5V0-31.22 VMware Cloud Foundation Specialist (v2) Questions and Answers

A. Generate Certificate Signing Requests from SDDC Manager - In order to replace the self-signed certificates with third-party signed certificates, the Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) need to be generated. This can be done from the SDDC Manager UI.

C. Create and package the certificates in a domain_name.tar.gz file - After the CSRs are generated, they can be used to obtain third-party signed certificates from a certificate authority. Once the certificates are obtained, they need to be packaged in a domain_name.tar.gz file and uploaded to SDDC Manager.

• Generate Certificate Signing Requests (CSRs) from SDDC Manager for each component that requires a certificate1. You can do this from the SDDC Manager UI or using an API call1.
• Have the CSRs signed by a third-party Certificate Authority of your choice1. You can use any external provider that meets your security policy requirements.
• Create and package the certificates in a domain_name.tar.gz file according to the naming convention and folder structure specified by SDDC Manager1. You can use any compression tool that supports gzip format.
• Upload and install the certificates using SDDC Manager UI or API1. You can also verify and troubleshoot the certificate installation using SDDC Manager.

According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation on network requirements, vSAN requires only the vMotion and NFS networks to be configured in the network pool. This is because vSAN traffic can be carried over the vMotion network, and the NFS network is needed to support the use of NFS datastores [1].

NFS is a file-based storage protocol that can be accessed over IP networks. It does not require any special hardware or software, and can be accessed by any device that supports the NFS protocol [2]. As such, it only requires the NFS network to be configured in the network pool.

Therefore, the correct answers are B. NFS and E. vSAN.

a valid procedure to replace an expired vSAN license in a VMware Cloud Foundation environment is Option A. You can add a new vSAN license to both the SDDC Manager and vCenter Server. Then reassign the vSAN license to the cluster in the vCenter Server 1. Finally, remove the expired vSAN license from both SDDC Manager and vCenter Server 2.

This is because according to VMware documentation34, vSphere with Tanzu uses storage policies to integrate with shared datastores available in your environment, including VMFS, NFS, vSAN, or vVols datastores. The storage policies represent datastores and manage the storage placement of such objects as persistent volumes (PVs). Storage Policy Based Management (SPBM) is a framework that provides a single unified control plane across different types of datastores and enables administrators to define policies based on storage capabilities and requirements5.

The minimum hardware requirements for the management cluster during VMware Cloud Foundation Bring-Up process are:

• 4 vSAN Ready Nodes
• 192 GB RAM per server
• 2 10GbE NICs

This is because according to VMware documentation3, developers can only access Kubernetes storage classes that are mapped from VM Storage Policies. They cannot modify or delete them.

after deploying the VMware Cloud Builder appliance, the next step a systems administrator should take when deploying VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) is Option D: Upload the Deployment Parameter Workbook 1. After uploading and validating the deployment parameter workbook, you can perform bring-up of the management domain 1.

According to the VMware Cloud Foundation documentation, after deploying the VMware Cloud Builder appliance, the next step is to create a deployment parameter workbook that defines the parameters required for the deployment. This workbook can be created manually or generated using the VMware Cloud Foundation Deployment Parameter Workbook Generator tool. Oncethe workbook is created, it must be uploaded to the VMware Cloud Builder appliance before deploying the Management Domain [1].

Therefore, the correct sequence of steps would be:

• Deploy the VMware Cloud Builder appliance
• Create or generate the Deployment Parameter Workbook
• Upload the Deployment Parameter Workbook to the VMware Cloud Builder appliance
• Deploy the Management Domain using VMware Cloud Builder.
