VCDX-DCV sample questions

Question 1

During a requirements gathering workshop for a financial institution, the CISO states that all data at rest must be encrypted using FIPS 140-2 validated modules. The Infrastructure Director mentions that the current storage array does not support native encryption but cannot be replaced due to budget constraints. How should this requirement be classified in the design documentation?

Accepted Answer

As a Design Constraint

Answer

As a Functional Requirement

Answer

As a Risk

Answer

As an Assumption

Question 2

An architect is designing a vSphere 8.0 solution. The customer requires a Recovery Point Objective (RPO) of 5 minutes for their Tier 1 database workloads. The primary and secondary sites are connected via a WAN link with 100ms round-trip latency. Which replication technology is the most appropriate architectural choice to meet this requirement?

Accepted Answer

vSphere Replication

Answer

vSAN Stretched Cluster

Answer

Array-based Synchronous Replication

Answer

vCenter HA

Question 3

A customer requests a design for a new virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI). They state, 'We expect to grow by 20% annually.' However, they cannot provide historical data or a funded budget for expansion. How should the architect document this in the design?

Accepted Answer

As an Assumption that budget will be available when growth occurs

Answer

As a Design Constraint affecting scalability

Answer

As a Functional Requirement for 20% spare capacity day one

Answer

As a Risk that the project will fail immediately

Question 4

A Service Provider requires a multi-tenant design where tenants must have dedicated compute resources that cannot be shared with others, yet the provider wants to manage a single large cluster to maximize operational efficiency. Which vSphere feature best addresses this specific requirement?

Accepted Answer

Resource Pools with Reservations

Answer

vSphere High Availability (HA)

Answer

Affinity Rules (VM-Host)

Answer

Storage I/O Control (SIOC)

Question 5

In a design interview, a stakeholder mentions, 'We need the system to be up 99.99% of the time.' The architect calculates the allowable downtime per year to validate this SLA. What is the approximate allowable downtime for 99.99% availability?

Accepted Answer

52 minutes

Answer

8 hours

Answer

5 minutes

Answer

1.5 days

Question 6

Analyze the following Conceptual Design diagram showing a proposed multi-site architecture. Based on the VCDX methodology, which critical element is missing that is required to map this concept to a Logical Design?
