   A VxRail designer is using Live Optics to collect data from a customer's environment. The customer's workload is highly seasonal, with heavy usage during the last week of each month. The designer plans to run the Live Optics Collector for 24 hours. What is the primary limitation of this approach?

   • AThe Live Optics Collector requires a dedicated physical server to run
   • BThe 24-hour collection window may not capture the peak seasonal workload
   • CThe Live Optics Collector cannot collect data from virtualized environments
   • DThe Live Optics Collector only collects CPU and memory data

   A Live Optics report for a customer's VDI environment shows that the workload is highly variable, with low IOPS during the day and high IOPS during login bursts. The customer wants to deploy a VxRail cluster that can handle the login bursts without over-provisioning. What should the designer consider?

   • AUse a storage configuration that prioritizes write IOPS over read IOPS
   • BSize the cluster to handle the peak IOPS during login bursts
   • CSize the cluster based on average IOPS to reduce cost
   • DIgnore the login bursts and size based on the steady-state workload

   A VxRail designer is collecting Live Optics data from a customer's environment during a holiday period when most employees are on vacation. The customer wants to size a new cluster for their normal operations. What is the primary concern with this data collection?

   • AThe Live Optics Collector cannot collect data during holidays
   • BThe data will be too large to analyze due to the holiday period
   • CThe Live Optics reports will be inaccurate because of the holiday period
   • DThe data may not represent the normal workload, leading to an undersized cluster

   A VxRail designer is collecting Live Optics data from a customer's environment for a new cluster design. The customer's environment is a mix of physical and virtual servers, and the designer plans to use the Live Optics Collector on a Windows machine. However, the customer has a strict security policy that prohibits installing software on any machine that is not part of the VxRail cluster. What should the designer do?

   • ARun the Live Optics Collector on a temporary Windows machine
   • BUse the Live Optics web-based upload tool to manually upload data
   • CRequest the customer to provide performance data from their existing monitoring tool
   • DDeploy the Live Optics virtual appliance in the customer's environment
