to use key management functionality, which can dramatically help a
virtualized platform.
Automation allows a small number of staff to manage lots of virtual machines.Chapter 5,

Question No : 30
Before the implementation phase of a project, all design choices should be

______________.
A. validated and justified to the business and project team members

B. documented, validated, and verified as vendor-based best practices
C. validated
Answer: A
Explanation:
The best validation is to place a platform under a typical test of what it will be faced with in
thefield—for example, having a simulated number of users go through a workflow (perhaps
a website). A lot ofthese tasks vary with the type of application and are primarily application
functionality based. In addition,platform or infrastructure metrics are key for validation and
for information to be used within the operationaldocumentation (for example,
troubleshooting guide, monitoring recommendations).
Question No : 31
You have been asked to review a vSphere HA design. The admission control policy is set
to "The number ofhost failures tolerated." The virtual machines vary in size, and use of VM-
based reservations is common.Which of the following should be recommended?(Choose
three)
A. The platform has reservations removed unless specifically required by an application

vendor verified orworkload verified requirement.
B. The platform should be configured with reservations based on resource pools
C. The platform should be configured with an appropriate slot size or the admission control
policy changed toa percentage based policy.
D. The platform should not be configured with reservations based on resource pools
Answer: A,B,C
Explanation:
An admission control policy tells VMware HA how to calculate the resources it needs to
reservefor a cluster. It uses a combination of memory and CPU reservation configuration
or, if no configuration exists,a default low reservation.
Question No : 32
When given a project requirement for RTO to be satisfied, VMware HA can be used
withadmission control enabled.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
Question No : 33
DRS rules can help satisfy availability concerns within a cluster; however, if used
extensively,they may cause a performance issue with vCenter.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
DRS rules can be extremely useful for a number of reasons, such as redundancy,
networkbandwidth, and performance management. However, if they are used
extensively,functionality such as DPMmay become less effective (that is, hosts will not be
able to power off due to rules and will use more powerthan required).
Question No : 34
You are reviewing a VMware vSphere 5 cluster design. The system is designed to run
DPM in fully automatedmode. DPM in fully automated mode ____ evacuate all templates
when placed into standby mode.
A. will
B. will not
Answer: B
Explanation:
DPM will not move powered-off virtual machines or templates. A real-life workaround is to
turn offfully automated DRS for these machines on a case-by-case basis and register them
to a specific host in thecluster for deployment usage.
Question No : 35
Has the configurable option "Failure Detection Time" in VMware HA has been removed in
vSphere 5?
A. No. It is an advanced setting.

B. Yes. It is no longer needed due to additional storage checks in the VMware HA isolation
response process.
Answer: B
Explanation:
vSphere 5 will use datastore heartbeats in a disaster. Thus, this setting is no longer
available orsupported in VMware vSphere 5.
Question No : 36
You are considering the correct option for a VMware HA cluster admission control policy.
The system is ahosted platform, and for business reasons, reservations will not be used.
Which of the following statements iscorrect?
A. The only admission control policy possible is based on failover host.

B. A default slot size will be used in place of reservations.
C. The percentage-based admission control policy should be used.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Question No : 37
You are designing a VMware HA cluster. In vSphere 5, VMware HA will take cluster
resourcefragmentation into account and ask DRS to defragment the cluster, if required.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
In VMware vSphere 5, this HA functionality is fully automated and does not use any
specificcustom settings with regard to reservations or slot sizes. VMware HA functions can
request DRS to migrateworkloads across the system in multiple rounds of vMotion tasks.
This can help defragment the cluster andrestart VMs that have been affected by a failed
host.
Question No : 38
You are designing a VMware HA cluster. Due to project requirements, it has been agreed
that the admissioncontrol policy is based on the number of host failures tolerated per
cluster. However, because there are anumber of small web servers and one large
database server with large reservations, the slot size has beenmanually configured. What
is the impact of this configuration?
A. DRS will not automatically defragment the resources in the event of a failure.
B. DRS will automatically defragment the resources in the event of a failure.
C. DPM cannot be used in this configuration.
Answer: A
Explanation:
With the rebuild of vSphere 5 HA functionality, it is possible for VMware HA to ask DRS
todefragment a cluster if systems are not going to restart correctly. However, this
functionality is disabled if thedefault or automatic slot size calculation is changed using the
override setting. In situations like this, from adesign perspective, a percentage-based
admission control policy would be more beneficial.
Question No : 39
You are designing a vSphere 5 HA cluster. One of the requirements is to ensure full
collection of log files in theevent of an issue. Which of the following is correct?(Choose two)
A. By default, ESXi logs are not persistent following reboots.

B. The logs should be forwarded to a syslog server or vCenter dump collector.
C. The ESXi logs are persistent through reboots.
Answer: A,B
Explanation:
By default, ESXi hosts do not store logs persistently through reboots. To ensure full
visibility oflogs, a syslog and/or vCenter dump collector is required for compliance and root
cause analysis.
Question No : 40
You are designing a VMware HA cluster as part of a solution for a large enterprise. One of
the specificrequirements is to remove the risk of impact to a DRS outage due to possible
fragmentation of resourcesleading to performance issues. Which of the following
statements is correct?
A. VMware HA will automatically protect DRS in the event of a HA event.

B. A virtual vCenter cannot be used in this solution.
C. vCenter heartbeat would need to be implemented to protect the vCenter and dependent
services DRS usesfor this level of protection.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The vCenter can be protected by VMware HA but is a requirement for HA configuration.
ThevCenter is also a requirement for DRS, DPN, network vMotion, and vMotion. For cases
in which functionalitysuch as this cannot tolerate outages of several minutes in the event of
a major event, VMware has a productcalled vCenter heartbeat. It can give true application
protection without an outage to the vCenter application.
Question No : 41
You are designing a VMware HA platform based on vSphere converged network

hardware– and softwarebasediSCSI storage. Which of the following is true?
A. vSphere 5 can provide protection for workloads in this design, using datastore
heartbeats and managementnetworks.
B. vSphere 5 datastore heartbeats may not provide additional protection in this design if a
physical cardcontaining the management and storage networks fails.
Answer: B
Explanation:
VMware HA will check storage heartbeats or a lock file (NFS v3) on datastores in the event
thatthe management network is impacted. By using a CNA and slicing the 10 GB up into
smaller chunks, it couldbe possible perspective to have a smaller number of physical NICs
but with multiple logical networks defined.
As a CNA can define network and storage configuration, it could be a major outage if the
NIC failed, and thiswould remove the extra protection the network storage heartbeats
provide.
Question No : 42
DRS and vMotion can help increase consolidation ratios.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
DRS can be configured for fully automated mode and can review performance statistics on
hosts.
Assuming that all workloads will not have the same peak period of time, you can load
balance workloadsacross the hosts and reuse resources in different scenarios through the
working day to increase consolidationratios.
Question No : 43
A guest VM should be sized using ____________.(Choose two)
A. minimum applications specifications

B. initial workload
C. anticipated workloads
Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Allocated resources are shown in the guest operating system and are not guaranteed.
Theamount depends on the unreserved resources available at the time. Assuming no
functionality issues, you canconfigure a production application to be guaranteed its
projected workload, and the system should deliver.Without a reservation, there is potential
for a performance impact if there is contention.

Question No : 44
You are a VMware architect designing a solution for a client with an existing site who
wishes to build a disasterrecovery site. The operations manager has presented some
information in the kickoff meeting. The companyhas 1,000 VMs, and the average VM has
the following specs:
18 GB memory
2 vCPU
100 GB
The company already has an existing vendor relationship with a hardware vendor and
would like to keep theexisting storage solution roadmap in place. The following
requirements are stated:
RTO: 15 minutes
RPO: 15 minutes
Uptime: 99.99%
The existing vendor relationship is a ______________.
A. risk to the project

B. constraint
C. vision
Answer: B
Explanation:
An assumption could impact your design. It is good to ensure that project team and
widerbusiness are aware of assumptions and that they are agreed and validated as part of
the design considerationprocess.
Question No : 45
The RTO and RPO objectives can be achieved using VMware HA.
A. True
B. False
Answer: B
Explanation:
The majority of applications do not require 100% uptime. VMware HA can be configured to
restartworkloads within a few seconds. The software can be configured to produce a fully
automated DR and BCsystem. It is, however, not completely application aware and will
depend on application requirements to beproved useful. From a VMware admin point of
view, VMware HA is very important and worth exploring in thedesign process.
Question No : 46
You are a VMware consultant working at a small managed services company. The
company has won acontract with a large company, Company A, to host its test and dev
platform, with the chance on annual reviewto host the production platform.
Although you have been engaged early in the project due to business requirements, the
budget for the projecthas already been combined with that for another DR project for
another company, Company B. The thoughtprocess for this decision is that, if needed, the
test systems from Company A have a lower requirement in theunlikely event of Company B
having a DR event.
All the items have been bought and are to be delivered. Your role is to take the equipment
provided andconstruct, develop, and implement a scalable working vSphere platform. The
following requirements arestated:
Company A test machines must be provided with sufficient resources for BAU.
Company B systems can be made available with minimum impact to Company A.
For Company A, RTO is 7 days, and RPO is 1 month.
For company B, RTO is 1 hour, and RPO is 15 minutes.
Using a shared infrastructure in this way is a risk to the project.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
The technical design process enables the platform designer to work in a methodical way
and withothers with similar objectives. A risk is an object that could prevent the delivery of
the project requirements.

Company B's RTO is 1 hour, and its RPO is 15 minutes.
The use of a shared infrastructure used in this way is a constraint to the project.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
An item from the current state analysis that would restrict or change a design choice is
potentiallya constraint. These factors can limit the design and in some cases prevent the
realization of the project vision.

You are a VMware consultant who has been hired to take over a mismanaged VMware
vSphere 5platformestate. You are presented with the vCenter administrator password and
given the following information.
1. The system has full production support from VMware.
2. The platform has been suffering from performance problems for two weeks.
3. No documentation exists.
Your role is to design and implement a platform that meets the following requirements:
R001: Stable for current workloads

R002: Supportable by operations staff
Which of the following discovery methods should be used?
A. Active discovery
B. Passive discovery
Answer: B
Explanation:
There are two types of discovery methods:
Active discovery can run processes which are detrimental and can impact a system, and
normally requires anagent.
With passive discovery, data is obtained in a non-impactful, non-intrusive manner with no
agents. Data such asthis normally needs more experience to obtain and interpret/present.

An upstream relationship is a logical object or component that has dependency on other

items ina solution.
A. True
B. False
Answer: A
Explanation:
In an upstream relationship, a logical object or component has a dependency on other
items inthe solution. For example, a service running on an application server requires an
Active Directory user accountto be authenticated. The application service must be started
after the Active Directory service. Therefore, theapplication server has an upstream
relationship with the Active Directory service.
In an downstream relationship, a logical object or component does not have a dependency
on other items inthe solution. For example, say that a multisite web server crashes. The
web tier hosting multiple websites willcrash; however, the downstream objects such as the
database server will continue to function. Backendprocesses that are dependent on the
downstream objects from the web servers can continue to function.
