   A customer is designing a VxRail cluster with two 10 GbE switches for redundancy. The design must separate management, vSAN, and VM traffic. The customer wants to minimize the number of physical cables. What is the recommended network design?

   • AUse VLAN tagging to carry all traffic types over the same physical uplinks
   • BConnect each node to only one switch to reduce cabling
   • CDedicate one switch to vSAN traffic and the other to management and VM traffic
   • DUse a single VLAN for all traffic to simplify the configuration

   A VxRail architect is documenting the customer's current backup solution, VM density per host, and network bandwidth utilization. What is the primary purpose of this activity?

   • ATo calculate the number of nodes needed
   • BTo validate the design against compatibility matrices
   • CTo inform design decisions for the new cluster
   • DTo determine the VxRail cluster type

   A customer plans to deploy a VxRail cluster for a new application. The initial workload requires 12 TB of usable capacity, but the customer expects 20% annual growth for the next three years. The customer wants to size the cluster to accommodate this growth without adding nodes for at least three years. What should the designer calculate?

   • AThe capacity requirement after two years, assuming growth will stop
   • BThe initial capacity requirement only, and plan to add nodes later
   • CThe capacity requirement after one year, assuming growth will be linear
   • DThe total capacity needed after three years, including growth, and size the cluster accordingly
