Q: 5
An administrator is tasked with installing VMware vCenter. The vCenter Server Appliance must
support an environment of:
• 400 hosts
• 4000 virtual machines
Which two resources must be allocated, at a minimum, to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)

I'd pick B and D too. 8 vCPUs (D) and 30 GB memory (B) match the Medium deployment specs for vCenter, which is needed for that many hosts. Not completely sure if this changed recently but that's how I remember it.
D and B. A is overkill, C/E would undersize for 400 hosts. Pretty sure that's what VMware guides list for Medium size.
Option A I keep seeing conflicting info in VMware docs about vCPU, so I'm thinking 16 vCPUs should cover it?
D/B? I get why people might think A for CPUs, but that's only needed for the "Large" vCenter deployment size, not this one. The trap is picking more resources than necessary, which VMware actually doesn't require for the given host and VM count. Specs change between versions, but pretty sure D and B are the safe minimums per the current guides. Anyone see a reason to go higher?
B and D here. Medium deployment spec in the docs shows 8 vCPUs and 30 GB RAM as the minimum for 400 hosts/4000 VMs. If VMware changes these numbers in a future release, might need to adjust. Anyone disagree?
A is wrong, D and B. Official sizing guides or practice tests back this up.
B and D imo. Medium deployment is what you want for 400 hosts, so that's 8 vCPUs (D) and 30 GB RAM (B) per VMware's official sizing charts. C or E would undersize the environment and probably cause issues with performance. Haven't seen these requirements shift lately, but correct me if I'm missing something.
Its D and B since Medium deployment covers up to 400 hosts, and VMware docs list 8 vCPUs plus 30GB RAM for that size. C/E would be too low. Anyone see these specs change in recent updates?
Medium-sized vCenter needs at least 8 vCPUs and 30 GB memory for that many hosts and VMs. So, D and B fit here based on VMware sizing guides. Pretty sure about this but open if someone has newer sizing info.
Be respectful. No spam.
