A. Install Update Manager Download Service on a machine with Internet access and configure an export policy to the Update Manager server. 

B. Install Update Manager Secure Gateway on a machine in the DMZ and configure an IPsec tunnel to the internal Update Manager server. 

C. Create a TFTP server as an HTTP proxy and configure an export policy to the Update Manager server. 

D. Enable gateway services on the Update Manager server and provide Internet access to the gateway address. 

Answer:

B. Upgrade VMware tools 

C. Upgrade virtual machine appliances 

D. Upgrade virtual machine guest OS 

Answer: A,B 

Q3. An administrator needs to migrate a company's physical servers to virtual servers and deploy into the ESXi 5.x cluster. During the process of converting to a virtual machine, the administrator needs to reduce the size of the disks. 

Which method should the administrator use to meet this requirement? 

A. Use VMware Converter hot cloning with volume-based cloning at the file level 

B. Shut down the physical server and use VMware Converter cold cloning with volume-based cloning at the block level 

C. Use VMware Converter hot cloning with volume-based cloning at the block level 

D. Shut down the physical server and use VMware Converter cold cloning with volume-based cloning at the file level 

Answer:

Q4. An application server has been added to an existing multi-tier application contained in a vApp. Shortly after a planned maintenance event, users are unable to access the application. 

What does the vSphere administrator need to change to ensure the application can be accessed? 

A. The startup order of the vApp 

B. The shutdown option to power off the virtual machines 

C. The IP Allocation policy to DHCP 

D. The Memory Shares to High 

Answer:

Q5. A vSphere administrator enables Fault Tolerance on a powered off virtual machine that has the following configuration: 

.The virtual machine's single thin provisioned virtual disk is sized at 100GB. 

.The datastore that houses the virtual machine has 120GB of free space. 

After Fault Tolerance has been configured, another administrator attempts to use Enhanced vMotion to move a 30GB virtual machine file into the same datastore and receives an error. 

What condition could cause this behavior? 

A. Fault Tolerance inflated the virtual machine's virtual disk file. 

B. Fault Tolerance created a temporary logging file on the same datastore. 

C. Fault Tolerance created a secondary copy of the virtual machine's virtual disk file. 

D. The Fault Tolerance logging file ran out of disk space. 

Answer:

Q6. To comply with security requirements, an administrator with a vCenter Server Appliance needs to force logoff of the vSphere web client after 10 minutes of inactivity. 

What should the administrator do to meet the requirement? 

A. Edit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10 

B. Edit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=600 

C. Edit: /var/lib/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties modify session.timeout=600 

D. Edit: /opt/vmware/vsphere-client/webclient.properties, modify session.timeout=10 

Answer:

Q7. An administrator using vCenter Operations Manager notices an increase in resource consumption by virtual machines over a period of time. The administrator needs to understand how adding more hosts or increasing resources in existing hosts will address the growing resource requirements of the virtual machines.

A. Host or Cluster Capacity Optimization Report 

B. What-if Scenarios 

C. Density and Reclaimable Waste badges 

D. Virtual Machine Optimization Report 

Answer:

Q8. A customer needs to size a single backup appliance for backing up 3TB of data. There is no requirement for guest level backups of SQL and Exchange.

Which resource pool setting will help ensure the application has adequate access to memory? 

A. Memory reservation 

B. High memory share value 

C. Unlimited memory 

D. Expandable reservation 

Answer:

A. Configure the virtual switch with VLAN Trunking and specify each VLANs on the port group containing the virtual machine. 

B. Configure a vSphere Distributed Switch with VLAN Trunking. Create a port group and configure it with Promiscuous Mode. Connect the virtual machine to that port group. 

C. Configure the port group containing the virtual machine for Promiscuous Mode. Set the port group to use VLAN 1. 

D. Configure a vSphere Distributed Switch with VLAN Trunking. Connect the virtual machine to the switch and enable Port Mirroring on the port group containing the virtual machine. 

Answer:
