Actual exam question from Citrix's 1Y0-403

Question #: 83
Topic #: 1

Scenario: A Citrix Architect is designing a new Citrix Virtual Apps and Desktops environment. The Site will contain two Delivery Controllers. All machines are running on a single hypervisor platform. As part of the deployment, management has advised they want a database high-availability (HA) solution to protect the environment against the loss of a physical server.
Additional considerations for the SQL HA:
✑ Downtime for Citrix administrative functions should be minimized.
✑ Additional hardware or resources should be minimized.
✑ Limited knowledge available to configure and maintain SQL infrastructure.
Which HA configuration should the architect use for this deployment?

A. Local Host Cache
B. VM-Level HA
C. SQL Always On
D. SQL Mirroring
E. SQL Clustering

« Downtime for the Citrix administrative » functions is key too, so B. LHC won’t fulfill this requirement.

I would have to say A, but it would be better if these tests were based on real-world scenarios rather then trying to trick the us by making us select the least absurd answer.

In the coursebook, LHC is mentioned as an HA feature (pages 511-512). And it says for VM-Level-HA: "Because a full copy of a machine has to be completed, this option may take longer to complete than other SQL HA methods causing longer down times". For SQL methods it says that requires additional SQL servers, configuration and licensing.

Selected Answer: B

LHC is also just a feature and not a specified HA solution per https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/1912-ltsr/technical-overview/databases.html VM-Level HA is the best available solution.

Selected Answer: B

VM-level HA implements the HA at hypervisor level. The best solution under given conditions is B I guess https://docs.citrix.com/en-us/citrix-virtual-apps-desktops/1912-ltsr/technical-overview/databases.html

...one condition is "protect against the loss of a physical server". LHC won't solve this.
