The vCenter Operations Manager dashboard is showing Health issues associated with the selected virtual machine. There have been no availability or configuration issues with the virtual machine, and the workload badge is still green: 

How should an administrator resolve this issue? 

A. Select the Anomalies badge to identify the cause of the abnormal behavior, then take appropriate action. 

B. Select the Stress badge to identify the cause of the increased stress, then take appropriate action. 

C. Select the Risk badge, identify the host at risk, and migrate the VM to a host with more resources. 

D. Select the Risk badge to identify how much time is remaining before CPU resources are gone, then assign more resources. 

Answer:

Q2. A Windows Server 2008 virtual machine with the following configuration receives an Out of Space condition indicator: 

.The virtual machine uses thin provisioned virtual disks. 

.The VMFS5 datastore on which the virtual machine's files reside is on a thin provisioned LUN. 

.30% of the VMFS datastore content is no longer needed. 

.The storage array supports VASA and VAAI. 

Which action should the vSphere administrator take to resolve the Out of Space problem without requesting additional space on the storage array? 

A. Delete unneeded files on the VMFS datastore and then use vmkfstools to reclaim deleted blocks. 

B. Delete unneeded files on the VMFS datastore, right-click the datastore in vSphere Web Client, and then select the Reclaim Deleted Blocks option. 

C. Delete some files from the guest OS and defrag its file system. 

D. Delete some files from the guest OS and use vmkfstools to reclaim the deleted blocks. 

Answer:

B. Ensure the latest version of VMware Tools has been downloaded to the Update Manager repository. 

C. Enable the Upgrade VMware Tools on Power Cycle option. 

D. Create a separate baseline object for each guest OS type . 

Answer:

Q5. An administrator has configured multi-pathing using an Fiber Channel array in an active-active configuration. 

What is the expected behavior of an ESXi host when a failed preferred path becomes available using the Fixed path selection policy for this array type? 

A. It automatically reverts to the preferred path. 

B. It continues using the current path until it is manually reverted. 

C. It resumes load balancing across all available paths. 

D. It reverts to the preferred path after the host has been restored and rebooted.

The vCenter Operations Manager dashboard shows Health issues associated with the selected virtual machine. There have been no availability or configuration issues associated with the virtual machine, and the workload badge is still green. 

What is the most likely reason for this health score? 

A. The workload for the virtual machine is higher than normal, which is generating a large number of anomalies within vCenter Operations Manager. 

B. A high stress and a pattern of constrained resources has been attributed to the virtual machine in vCenter Operations Manager. 

C. A recent migration to another host in the cluster has violated HA admission control policy. 

D. vCenter Operations Manager has determined that the time remaining for the virtual machine's assigned CPU resources is very low. 

Answer:

An ESXi host's networking is configured as shown. The virtual machine named Fileserver01 is unable to ping anything on an external network: 

Which condition would explain this behavior? 

A. The vSwitch1 virtual switch does not have an attached vmnic adapter. 

B. The Fileserver01 virtual machine is not running. 

C. vSwitch0 is configured to reject MAC address spoofing. 

D. vmk0 is using a non-routable IP address. 

Answer:

Q8. An administrator must determine which Update Manager procedures can be performed using the vSphere Web Client, and which must be completed using the Windows vSphere client. 

Which two tasks require the use of the Windows vSphere client? (Choose two.) 

A. Attach and detach baselines to inventory objects 

B. Scan inventory objects for compliance 

C. Create a baseline for an inventory object 

D. Stage a baseline for remediation 

Answer: C,D 

Q9. A vSphere Standard Switch is configured with two uplinks. 

When adjusting the failover order of the uplinks, what are two valid states in which an administrator can place the uplinks? (Choose two.) 

A. Active 

B. Unused 

C. Passive 

D. Disabled 

Answer: A,B 

Q10. A new LUN from an existing storage array is presented to a vSphere cluster. A vSphere 

administrator determines that the LUN is visible on all but one ESXi host in the cluster. The affected host is able to see existing LUNs presented from the same storage array. 

What is the most likely cause? 

A. LUN Masking is improperly configured on the storage array. 

B. The SAN fabric is improperly zoned. 

C. The ESXi host has NOT been rebooted. 

D. The HBA in the host is incompatible with ESXi. 

Answer:

Q11. During an upgrade, the ESXi 5.x installer finds an existing version of ESXi and a VMFS3 volume. No virtual machines exist on the host or VMFS3 volume. The requirement is to upgrade to VMFS5. 

Which option should be chosen to meet this requirement? 

A. Upgrade ESXi and preserve the VMFS datastore 

B. Install ESXi and preserve the VMFS datastore 

C. Install ESXi and overwrite the VMFS datastore 

D. Upgrade ESXi and overwrite the VMFS datastore 

Answer:

Q12. Immediately after installing an ESXi host, an administrator needs to examine the following log files: 

./var/log/hostd.log 

./var/log/vmkernel.log 

./var/log/vpxa.log 

Which two connections would allow an administrator to examine these files? (Choose two.) 

A. Connecting to the Direct Console User Interface 

B. Attaching a vSphere Client directly to the ESXi host 

C. Attaching the vSphere Web Client directly to the ESXi host 

D. Attaching the vSphere Client to the vCenter Server managing the ESXi host 

Answer: A,B 

Q13. An administrator needs to establish that a database server is entitled to twice the CPU resources than a web server during CPU resource contention. 

Which settings should the administrator change to accomplish this? 

A. Set the database server's CPU Shares to High and leave the web server's CPU Shares at Normal. 

B. Set the database server's CPU Shares to High and change the web server's CPU Shares to Low. 

C. Set the database server's Shares to High and change the web server's CPU Shares value to a custom value of 500. 

D. Set the database server's Shares to a Custom value of 500 and leave the web server's CPU Shares at Normal. 

Answer:

B. It allows the installation of a generic VAAI component for IP storage. 

C. It prevents ESXi from installing vSphere Flash Cache to the IP storage. 

D. It is required when installing ESXi onto a physical server that utilizes IP storage. 

Answer:

Q15. A vSphere administrator attempts to move a powered on virtual machine into a resource pool that is configured in an HA/DRS cluster. The operation fails. 

What condition would cause this behavior?
