3. Which vSphere component is responsible for executing virtual machines on physical hardware?

VCenter Server

ESXi host

VSphere Client

VSAN cluster

4. What does Network I/O Control (NIOC) manage in a vSphere environment?

Bandwidth allocation and QoS for network traffic

VLAN assignment to hosts

MAC address filtering

5. In vSphere, which feature allows migration of powered-on VMs between vCenter instances?

VMotion

Cross-vCenter vMotion

Storage vMotion

6. What is the primary role of the vCenter Server in a vSphere environment?

Direct VM execution and resource allocation

Centralized management and monitoring of ESXi hosts and VMs

Storage replication and backup coordination

Network firewall enforcement

7. Which vSphere feature monitors and balances memory consumption across hosts?

Memory Compression

Transparent Page Sharing (TPS)

Memory Ballooning

All of the above

8. In vSphere, what does SPBM (Storage Policy-Based Management) enable?

Automated VM placement based on storage policies

Real-time replication of datastores

Encryption of stored VM data

Deduplication across all datastores

9. What is the primary advantage of using vSAN in a vSphere infrastructure?

Simplified management of external SAN

Distributed, software-defined storage from local disks

Reduced network bandwidth usage

Lower licensing costs than traditional storage

10. Which vSphere feature automatically migrates VMs away from failing storage?

Storage DRS

VSAN

SPBM

12. Which vSphere networking feature allows VMs on different physical networks to communicate?

Virtual switches (vSwitch)

Distributed switches (dvSwitch)

VLAN tagging

Network I/O control

13. What is the primary benefit of using vSphere Fault Tolerance (FT) over HA?

Lower cost and simpler configuration

Zero-downtime failover with no data loss

Better performance than HA

Supports more concurrent failures

14. Which admission control policy in vSphere HA reserves resources for failover capacity?

Host failures cluster tolerates

Percentage of cluster resources

Slot-based admission control

All of the above

15. In vSphere, what is the maximum number of hosts supported in a single cluster for HA?

8 hosts

16 hosts

32 hosts

64 hosts

16. Which vSphere feature allows zero-downtime VM migration between hosts?

17. What does DRS (Distributed Resource Scheduler) primarily optimize in a vSphere cluster?

VM backup scheduling

Load balancing and resource utilization across hosts

Network latency reduction

Storage replication timing

18. Which storage protocol is commonly used for NAS-based vSphere datastores?

Fibre Channel

NFS

ISCSI

SAS

19. In a vSphere cluster with HA enabled, what is the default restart priority for virtual machines?

Based on alphabetical order

Based on VM creation date

Based on restart priority settings and resource availability

All VMs restart simultaneously

20. What is the primary purpose of resource pools in vSphere?

To isolate network traffic between VMs

To allocate and manage CPU, memory, and storage resources hierarchically

To encrypt virtual machine data

To replicate VMs across data centers
