The current vSphere environment will be adding new ESXi hosts that will be used to create a QA compute cluster. This cluster should have HA properties specific to the workloads that will be running in it.
In preparation of adding the new hosts, create the new cluster. QA-Cluster in. Datacenter-PROD on vcsa0la.vclass.local with the following HA requirements:
• The cluster should not contain any ESXi hosts or VMs
• Hosts should be monitored.
• VMs should be restarted in the event of a host failure.
• VMs should be restarted if guest heartbeats are not detected.
• In the case of a host becoming isolated, shutdown and restart VMs.
• If there is an All Paths Down event, any affected VMs must be moved to another host.
• Reserve 10% of memory and CPU for failover capacity.
Part 2
You have been given a requirement for a virtual machine to have no downtime when an ESXi host failure occurs. Configure Fault Tolerance on VM1-FT in the PROD-B cluster. Use any compatible secondary host and datastore. Configure the following advanced cluster settings. Use SAN01 as the storage during configuration.
Note: ignore any related host, customer, or bandwidth warnings as long as fault tolerance is configured and VM1-FT is running.
A new internal network is required to isolate virtual machines for security analysis. The virtual machine (honeypot-01) should reside on a new virtual standard switch with the ability for all traffic on the switch to be monitored.
Add a new virtual switch to accommodate this requirement and configure (honeypot-01) to reside on this switch.
Use the following information to complete this task:
• ESXi host: esxi0la
• Standard Switch: Create a new Standard Switch
• Physical uplink: NO UPLINK
• Network Label: QUARANTINE
• VLAN: none specified
