VCP-VVF IT Architectures Technologies Standards Practice Question
An infrastructure architect is designing a multi-site vSphere Foundation 9.0 environment with stretched clusters. Which THREE challenges or requirements must be accounted for in a stretched cluster design? (Choose three.)
Answer choices
Why each option matters
Answer the question above first, then reveal the full breakdown to understand why each option is right or wrong.
Correct answer & explanation
✓
Redundant, high-bandwidth inter-site ISL (Inter-Switch Links) for vMotion and storage traffic.
Stretched clusters require strict RTT latency limits for storage, reliable witness placement, and redundant high-bandwidth inter-site networking.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Redundant, high-bandwidth inter-site ISL (Inter-Switch Links) for vMotion and storage traffic.
Why this is correct
Correct. High bandwidth is mandatory to handle continuous cross-site replication and migrations.
- ✗
Complete elimination of all network gateways across the entire enterprise.
Why it's wrong here
Gateways are required for routing traffic between subnets in stretched designs.
- ✓
Placement of the vSAN Witness node in a third independent failure domain or site.
Why this is correct
Correct. A third site prevents split-brain conditions if an inter-site link fails.
- ✓
Strict round-trip time (RTT) latency limitations between the primary data centers (typically <= 5ms for vSAN).
Why this is correct
Correct. Synchronous replication requires low RTT latency to prevent I/O stalls.
- ✗
Converting all virtual machine disks into read-only ISO files.
Why it's wrong here
Stretched clusters run active production workloads requiring writable VMDKs.
