To guarantee bandwidth for critical production workloads in NSX-T Data Center, the following three actions must be taken:

  1. Export Transport Node NIOC Profile: The first step is to export the NIOC (Network I/O Control) profile for the transport node. NIOC profiles provide bandwidth allocation and congestion management for different types of traffic. By exporting the NIOC profile, the NSX administrator can modify it to allocate a guaranteed bandwidth for critical production workloads.

  2. Specify QoS Parameters: After exporting the NIOC profile, the next step is to specify the QoS (Quality of Service) parameters for the critical production workloads. This includes specifying the minimum and maximum bandwidth for the workloads, as well as setting any other QoS policies that may be required.

  3. Create a QoS Segment Profile: Finally, the NSX administrator must create a QoS segment profile that associates the QoS parameters with the specific segment(s) that contain the critical production workloads. The QoS segment profile can be created in NSX Manager, and it defines the QoS policies that are applied to the segment.

Once the above three actions are completed, the NSX administrator can upload the modified NIOC profile and QoS segment profile to NSX Manager and apply the configuration to the transport nodes and segments. This can be done by uploading the exported JSON file containing the modified NIOC profile and QoS segment profile and applying the configuration using NSX Manager. So, options B, D, and C are the correct choices, and options A, E, and F are incorrect.
