Testlet 1
Overview
Litware, Inc. is a pharmaceutical company.
Litware has an office in Montreal. Litware has a marketing department and a research department.
Existing Environment
Network Infrastructure
The network contains a single Active Directory domain named litwareinc.com. The domain contains 1,000
physical servers that run Windows Server 2008 R2.
All of the servers are located in a leased data center that has a high-bandwidth, low-latency network. The data
center contains third-party iSCSI SAN storage devices that support an SMI-S provider.
Application Infrastructure
Users in the research department use multiple instances of a three-tier application named Appl. App1 consists
of the components shown in the following table.
The Web Server (IIS) server role, WMI providers, Windows services, Windows drivers, and web applications
will be installed on the servers that host Tier 2.
Problem Statements
Litware identifies the following issues:
The cost of leasing data center space is increasing steadily.
The research department users report that it takes too long to provision new instances of Appl.
Requirements
Planned Changes
Litware plans to deploy 400 additional servers that will run Windows Server 2008 R2. The servers will be
configured asshown in the following table.
Litware also plans to deploy the following System Center 2012 components:
Orchestrator
App Controller
Service Manager
Operations Manager
Data Protection Manager (DPM)
Virtualization Machine Manager (VMM)Litware plans to provide the research department users with the ability to deploy instances of App1.
Private Cloud Infrastructure Requirements
Litware identifies the following requirements for the planned private cloud infrastructure:
VMM must be available if a server or a service fails.
Virtual machines must be provisioned by using SAN copy cloning.
The implementation of App Controller must support single sign-on.
The implementation of Service Manager must support French and English.
The implementation of VMM must support the provisioning of virtual machines by using SAN copy.
Virtual machines hosted on Hyper-V failover clusters must remain available during the installation of
Windows updates.
Physical servers that have workloads that are suitable for a virtualized environment must be virtualized.
Performance data must be taken into account when identifying which servers must be virtualized.
Private Cloud Integration Requirements
Litware identifies the following requirements for integrating the System Center 2012 components:
Incidents in Service Manager must be resolved automatically, whenever possible.
Alerts generated by Operations Manager must trigger incidents in Service Manager.
Operations Manager alerts triggered by VMM events must be remediated automatically, whenever possible.
All of the Orchestrator components responsible for executing the activities of Service Manager workflows
must be highly available.
Private Cloud Services Requirements
Litware identifies the following requirements for managing services in the private cloud:
App1 must be deployed by using a VMM service template.
The Tier 2 of App1 must be deployed as a highly available virtual machine.
The research department users must use App Controller to deploy virtual machines and services.
The virtual machines deployed by the research department users must be hosted on servers in the research
department.
The virtual machines in Tier 1 of App1 must be configured as cluster nodes by using the Network Load
Balancing (NLB) feature.
A web application named WA1 in Tier 2 of App1 must use a connection string that points to a Microsoft SQL
Server database in Tier 3 of Appl.
The software components included in Tier 2 of App1 must be deployed as Microsoft Server Application
Virtualization (Server App-V) packages, whenever possible.
###EndCaseStudy###
You need to recommend a solution to control the provisioning of the virtual machines by the research
department users. The solution must meet the requirements for managing services in the private cloud.
What should you include in the recommendation? (More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select
the BEST answer.)
A.
VMM placement rules and Service Manager service offerings
B.
VMM custom properties and Orchestrator runbooks
C.
VMM placement rules and capability profiles
D.
A separate VMM cloud for the research department users
Explanation:
The Research department contains clustered Hyper-V hosts and standalone Hyper-V hosts. When research
users deploy an instance of App1, the VMs in App1 must be highly available. Therefore, they must be deployed
to the clustered Hyper-V hosts. A capability profile can specify thata VM must be highly available and a
placement rule can ensure it is deployed to clustered Hyper-V hosts. A private cloud including the standalone
Hyper-V hosts would not ensure this.
