An administrator views the Fault Tolerance pane of the Summary tab of a virtual machine and finds that the current status is Not Protected. What are two vSphere Fault Tolerance states that would cause the virtual machine to not be protected? (Choose two.)
- A. Stopped - Fault Tolerance has been stopped on the secondary virtual machine.
- B. Need Secondary VM - The primary virtual machine is running without a secondary virtual machine and is not protected
- C. Need Primary VM - The secondary virtual machine is running, and a new primary virtual machine cannot be generated.
- D. Disabled - Fault Tolerance is disabled.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Need Secondary VM - The primary virtual machine is running without a secondary virtual machine and is not protected
A. D. Disabled - Fault Tolerance is disabled.

Explanation

The correct answers are B and D. If the Fault Tolerance status is "Need Secondary VM," it means that the primary virtual machine is running without a secondary virtual machine, which makes it unprotected. If the Fault Tolerance status is "Disabled," it means that Fault Tolerance is disabled for the virtual machine, also making it unprotected.

Which two conditions prevent the application of a host profile to an ESXi 5.x host? (Choose two.)
- A. The host has multiple profiles attached.
- B. The host has not been placed into maintenance mode.
- C. The host is running virtual machines
- D. The host is an ESXi host.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. The host has not been placed into maintenance mode.
A. C. The host is running virtual machines

Explanation

The host must be placed into maintenance mode before applying a host profile to prevent any disruptions to the running virtual machines. If the host is not in maintenance mode, the profile cannot be applied. Additionally, if the host is running virtual machines, applying a host profile may cause disruptions to the virtual machines, so the profile cannot be applied in this case as well.

An administrator is editing the IP allocation policy for a vApp. Which three options are available? (Choose three.)
- A. Automatic
- B. Roaming
- C. Transient
- D. DHCP
- E. Fixed
Correct Answer(s)

A. C. Transient
A. D. DHCP
A. E. Fixed

Explanation

The administrator has the option to choose between three IP allocation policies for the vApp: Transient, DHCP, and Fixed. The Transient option means that IP addresses are allocated to virtual machines within the vApp dynamically, and they can change each time the vApp is powered on. The DHCP option allows the use of a DHCP server to allocate IP addresses to the virtual machines. The Fixed option means that IP addresses are manually assigned to the virtual machines and remain the same even when the vApp is powered off and on again.

ACME Junkmail Incorporated has been utilizing templates in their environment. They are running a 10-node ESXi 5.x Cluster and DRS has not been configured. Several virtual machines have been deployed from this template and successfully powered on, but a newly deployed virtual machine will not power on. There appear to be adequate CPU and Memory resources available on the host. Which three things can be done to allow more virtual machines to be deployed into the cluster from this template? (Choose three.)
- A. Select a different datastore for the virtual machine
- B. Move the swap file to a different location
- C. Deploy the virtual machine to a different host using the same datastore
- D. Enable DRS on the cluster to balance the virtual machine load out across hosts
- E. Increase the virtual machine memory reservation
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Select a different datastore for the virtual machine
A. B. Move the swap file to a different location
A. E. Increase the virtual machine memory reservation

Explanation

If you make reservations for your virtual machine’s that are equal to the amount of RAM assigned
to them, swapping and page sharing does not occur. You can over commit pretty heavily if you are
comfortable with poorer performance. If you do not set reservations, ESX host creates a .vswp file
equal to the difference between the amount of physical memory assigned to the virtual machine
and the reservation it has. By default, memory reservations are set to 0. If you have a virtual
machine with 2GB of memory without a reservation, it creates a 2GB .vswp file when it is powered
on. The virtual machine starts using the .vswp file if the server is out of physical RAM. If you set a
1GB reservation, it creates a 1GB .vswp file. The .vswp files are what allows for memory
overcommitment.

What are three valid objects to place in a vApp? (Choose three.)
- A. Folders
- B. Hosts
- C. Resource pools
- D. vApps
- E. Virtual machines
Correct Answer(s)

A. C. Resource pools
A. D. vApps
A. E. Virtual machines

Explanation

The question is asking for three valid objects that can be placed in a vApp. A vApp is a container for virtual machines and other vApp templates. Resource pools are used to allocate resources to virtual machines, so they can be placed in a vApp. vApps themselves can also be placed in a vApp, allowing for nested vApps. Finally, virtual machines are the main components of a vApp, so they can also be placed in a vApp. Therefore, the correct answers are C. Resource pools, D. vApps, and E. Virtual machines.

- C. The datastore is utilizing active/passive multipathing or NMP (Native Multi-Pathing).
- D. The datastore is storing virtual machines with one or more snapshots.
- E. The datastore is connected to an ESX/ESXi 4.0 host that is not managed by vCenter.
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. The datastore is connected to an ESX/ESXi 4.0 host that does not support Storage I/O Control.
A. B. The datastore is on an array that is performing system tasks such as replication.
A. E. The datastore is connected to an ESX/ESXi 4.0 host that is not managed by vCenter.

Explanation

The Non-VI workload detected on the datastore alarm can be triggered by three conditions. Firstly, if the datastore is connected to an ESX/ESXi 4.0 host that does not support Storage I/O Control. Secondly, if the datastore is on an array that is performing system tasks such as replication. Lastly, if the datastore is connected to an ESX/ESXi 4.0 host that is not managed by vCenter.

An administrator has just finished deploying a vApp for a web service. What three options are available to the administrator for IP allocation within the vApp? (Choose three.)
- A. Transient
- B. Fixed
- C. DHCP
- D. Bridged
- E. NAT
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Transient
A. B. Fixed
A. C. DHCP

Explanation

The administrator has three options for IP allocation within the vApp: Transient, Fixed, and DHCP.

- Transient IP allocation means that the IP address is assigned dynamically and can change each time the vApp is powered on or off. This is useful for temporary or short-term deployments.

- Fixed IP allocation means that the IP address is manually assigned and remains constant even if the vApp is powered on or off. This is useful for long-term or permanent deployments.

- DHCP IP allocation means that the IP addresses are assigned by a DHCP server within the network. This is useful for automatically assigning and managing IP addresses in a large-scale deployment.

These options provide flexibility and control over IP allocation within the vApp.

An administrator is working to implement Storage Profiles in their environment. Which two ways can storage capabilities be generated? (Choose two.)
- A. They are generated by Datastore Clusters as LUNs are added to the cluster.
- B. They are automatically determined by the Storage Profile when it is created.
- C. They can be retrieved from the array through the VMware APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
- D. They can be manually generated by the administrator.
Correct Answer(s)

A. C. They can be retrieved from the array through the VMware APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
A. D. They can be manually generated by the administrator.

Explanation

Storage capabilities can be generated in two ways. Firstly, they can be retrieved from the array through the VMware APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA). This allows the administrator to gather information about the storage capabilities directly from the storage array. Secondly, the administrator can manually generate the storage capabilities. This means that the administrator can manually define and configure the storage capabilities based on their specific requirements and environment.

Which VMware solution uses the security of a vSphere implementation and provides linked-clone technology to virtual desktops?
- A. VMware ACE
- B. VMware View
- C. VMware Workstation
- D. VMware ThinApp
Correct Answer

A. B. VMware View

Explanation

VMware View is the correct answer because it is a VMware solution that utilizes the security features of vSphere and offers linked-clone technology to virtual desktops. VMware ACE is not the correct answer as it is a separate product that provides secure remote access to virtual machines. VMware Workstation is a desktop virtualization solution for running multiple operating systems on a single machine, and VMware ThinApp is a tool for virtualizing applications.

Which two conditions will prevent a virtual machine from being successfully migrated using Storage vMotion? (Choose two.)
- A. The virtual machine has an RDM.
- B. The virtual machine has Fault Tolerance enabled.
- C. The virtual machine is running on a vSphere 5.x Standard host.
- D. The virtual machine has a disk stored on an NFS datastore.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. The virtual machine has Fault Tolerance enabled.
A. C. The virtual machine is running on a vSphere 5.x Standard host.

Explanation

Storage vMotion is a feature in VMware vSphere that allows the migration of a virtual machine's storage from one datastore to another while the virtual machine is running. However, there are certain conditions that can prevent a virtual machine from being successfully migrated using Storage vMotion. One of these conditions is when the virtual machine has Fault Tolerance enabled. Fault Tolerance is a feature in VMware vSphere that provides continuous availability for virtual machines by creating a secondary copy of the virtual machine on another host. This secondary copy cannot be migrated using Storage vMotion. Another condition that can prevent a virtual machine from being migrated using Storage vMotion is when the virtual machine is running on a vSphere 5.x Standard host. Storage vMotion requires the use of vSphere Enterprise or Enterprise Plus licenses. Additionally, having an RDM (Raw Device Mapping) or a disk stored on an NFS (Network File System) datastore does not prevent a virtual machine from being migrated using Storage vMotion.

Rate this question:

Under which two conditions can vStorage APIs for Array Integration (VAAI) provide a performance benefit? (Choose two.)
- A. When a virtual disk has VMDK files stored on an NFS datastore.
- B. When a virtual disk is created using the New Virtual Machine wizard.
- C. When cloning a virtual machine with snapshots.
- D. When a virtual disk is deleted.
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. When a virtual disk has VMDK files stored on an NFS datastore.
A. D. When a virtual disk is deleted.

Explanation

VAAI can provide a performance benefit when a virtual disk has VMDK files stored on an NFS datastore because it offloads certain storage operations to the storage array, reducing the workload on the ESXi host. Additionally, VAAI can also provide a performance benefit when a virtual disk is deleted because it allows the storage array to reclaim the space previously used by the virtual disk more efficiently.

An administrator is enabling Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) in a DRS cluster. The administrator wants only hosts with the newest Intel processors added to the cluster. Which setting satisfies this requirement?
- A. The baseline with the most CPUs listed
- B. The baseline with the fewest CPUs listed
- C. Any baseline that contains Future Intel processors
- D. Create a new baseline and add only the latest processor family
Correct Answer

A. D. Create a new baseline and add only the latest processor family

Explanation

The correct answer is D. Create a new baseline and add only the latest processor family. This setting allows the administrator to create a new baseline specifically for the newest Intel processors. By adding only the latest processor family to the baseline, the administrator ensures that only hosts with the newest Intel processors will be added to the cluster. This satisfies the requirement of only including hosts with the newest Intel processors.

Rate this question:
15.

Which two conditions must exist on all hosts in the cluster if Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) is used? (Choose two.)
- A. The cluster must be enabled for DRS.
- B. All hosts in the cluster must be running ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 or later.
- C. All hosts in the cluster must have hardware virtualization support enabled.
- D. The cluster must be enabled for HA.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. All hosts in the cluster must be running ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 or later.
A. C. All hosts in the cluster must have hardware virtualization support enabled.

Explanation

For Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) to be used, two conditions must exist on all hosts in the cluster. Firstly, all hosts in the cluster must be running ESX/ESXi 3.5 Update 2 or later. This ensures that the necessary software compatibility is met. Secondly, all hosts in the cluster must have hardware virtualization support enabled. This ensures that the hardware is capable of supporting virtualization. Therefore, options B and C are the correct answers.

Users are experiencing performance issues when updating their database hosted on a virtual machine. The administrator determines that disk I/O is high across one of the HBAs on the ESXi host containing the virtual machine. What is the action will most likely correct the issue without significantly impacting other users or datastores?
- A. Manually configure the disk multipathing policy to Round Robin for the datastore
- B. Migrate the virtual machine to an NFS datastore using Storage vMotion
- C. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machine to a new VMFS5 datastore
- D. Map additional LUNs to the ESXi host and extend the datastores
Correct Answer

A. A. Manually configure the disk multipathing policy to Round Robin for the datastore

Explanation

By manually configuring the disk multipathing policy to Round Robin for the datastore, the administrator can distribute the I/O load across multiple paths, reducing the strain on a single HBA. This can help improve performance without significantly impacting other users or datastores. Migrating the virtual machine to a different datastore or mapping additional LUNs may not directly address the high disk I/O issue.

An administrator takes a vSphere snapshot of a virtual machine and applies an OS update. After confirming the update the administrator cannot enable Fault Tolerance on the virtual machine and suspects there are snapshots that have not been consolidated. Which two operations can the administrator perform to verify consolidation is needed? (Choose two.)
- A. Expose the Needs Consolidation column in the virtual machines tab of the host.
- B. Browse the datastore containing the vmdk files and look for files with the "-delta.vmdk" extension.
- C. Expose the Needs Consolidation column in the virtual machine summary tab.
- D. Select and run the vSphere Cluster HealthCheck from the right-click menu of the cluster object.
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Expose the Needs Consolidation column in the virtual machines tab of the host.
A. B. Browse the datastore containing the vmdk files and look for files with the "-delta.vmdk" extension.

Explanation

To verify if consolidation is needed, the administrator can perform two operations. First, they can expose the Needs Consolidation column in the virtual machines tab of the host. This column will show if any virtual machines require consolidation. Second, they can browse the datastore containing the vmdk files and look for files with the "-delta.vmdk" extension. These files indicate that there are snapshots that have not been consolidated. By performing these two operations, the administrator can confirm if consolidation is needed.

An administrator has created a virtual machine that will be accessed from a public kiosk. Management has requested that the virtual machine be reset to a known state once a week or on demand if requested. Which method is the simplest way to meet this requirement?
- A. Configure the storage array to be vSphere aware and script routine array snapshot restores of the datastore.
- B. Implement a 3rd party imaging server and PXE boot the virtual machine off a static image.
- C. Set the VMDKs of the virtual machine to be Independent-Nonpersistent and schedule restarts of the virtual machine.
- D. Create Nonpersistent disks for the virtual machine and set the guest OS to reboot once a week.
Correct Answer

A. C. Set the VMDKs of the virtual machine to be Independent-Nonpersistent and schedule restarts of the virtual machine.

Explanation

Setting the VMDKs of the virtual machine to be Independent-Nonpersistent allows any changes made to the virtual machine to be discarded upon restart. This ensures that the virtual machine always starts in a known state. By scheduling regular restarts of the virtual machine, either once a week or on demand, the requirement of resetting the virtual machine to a known state is met. This method is the simplest because it does not require any additional hardware or software, such as a storage array or imaging server.

What are three true statements about quiescing virtual machine snapshots? (Choose three.)
- A. vSphere snapshot quiescing only occurs on Windows guest OSes.
- B. The quiescing operation is automatic with any snapshot.
- C. The quiescing operation varies by guest OS.
- D. Quiescing should occur before array-based snapshots to ensure consistency.
- E. VMware Tools is required for quiescing to be successful
Correct Answer(s)

A. C. The quiescing operation varies by guest OS.
A. D. Quiescing should occur before array-based snapshots to ensure consistency.
A. E. VMware Tools is required for quiescing to be successful

Explanation

The correct answer is C, D, and E. The quiescing operation varies by guest OS, meaning that different operating systems may have different methods of quiescing virtual machine snapshots. Quiescing should occur before array-based snapshots to ensure consistency, as it allows for the proper freezing of the file system and applications to create a stable snapshot. VMware Tools is required for quiescing to be successful, as it provides the necessary drivers and services for the virtual machine to communicate with the host and properly quiesce the snapshot.

An administrator has deployed vCenter Data Recovery and wants the largest possible deduplication store. Which three storage options can be used? (Choose three.)
- A. Two CIFS shares
- B. Two RDMs on a FCP array
- C. One NFS mount on the ESXi host and one RDMs on an iSCSI array
- D. One CIFS share and one FCP RDM
- E. Two NFS mounts on the ESXi host
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Two RDMs on a FCP array
A. C. One NFS mount on the ESXi host and one RDMs on an iSCSI array
A. E. Two NFS mounts on the ESXi host

Explanation

The correct answer is B. Two RDMs on a FCP array, C. One NFS mount on the ESXi host and one RDMs on an iSCSI array, E. Two NFS mounts on the ESXi host. These options can be used because they provide different storage options that can be used for deduplication. Using two RDMs on a FCP array allows for deduplication to be performed on the storage array itself. Using one NFS mount on the ESXi host and one RDM on an iSCSI array allows for deduplication to be performed on both the ESXi host and the iSCSI array. Using two NFS mounts on the ESXi host allows for deduplication to be performed on both NFS mounts.

An administrator has recently upgraded their Update Manager infrastructure to vSphere 5.x. Several hosts and virtual machines have not been upgraded yet. Which vSphere component when upgraded will have the least impact to the existing environment?
- A. Virtual Machine Hardware
- B. ESX Hosts
- C. VMFS datastores
- D. VMware Tools
Correct Answer

A. D. VMware Tools

Explanation

Upgrading the VMware Tools will have the least impact on the existing environment because it is a software component that is installed inside the guest operating system of a virtual machine. It provides additional functionality and performance improvements, but upgrading it does not affect the underlying infrastructure or other virtual machines. On the other hand, upgrading the Virtual Machine Hardware, ESX Hosts, or VMFS datastores can have a more significant impact on the environment as it may require downtime, compatibility checks, and potential configuration changes.

- C. Virtual Machine Virtual Hardware upgrades
- D. VMware Tools on machines without VMware Tools already installed
- E. Application patches within the virtual machine
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Operating system patches
A. D. VMware Tools on machines without VMware Tools already installed
A. E. Application patches within the virtual machine

Explanation

The correct answer is A, D, and E. Operating system patches, VMware Tools on machines without VMware Tools already installed, and application patches within the virtual machine all require a separate procedure or process to update. These updates cannot be performed through the Update Manager Baselines and need to be handled separately.

An administrator selects the Profile Compliance tab of an vSphere cluster, then selects Check Compliance Now. Which features requirements are not checked by this?
- A. vMotion
- B. Fault Tolerance
- C. DRS
- D. Host Profiles
Correct Answer

A. D. Host Profiles

Explanation

When the administrator selects the "Check Compliance Now" option on the Profile Compliance tab of a vSphere cluster, it checks the compliance of the cluster with the configured host profiles. Host profiles are used to ensure that hosts in the cluster are configured according to a predefined set of policies and settings. Therefore, the correct answer is D. Host Profiles, as this option specifically checks the compliance of host profiles and not the other features such as vMotion, Fault Tolerance, or DRS.

An administrator notices that log files kept on an ESXi 5.x host are being rotated very quickly, inhibiting the troubleshooting of an issue. Which two configuration changes will resolve the issue? (Choose two.)
- A. Configure syslog to send the logs a syslog server
- B. Increase the number of logs kept
- C. Increase the logging level
- D. Increase the size of the partition where log files are stored
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Configure syslog to send the logs a syslog server
A. B. Increase the number of logs kept

Explanation

To resolve the issue of log files being rotated quickly, the administrator can make two configuration changes. First, they can configure syslog to send the logs to a syslog server. By doing this, the logs will be stored externally, allowing for easier troubleshooting without the logs being rotated. Second, they can increase the number of logs kept. This will ensure that a larger number of logs are available for troubleshooting purposes. Increasing the logging level or the size of the partition where log files are stored will not directly address the issue of log rotation.

A. A. The VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices Service is not started.

Explanation

The error message "This program cannot display the webpage" indicates that there is an issue with accessing the webpage. In this case, the problem is likely caused by the VMware VirtualCenter Management Webservices Service not being started. This service is responsible for providing the necessary web services for monitoring the health status of the ESXi host. Without this service running, the administrator will not be able to access the Hardware Status tab.

An iSCSI array is being added to a vSphere 5.x implementation. An administrator wants to verify that all IP storage VMkernel interfaces are configured for jumbo frames. What are two methods to verify this configuration? (Choose two.)
- A. Run the esxcli network ip interface list command
- B. Run the esxcfg-vswif -l command
- C. Ensure that the Enable Jumbo Frames box is checked in the VMkernel interface properties in the vSphere client
- D. Ensure that the MTU size is set correctly in the VMkernel interface properties in the vSphere client
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Run the esxcli network ip interface list command
A. D. Ensure that the MTU size is set correctly in the VMkernel interface properties in the vSphere client

Explanation

To verify if all IP storage VMkernel interfaces are configured for jumbo frames in a vSphere 5.x implementation, the administrator can use two methods. First, they can run the "esxcli network ip interface list" command, which will display a list of network interfaces and their configurations. By checking the MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) value for each interface, the administrator can determine if jumbo frames are enabled. Second, they can ensure that the MTU size is set correctly in the VMkernel interface properties in the vSphere client. By checking the MTU value in the interface properties, the administrator can confirm if jumbo frames are enabled.

An administrator has configured a vSphere Distributed Switch to send all network traffic to a collector virtual machine for analysis. However, after checking the collector virtual machine several hours later the administrator finds that no data has been collected. vSphere 5.x has been deployed in the datacenter. Which two items below could be causing this issue? (Choose two.)
- A. The source virtual machine does not have Promiscuous Mode enabled.
- B. The source and target virtual machines are not both be on the same vSphere Distributed Switch.
- C. The port group or distributed does not have Promiscuous Mode enabled.
- D. The port group or distributed port does not have NetFlow enabled.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. The source and target virtual machines are not both be on the same vSphere Distributed Switch.
A. D. The port group or distributed port does not have NetFlow enabled.

Explanation

The correct answer is B and D. The issue could be caused by the source and target virtual machines not being on the same vSphere Distributed Switch, as this is necessary for the traffic to be sent to the collector virtual machine. Additionally, the port group or distributed port may not have NetFlow enabled, which is required for the data to be collected and analyzed by the collector virtual machine.

A vSphere 5 implementation consists of a fully automated DRS cluster with two ESXi 5.x hosts with the following vSphere Standard Switch configuration. 1. Switch A. three vmnics, one port group named sFTP-PG 2. Switch B. two vmnic, one port group named Web-PG 3. All vmnics are trunked to the same physical switch. DRS has been configured with an anti-affinity rule for all virtual machines in the Web-PG so that no more than half of the virtual machines run on any given host. The virtual machines on WebPG are experiencing significant network latency. The network team has determined that a performance bottleneck is occurring at the ESXi host level. Which solution will require the least amount of administrative work and the least amount of service interruption?
- A. Migrate Web-PG to Switch A and sFTP-PG to Switch B on each host
- A. Migrate Web-PG to Switch A and sFTP-PG to Switch B on each host
- C. Convert the three Switch Bs to a single vSphere Distributed Switch
- D. Use vMotion to redistribute some of the VMs in Web-PG to a different ESXi host
Correct Answer

A. A. Migrate Web-PG to Switch A and sFTP-PG to Switch B on each host

Explanation

Migrating the Web-PG to Switch A and sFTP-PG to Switch B on each host would require the least amount of administrative work and service interruption. This solution involves simply reconfiguring the port groups on the existing switches, without the need to create new switches or redistribute virtual machines using vMotion. By separating the two port groups onto different switches, it can help alleviate the performance bottleneck at the ESXi host level and improve network latency for the virtual machines in the Web-PG.

A user attempts a remote SSH connection to a newly-installed ESXi 5.x host to execute some commands. The SSH connection attempt fails, though the user is able to receive a ICMP ping back from the host. What must the administrator do to enable SSH? (Choose two.)
- A. Enable root logon on the ESXi server.
- B. Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.
- C. Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.
- D. Create a local user on the ESXi server.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.
A. C. Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.

Explanation

To enable SSH on the newly-installed ESXi 5.x host, the administrator must open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall and start the SSH service on the ESXi server. Opening the SSH port on the firewall allows incoming SSH connections to reach the server, while starting the SSH service ensures that the server is actively listening for SSH connections. By doing these two steps, the user will be able to establish a remote SSH connection to the ESXi host and execute commands.

An administrator is setting up vMotion in a vSphere environment. A migration is run to test the configuration, but fails. What could the administrator do to resolve the issue?
- A. Ensure the VMkernel port group is configured for Management Traffic.
- B. Enable VMkernel port group for the vSphere cluster.
- C. Ensure the vMotion enabled adaptors configured for the same subnet.
- D. Use a vDS instead of a standard switch.
Correct Answer

A. C. Ensure the vMotion enabled adaptors configured for the same subnet.

Explanation

The administrator should ensure that the vMotion enabled adaptors are configured for the same subnet. This is because vMotion requires the source and destination hosts to be on the same subnet in order to successfully migrate virtual machines. If the adaptors are not configured for the same subnet, the migration will fail.

An administrator is unable to connect a vSphere Client to an ESXi 5.x host. Which option can be selected from the direct console to restore connectivity without disrupting running virtual machines?
- A. Restore the Standard Switch from the ESXi host.
- B. Restart the Management Agents from the vSphere client.
- C. Restart the Management Agent from the ESXi host
- D. Disable the Management Network from the vSphere client
Correct Answer

A. C. Restart the Management Agent from the ESXi host

Explanation

Restarting the Management Agent from the ESXi host can restore connectivity without disrupting running virtual machines. This option allows the administrator to restart the necessary services on the host without affecting the virtual machines.

An administrator receives a complaint that a virtual machine is performing poorly. The user attributes the issue to poor storage performance. If the storage array is the bottleneck, which two counters would be higher than normal? (Choose two.)
- A. Average ESXi VMKernel latency per command, in milliseconds
- B. Average ESXi highest latency, in milliseconds
- C. Average virtual machine operating system latency per command, in milliseconds
- D. Number of SCSI reservation conflicts per second
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Average ESXi highest latency, in milliseconds
A. C. Average virtual machine operating system latency per command, in milliseconds

Explanation

If the storage array is the bottleneck, the average ESXi highest latency would be higher than normal. This refers to the amount of time it takes for the ESXi host to process the storage commands. Additionally, the average virtual machine operating system latency per command would also be higher than normal. This indicates that the virtual machine is experiencing delays in accessing and processing data from the storage array.

An administrator must decommission a datastore. Before unmounting the datastore, which three requirements must be fullfilled? (Choose three.)
- A. No virtual machines reside on the datastore.
- B. The datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.
- C. No registered virtual machines reside on the datastore.
- D. The datastore must not have any extents.
- E. The datastore must not be part of a datastore cluster.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. The datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat.
A. C. No registered virtual machines reside on the datastore.
A. E. The datastore must not be part of a datastore cluster.

Explanation

Before unmounting the datastore, the following three requirements must be fulfilled:

B. The datastore is not used for vSphere HA heartbeat: This ensures that the datastore is not being used for the high availability feature of vSphere.

C. No registered virtual machines reside on the datastore: This ensures that there are no virtual machines currently using the datastore.

E. The datastore must not be part of a datastore cluster: This ensures that the datastore is not part of a group of datastores that are managed together.

By fulfilling these requirements, the administrator can safely decommission the datastore without any potential issues or conflicts.

An administrator is informed that there will be a storage maintenance window and that failovers may occur. What is the expected length of time that a Windows 2008 virtual machine storage I/O will pause during a path failover?
- A. 0 to 30 seconds
- B. 90 to 120 seconds
- C. 60 to 90 seconds
- D. 30 to 60 seconds
Correct Answer

A. D. 30 to 60 seconds

Explanation

During a path failover in a Windows 2008 virtual machine, the expected length of time that the storage I/O will pause is between 30 to 60 seconds. This means that there may be a temporary interruption in the storage access for the virtual machine during the failover process.

A company wants to increase disk capacity for their vSphere environment Management mandates that: 1. vMotion must work in this environment. 2. The existing LAN infrastructure must be used. Which storage option best meets the company objectives?
- A. iSCSI
- B. Fibre Channel
- C. SATA
- D. NFS
Correct Answer

A. D. NFS

Explanation

NFS (Network File System) is the best storage option that meets the company objectives. NFS allows for the sharing of files across a network and can be used with existing LAN infrastructure. It is also compatible with vMotion, which is a requirement for the company's vSphere environment. iSCSI and Fibre Channel are also viable options for increasing disk capacity, but they may require additional infrastructure and configuration. SATA is not a suitable option as it is a type of hard drive interface and not a storage option for network sharing.

Which resource management technique can be used to relieve a network bottleneck caused by a virtual machine with occasional high outbound network activity?
- A. Convert the switch from a vSphere Standard Switch to a vSphere Distributed Switch.
- B. Create a new portgroup for the virtual machine and enable traffic shaping.
- C. Apply traffic shaping to the other virtual machines in the same port group.
- D. Apply traffic shaping to the virtual machine with high activity.
Correct Answer

A. B. Create a new portgroup for the virtual machine and enable traffic shaping.

Explanation

Creating a new portgroup for the virtual machine and enabling traffic shaping can help relieve a network bottleneck caused by occasional high outbound network activity. By creating a separate portgroup for the virtual machine, its network traffic can be isolated and managed separately from other virtual machines in the same port group. Enabling traffic shaping allows for the control and prioritization of network traffic, ensuring that the virtual machine with high activity does not overwhelm the network and cause a bottleneck.

An administrator has determined that storage performance to a group of virtual machines is reduced during peak activity. The virtual machines are located in a VMFS datastore called Production1 on an active-active storage array. The ESXi 5.x host running the virtual machines is configured with an MRU multipathing policy. Which two actions can be taken to improve the storage performance of these virtual machines? (Choose two.)
- A. Add virtual storage, create a VMFS datastore called Production2 on the new storage, and then migrate some of the virtual machines from Production1 to Production2.
- B. Change the storage multipathing policy to Round Robin.
- C. Add physical storage, create a VMFS datastore called Production2 on the new storage, and then migrate some of the virtual machines from Production1 to Production2.
- D. Change the storage multipathing policy to Fixed with default settings.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Change the storage multipathing policy to Round Robin.
A. C. Add physical storage, create a VMFS datastore called Production2 on the new storage, and then migrate some of the virtual machines from Production1 to Production2.

Explanation

To improve storage performance for the virtual machines located in the Production1 datastore, two actions can be taken. First, changing the storage multipathing policy to Round Robin will distribute I/O across all available paths, increasing throughput and reducing latency. Second, adding physical storage and creating a new VMFS datastore called Production2 will distribute the load across multiple datastores, further improving performance. Migrating some virtual machines from Production1 to Production2 will also help balance the workload and optimize performance.

An administrator is configuring vMotion in their environment. As part of the implementation, an administrator is examining resource mapping for virtual machines. What is a likely cause of the error shown in the exhibit?
- A. vMotion has been disabled because the are no other hosts in the cluster with vMotion enabled.
- B. vMotion has not been enabled on the Production port group.
- C. The administrator has not created a Managent network.
- D. vMotion has not been enabled on a VMkernel port group.
Correct Answer

A. D. vMotion has not been enabled on a VMkernel port group.

Explanation

Explanation: This only shows up in the Maps when the vmotion OPTION is not checked in the
PORT group – hence vMotion is DISABLED!
Other Notes: vMotion doesn’t need a “production” network it can use any network. It also should
not be using a “production” network. Datastore has nothing to do with vMotion in this diagram –
this is Maps – it would give a vmotion error if it wasn’t on the datastore not a vmotion disabled..

Which two circumstances might cause a DRS cluster to become invalid? (Choose two.)
- A. DRS has been disabled on one or more ESXi hosts.
- B. An ESXi host has been removed from the cluster.
- C. A migration on a virtual machine is attempted while the virtual machine is failing over.
- D. Virtual machines have been powered on from a vSphere Client connected directly to an ESXi
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. An ESXi host has been removed from the cluster.
A. D. Virtual machines have been powered on from a vSphere Client connected directly to an ESXi

Explanation

If an ESXi host is removed from the cluster, it can cause the DRS cluster to become invalid as the cluster is no longer balanced and may not have enough resources to properly distribute the virtual machines. Additionally, if virtual machines are powered on directly from an ESXi host using the vSphere Client, it bypasses the DRS cluster and can cause the cluster to become invalid as the virtual machines are not being managed by DRS.

An administrator has a DRS/HA cluster with five ESXi 5.x hosts. When the administrator tries to start a new Web server virtual machine, an error is displayed saying insufficient resources exist for HA. Based
- A. Shut down one or more virtual machines on the cluster.
- B. Set VM Restart Priority to Disabled for the Web server.
- C. Set Host Isolation response to Shut down.
- D. Suspend one or more virtual machines in the cluster.
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. Shut down one or more virtual machines on the cluster.
A. D. Suspend one or more virtual machines in the cluster.

Explanation

The correct answer is A. Shut down one or more virtual machines on the cluster and D. Suspend one or more virtual machines in the cluster. Both of these options involve freeing up resources by shutting down or suspending virtual machines on the cluster. By doing so, the administrator can allocate the necessary resources for starting the new Web server virtual machine and resolve the error of insufficient resources for HA.

An administrator is applying patches to a batch of ESXi 5.x hosts in an under-allocated HA/DRS cluster. An attempt is made to place the host into maintenance mode, but the progress has stalled at 2%. DRS is configured as shown in the exhibit. Of the four choices below, two would effectively resolve this issue. Which two steps could be taken to correct the problem? (Choose two.)
- A. Enable VMware EVC.
- B. Set the virtual machines on the host to Fully Automated.
- C. Shut down the virtual machines on the host.
- D. Move the virtual machine swap file off the local datastore.
Correct Answer(s)

A. B. Set the virtual machines on the host to Fully Automated.
A. C. Shut down the virtual machines on the host.

Explanation

Setting the virtual machines on the host to Fully Automated would allow DRS to automatically migrate the virtual machines to other hosts in the cluster, freeing up resources on the host being placed in maintenance mode. Shutting down the virtual machines on the host would also free up resources and allow the host to enter maintenance mode successfully.

An administrator is configuring Storage DRS in their environment. The Datastore cluster is composed of 4 VMFS3 volumes and 9 VMFS5 volumes. Storage DRS has been enabled, but is showing as disabled on several virtual machine disks in the datastore cluster. Which two conditions would cause this error to occur? (Choose two.)
- A. The virtual machine is stored on a VMFS 3 volume.
- B. One or more virtual machines have Persistent disks.
- C. The virtual machine is stored on a NFS datastore.
- D. The virtual machine is stored on a datastore with a 2mb block size.
Correct Answer(s)

A. A. The virtual machine is stored on a VMFS 3 volume.
A. B. One or more virtual machines have Persistent disks.

Explanation

This error occurs because Storage DRS is not compatible with VMFS3 volumes, so if a virtual machine is stored on a VMFS3 volume, Storage DRS will be disabled for that virtual machine. Additionally, if one or more virtual machines have Persistent disks, Storage DRS will also be disabled for those virtual machines.
