1Y0-312 Advanced Provisioning and Image Management Practice Question

Answer analysis

Option-by-option breakdown

For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.

• ✗

  Storing vDisks on the local drive of each PVS server.

  Why it's wrong here

  Storing vDisks locally on each server makes it impossible for other servers to access those files. If one server goes down, all target devices serviced by that server will fail to boot, which directly contradicts the requirement for high availability and resilient architecture in a PVS environment.

• ✗

  Configuring the storage to use only one PVS server for all traffic.

  Why it's wrong here

  Restricting traffic to a single PVS server creates a single point of failure. If that server fails, the entire environment goes offline. High availability requires multiple servers to be active and capable of servicing streaming requests, ensuring that the environment remains operational despite the failure of any single component.

• ✓

  Ensuring all Provisioning Servers have access to the shared vDisk storage.

  Why this is correct

  High availability depends on all PVS servers being able to stream the same vDisk files from a common, shared location. This allows for load balancing and redundancy, as any available server can pick up requests if another fails, ensuring continuous operation and high reliability for the virtual desktop environment.

• ✗

  Using a separate storage array for each PVS server.

  Why it's wrong here

  Separate storage arrays for each server prevent the shared access required for high availability. Each server would only have access to its own set of vDisks, preventing the redundancy necessary for failover scenarios and creating multiple isolated silos that cannot support each other in the event of hardware failure.
