EMC D-VXR-DS-00 Dell VxRail Design Exam Practice Test

VxRail Manager is always present on a VxRail cluster as the core management component that handles cluster lifecycle, updates, and monitoring.

The VxRail Sizer Tool includes vRealize Log Insight by default as part of the application package for integrated log management and analytics in the VxRail environment.

The PowerStore 5200T connected via NVMe/TCP supports integration with a VxRail-managed vCenter on the local cluster, enabling optimized storage performance and management within the VxRail ecosystem.

LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) must be configured on the ToR switch to enable automated discovery of VxRail nodes during deployment.

The VxRail Solution Summary report provides a concise overview of the configured solution, serving as an input for Sales Ordering tools to facilitate procurement and deployment.

Assigning resource-intensive networks like vSAN to the higher speed uplinks ensures that critical traffic benefits from the best available network performance, optimizing throughput and maintaining security by separating traffic types appropriately.

To maintain compatibility in a vSAN OSA cluster, node types that match the existing architecture, such as E660N and E660, can be added, ensuring consistent hardware and software support.

The cluster is replacing an existing infrastructure, which aligns with a Technology Refresh purpose, and supporting Hadoop and Tableau workloads fits the Big Data use case in the VxRail Sizing Tool.

VxRail uses JSON-formatted configuration files to define the settings and parameters required to build and deploy a cluster, allowing for structured and machine-readable configurations.

Automatic node discovery requires the internal management VLAN to be properly configured on the switches for node communication, and the switches must allow IPv4 multicast traffic to enable discovery protocols to function correctly.

The two types of port groups on a vSphere Distributed Switch are Virtual Machine port groups (for VM traffic) and VMkernel port groups (for host management, vSAN, vMotion, etc.).

The VxRail Sizing Tool validates that the recommended model can accommodate the VDI workload, helping ensure the proposed configuration meets performance requirements even with limited initial information.
