D-VXR-DS-00 Questions and Answers

The correct process is to sign up on the Live Optics website, download the collector, and deploy it on a suitable workstation or server in the environment to gather data without impacting the vCenter Server directly.

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.

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.

For proper network resolution in a VxRail deployment using external DNS, valid lookup records are required for vCenter Server, ESXi hosts, and discovery addresses to ensure all critical components can be located and communicate correctly.

In the VxRail Sizing Tool, when enabling compression on VxRail vSAN, the default Compression Filter ratio is set to 2:1. This means that the tool assumes a 2:1 data reduction ratio due to compression, effectively halving the storage requirements for the specified workload. This default setting helps in estimating the storage capacity needed for the deployment, though actual compression ratios may vary based on the specific data characteristics.

Live Optics is the tool designed to gather detailed application and virtual environment workload data from existing environments to aid in sizing and planning VxRail deployments.

Both Layer 2 (L2) and Layer 3 (L3) site-to-site connectivity are supported for VxRail stretched clusters.

Configurations with two nodes plus a witness and four nodes plus a witness are supported cluster sizes for stretched clusters, providing fault tolerance across sites.
