Question

Scenario: The company needs to ensure that the provisioning traffic does NOT interfere with the existing PXE solution. The Provisioning Services servers will be connected to a 10 Gbps network. How should the architect implement a highly available Provisioning Services server on dedicated physical switches?

Options

  • ABy installing multiple NICs in one Provisioning Services server in each datacenter
  • BBy deploying one Provisioning Services server on a dedicated switch in the primary and secondary
  • CBy deploying two Provisioning Services servers on dedicated switches in each datacenter
  • DBy using NetScaler with GSLB to load balance the Provisioning Services servers on dedicated switches

Why each option

To implement a highly available Provisioning Services server using dedicated physical switches and ensure no interference with PXE, the architect should deploy one PVS server on a dedicated switch in both the primary and secondary datacenters. This provides site-level redundancy for continuous service.

ABy installing multiple NICs in one Provisioning Services server in each datacenter

Installing multiple NICs in a single server enhances local network redundancy or throughput for that server but does not provide high availability across datacenters for the entire service.

BBy deploying one Provisioning Services server on a dedicated switch in the primary and secondaryCorrect

Deploying one Provisioning Services server on a dedicated switch in both a primary and secondary datacenter creates an architecture that is highly available through geographical redundancy. In the event of a failure at the primary site, the secondary datacenter's PVS server can continue to provide services, ensuring business continuity.

CBy deploying two Provisioning Services servers on dedicated switches in each datacenter

While deploying two PVS servers in each datacenter would provide local redundancy, option B describes a standard and effective method for achieving high availability across datacenters with dedicated switches.

DBy using NetScaler with GSLB to load balance the Provisioning Services servers on dedicated switches

NetScaler with GSLB is a load balancing mechanism for high availability, but the question asks for the implementation on dedicated physical switches, which is addressed by the physical deployment described in option B.
