Topic 1 - Exam A

Question #1 Topic 1

An administrator is tasked with applying updates to a vSphere cluster running vSAN using vSphere Lifecycle Manager. Downtime to the ESXi hosts

must be minimal while the work is completed.

The administrator has already completed the following steps and no errors have been returned:

Downloaded all applicable software and created a new image.

Attached the new image to the cluster and run a compliance check against the image for the cluster.

Ran a remediation pre-check for the cluster.

Which two series of steps should the administrator perform to start the remediation of the cluster using the new image? (Choose two.)

A. 1. Use the Remediate option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to remediate all of the ESXi hosts in the cluster in parallel.

2. Allow vSphere Lifecycle Manager to automatically control maintenance mode on the ESXi hosts.

B. 1. Place each of the ESXi hosts into maintenance mode manually.

2. Use the Stage option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software on all ESXi hosts one at a time.

C. 1. Leave all ESXi hosts in the cluster operational.

2. Use the Stage All option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software onto all ESXi hosts one at a time.

D. 1. Leave all ESXi hosts in the cluster operational.

2. Use the Stage All option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software onto all ESXi hosts in the cluster in parallel.

E. 1. Use the Remediate option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to remediate all of the ESXi hosts in the cluster in sequence.

2. Allow vSphere Lifecycle Manager to automatically control maintenance mode on the ESXi hosts.

Selected Answer: CE

CE seems to be the correct answer. Generally you would want to patch a vSAN cluster a node at a time (sequentially) so you do not inadvertently
cause a storage outage in the cluster. Also, if you look in the link below, you cannot remediate a vSAN cluster in parallel mode:

Parallel remediation is deactivated by default, but you can enable it during remediation or in the vSphere Lifecycle Manager general remediation
settings.
You cannot remediate in parallel hosts in a vSAN cluster

Cannot be answer A : a vSAN cluster cannot remediate all the hosts at the same time, it has to be update 1 by 1.
Cannot be answer B : It is useless to place the hosts in maintenance for staging
Cannot be answer C : The staging is done in parallel by default

So answers D and E :
- We let the hosts as-is
- We launch the staging, which is performed on all hosts in parallel
- Then we launch the Remediate All option : vLCM will put a host in maintenance and update it, and will continue sequencially.

AD
Update Manager places only one host from a vSAN cluster in a maintenance mode at any time. Because of that the host remediation process might
take an extensive amount of time to finish since Update Manager must handle the remediation of the hosts sequentially. Update Manager
remediates hosts that are part of a vSAN cluster sequentially even if you select the option to remediate them in parallel.

B. Correct: The vSphere Host Client allows administrators to generate separate log bundles for each ESXi host individually, making it easier to
troubleshoot specific issues on individual hosts.
C. Correct: The vSphere Client allows administrators to generate a combined log bundle that includes logs from all ESXi hosts in the
environment. This option is useful when VMware Support needs to analyze the logs from multiple hosts together.
D. Correct: The vSphere Client also allows administrators to generate separate log bundles for each ESXi host. This option is useful when
VMware Support requires logs from specific hosts.
E. Incorrect: As mentioned earlier, the vCenter Management Interface does not have an option to generate log bundles for all ESXi hosts.
F. Incorrect: Similarly, the vSphere Host Client does not have an option to generate a combined log bundle for all ESXi hosts.

From vSphere Client (H5UI) user can select the hosts to generate the log bundles.
So a user can select a single host or all the hosts to generate the log bundles.
This satisfies the option : C and D
Now obviously from each ESXis host client user can download only that hosts log bundle.

A. Paravirtual RDMA adapter: This type of adapter is a virtualized adapter that provides optimized support for RDMA within certain virtualization

B. RDMA network adapter: This is the correct type of adapter for RoCE v2. RDMA network adapters have hardware support for RDMA
operations, enabling efficient data transfers with low latency over Ethernet networks.

C. Software iSCSI adapter: This type of adapter is used for iSCSI storage communication, not for RDMA over Converged Ethernet.

D. Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter: This type of adapter allows encapsulation of Fibre Channel traffic over Ethernet networks, but it is
not used for RDMA over Converged Ethernet.

E. Software NVMe over RDMA storage adapter: This type of adapter enables NVMe over RDMA, which allows direct access to NVMe storage
devices using RDMA technology, but it is not directly related to RDMA over Converged Ethernet.

"RDMA allows direct memory access from the memory of one computer to the memory of another computer without involving the operating

remote direct memory access in a virtual environment"

Option A, the PVRDMA is required to establish the connection and in virtual environments and option B, the RDMA physical adapter is required
for the connection between separate ESXi, this as per KB:

the Standard-Config profile, you create a new profile with the same settings, including the storage configuration. Then, you can simply modify the
storage settings in the duplicated profile to suit the requirements for other hosts. This way, you retain the other specific configurations made on
the individual host profiles and only update the storage configuration settings to match the Standard-Config profile.

Option B allows the administrator to copy the storage settings from the "Standard-Config" host profile directly to all other host profiles. This
ensures that the storage configuration settings are applied uniformly across all host profiles without affecting other settings.

Option A is incorrect because exporting host customizations doesn't address modifying host profiles with specific storage settings.

Option C is incorrect because duplicating the "Standard-Config" host profile would create a new host profile with all settings, not just the
storage settings, and it would not affect the other existing host profiles.

Option D is incorrect because attaching the "Standard-Config" host profile to other hosts doesn't modify their existing host profiles to use the
storage configuration settings defined in the "Standard-Config" profile.

memory? (Choose two.)

A. Assign a custom memory share value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

B. Assign a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

C. Create a parent resource pool for the Production VMs.

Yes, but if you set High shares, then the percentage is High... What about adding a new host? Or adding new VMs to the pool? A
percentage-based approach seems better in my opinion. If the vSphere DRS Cluster is at its full capacity, then the Production Pool will
have high resource allocation in comparison to the Testing Pool.

About C or D: When you have DRS On, the cluster becomes a parent pool (invisible root resource pool) of all the pools below, so if you
have your Test VMs outside a child pool, they will inherit the resource allocation from the Cluster, which is going to be hierarchically
bigger than Production VMs Pool.

So yeah, I think A & D should be right.

We only want to guarantee resources for the Production VMs, the subject does not care about allocation of resources for Test VMs : so a single
resource pool is sufficient. As we will have a single resource pool, it is a Parent. --> Answer C

if you create a two RPs and set one with higher shares its the result that if contention occurs, the RP with more shares gets more power. A&D is

Selected Answer: AD

I think it's better to work with shares than reservation in this scenario. What about adding a new host? What about upgrading the host's hardware?
Or even adding new VMs to the pool? A percentage-based approach seems better in my opinion, as it is dynamic. The reservation is going to be a
static value for each resource in the pool. If the vSphere DRS Cluster is at its full capacity, then the Production Pool will have higher resource
allocation in comparison to the Testing Pool.

About C or D (Creating one Prod Pool or one Pool for each group of VMs): When you have DRS On, the cluster becomes a parent pool of all the
pools below (invisible root resource pool), so if you have your Testing VMs outside of the Testing Pool, they will inherit the resource allocation from
the Cluster, which is going to be hierarchically bigger than Production VMs Pool. That's why you should create 2 different pools in my opinion.

So yeah, I think A & D should be right.

To ensure that the Production VMs are always guaranteed the full allocation of memory in a vSphere cluster, you can perform the following steps:

B. Assign a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

By setting a memory reservation for the resource pool containing the Production VMs, you ensure that a specific amount of memory is reserved
exclusively for these VMs, and it won't be used by other VMs in the cluster, even when the cluster is fully utilized.
C. Create a parent resource pool for the Production VMs.

Creating a parent resource pool for the Production VMs allows you to prioritize the allocation of resources to VMs within that pool. You can then
set resource allocation policies for the parent resource pool to ensure that the Production VMs get the necessary resources.

B. Assigning a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs ensures that a specific amount of memory is
reserved exclusively for those VMs. This means that even in situations of high contention for resources, the Production VMs will receive their full
memory allocation.

E. Creating a child resource pool for the Test VMs is unrelated to ensuring that the Production VMs receive their fully allocated memory.
upvoted 2 times

  DesolateMarauder 4 months, 1 week ago

C. Creating a parent resource pool for the Production VMs may not directly address the issue of guaranteeing full memory allocation to the
Production VMs. Parent resource pools primarily serve as containers for child resource pools, and the resource allocation within parent pools
is usually done by dividing resources among the child resource pools. If there are no child resource pools created under the parent resource
pool, it may not impact the memory allocation to the Production VMs.

D. Creating a sibling resource pool for each of the Production and Test VMs may not address the issue of memory allocation either. Sibling
resource pools are at the same level in the resource pool hierarchy and do not inherently provide mechanisms to guarantee memory
allocation for specific VMs.

B. VMware vSAN: vSAN is a hyper-converged, software-defined storage solution that aggregates local storage devices across multiple ESXi hosts to
create a distributed storage pool. In vSAN, virtual machine components are stored as a set of objects, and each object represents a specific part of
a virtual machine, such as VMDK files, VM configuration files, and snapshots.

D. vSphere Virtual Volumes (vVols): vVols is a storage virtualization technology that allows vSphere to manage storage at the VM level granularity.
With vVols, VMs are stored as individual objects on the storage system, and each VM has its own set of objects, including VMDK files, configuration
files, and snapshots. vVols enables policy-based management of VM storage at the individual VM level.

Therefore, Option B is not a valid choice. The correct approach is to use the "Stage and Install" option to continue the process from the point
where the error occurred, as mentioned in Option A.

To clarify, when staging a patch in vCenter Server Appliance, if an error occurs during the process, the administrator can identify and resolve the
root cause of the issue. Once the issue is fixed, the administrator should proceed with the "Stage and Install" option, which will continue the
patch staging process from where it was interrupted, ensuring both staging and installation of the patch occur as intended.

The following constraints apply:

The remote secure location has no network connectivity to the outside world.

The business owner is not concerned if all changes in the application make it to the SDDC in the secure location.

The application’s data is hosted in a database with a high number of transactions.

What could the administrator do to create an image of the guest OS and application that can be moved to this remote data center?

A. Create a hot clone of the physical server using VMware vCenter Converter.

B. Create a cold clone of the physical server using VMware vCenter Converter.

not state if the DB is hosted on the application server so no need to consider cold cloning so my answer will be A.

Selected Answer: B

Given the constraints mentioned, the administrator should consider the following approach:

B. Create a cold clone of the physical server using VMware vCenter Converter.

Here's why this option is appropriate:

No network connectivity to the outside world: Since the remote secure location has no network connectivity to the outside world, performing a hot
clone (option A) would likely involve network communication. In contrast, a cold clone can be performed without network connectivity.

Business owner is not concerned if all changes make it to the SDDC: A cold clone captures a point-in-time snapshot of the server's state. This
means that it will not capture any changes made to the application and data after the clone is initiated. Given that the business owner is not
concerned about changes, a cold clone is suitable for this scenario.

B. Enable guest OS VSS quiescing for this virtual machine.

upvoted 7 times

  DesolateMarauder 4 months, 1 week ago

Guest OS VSS (Volume Shadow Copy Service) quiescing is essential for ensuring application-consistent backups of the virtual machine,
especially when dealing with databases and other applications that rely on consistent disk states. When VSS quiescing is enabled, vSphere
Replication coordinates with the guest operating system to create application-consistent snapshots, which are then used as part of the
replication process.
Enabling VSS quiescing helps ensure that the virtual machine remains online during the replication process and that the snapshots used for
replication are consistent, minimizing the risk of data corruption and ensuring a more reliable disaster recovery solution.
Options A, C, and D are not directly related to the specific requirements mentioned and do not address the need to maintain the virtual
machine online during replication or utilize snapshots for the process.

Option A (Configure the virtual machine storage policy) is related to storage policies, which may not be directly tied to the requirements for
guest OS VSS quiescing and replication.
Option C (Perform a full initial synchronization of the source virtual machine to the target location) is a standard part of setting up vSphere
Replication, but it does not specifically address the requirement for keeping the virtual machine online or using snapshots as part of the
replication process.
Option D (Configure network traffic isolation for vSphere Replication) refers to network configuration for vSphere Replication, but it is not
directly related to meeting the stated requirements.

I choose B.
Quiesce: If the flag is 1 or true, and the virtual machine is powered on when the snapshot is taken, VMware Tools is used to quiesce the file system
in the virtual machine. Quiescing a file system is a process of bringing the on-disk data of a physical or virtual computer into a state suitable for
backups. This process might include such operations as flushing dirty buffers from the operating system's in-memory cache to disk, or other
higher-level application-specific tasks.

Answer D.
If the restart option is greyed out, that means the VMware Tools are not installed, or there is an issue on vCenter. If the VMware Tools are not
installed, the only way to make the initial install is to log onto the guest OS...which is impossible here.
We can then suppose the VMware Tools are already installed, but the communication with the vCenter does not work. So we restart the vCenter.

Is it expected that the VM has VMware Tools installed? It is a key information that is missing and are needed for gracefully restart/shutdown. This
information completely changes the importance of the second one with "no access to log onto the operating system". If there are VMware Tools
and the options are greyed out, then it can be vCenter problem, if not you need to install them on the VM.

Probably the worst question in this dump.

The base image contains an image of VMware ESXi Server and additional components, such as drivers and adapters that are necessary to boot a
server. The base image is the only mandatory element in a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image. All other elements are optional.
Vendor add-on
The vendor add-on is a collection of software components that OEMs create and distribute. The vendor add-on can contain drivers, patches, and
solutions.
Firmware and drivers add-on
The firmware and drivers add-on is a special type of vendor add-on designed to assist in the firmware update process. The firmware and drivers
add-on contains firmware for a specific server type and corresponding drivers. To add a firmware and drivers add-on to your image, you must
install the hardware support manager plug-in provided by the hardware vendor for the hosts in the respective cluster.
Independent components
The component is the smallest discrete unit in an image. The independent components that you add to an image contain third-party software, for
example drivers or adapters.

The correct answers are A and C.

The vCenter Management Interface and vSphere Performance Charts are both tools that can be used to monitor VM performance. The vCenter
Management Interface is a web-based interface that provides a centralized view of all VMs in a vSphere environment. The vSphere Performance
Charts are a set of graphical tools that can be used to track VM performance over time.

The Direct Console User Interface (DCUI), vCenter Command Line Interface, and ESXi Shell are all tools that can be used to manage VMs, but they
are not specifically designed for monitoring VM performance.

To guarantee that VMs in the Retail distributed port group can access 50 percent of the available reserved bandwidth for VM traffic, the
administrator should create a network resource pool for the Retail distributed port group and allocate 50 percent of the reserved bandwidth for
VM traffic to it.
Given that there are four ESXi hosts, each with two 10 Gbps NICs, the total available bandwidth is 80 Gbps (4 hosts x 2 NICs per host x 10 Gbps
per NIC). The amount of bandwidth reserved for VM traffic is 4 Gbps. To allocate 50 percent of the reserved bandwidth for VM traffic to the
Retail distributed port group, the administrator should create a network resource pool for the Retail distributed port group with a size of 2 Gbps
(50 percent of 4 Gbps) and associate it with the distributed switch.
Therefore, the correct answer is:

To ensure compliance with the company policy for time synchronization, the administrator should take the following step:

C. Ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) source.

The company policy states that all physical servers must synchronize time with an external time source that is accurate to the microsecond. In
VMware environments, ESXi hosts are responsible for timekeeping within the virtual infrastructure. By configuring each ESXi host to use a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) source, the administrator can ensure that the hosts synchronize their time with a reliable external time source. NTP is a widely

A. One Supervisor will be created in a specific zone:

The article states that in a three-zone Supervisor deployment, there are three Supervisor control plane VMs, one in each zone. Each of these control
plane VMs manages the Kubernetes workloads within its respective zone.
E. Individual vSphere Namespaces will be spread across all zones:

The article mentions that a namespace resource pool is created on each vSphere cluster that is mapped to a zone. Since there are three Supervisor
zones, there will be three namespace resource pools, one for each zone. These namespaces are spread across all three underlying vSphere clusters,
and resources are allocated from all three clusters equally.
Therefore, based on the information provided in the article, options A and E are correct for a three-zone Supervisor deployment in vSphere with

Answer appears correct based on this:

In a three-zone Supervisor, a namespace resource pool is created on each vSphere cluster that is mapped to a zone. The namespace spreads across
all three vSphere clusters in each zone.

Since it doesn't mention a single namespace spread across all 3 zones, I would assume the supervisor would be in a single zone.

You can select either manual or automatic DNS configuration of the ESXi host.

The default is automatic. For automatic DNS to work, your network environment must have a DHCP server and a DNS server.

In network environments where automatic DNS is not available or not desirable, you can configure static DNS information, including a host name, a
primary name server, a secondary name server, and DNS suffixes.

upvoted 1 times

  DesolateMarauder 4 months, 1 week ago

B. In all-flash vSAN configurations, each host should have a minimum network bandwidth of 10 GbE (Gigabit Ethernet). This higher bandwidth is
necessary to support the increased performance and throughput requirements of all-flash storage, which typically delivers much faster read and
write operations compared to hybrid configurations.

To take advantage of the full potential of all-flash storage, a higher network bandwidth is recommended to ensure that data can be quickly and
efficiently transmitted between the hosts in the vSAN cluster.

Therefore, the correct answer is B. 10 GbE.

Selected Answer: B

Ans: B
vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) are only supported with 25Gbps and higher connection speeds. ESA ReadyNodes configured for vSAN
ESA will be configured with 25/50/100Gbps NICs.

vSAN OSA all-flash configurations are only supported with a 10Gb or higher connections. One reason for this is that the improved performance
with an all-flash configuration may consume more network bandwidth between the hosts to gain higher throughput.

Selected Answer: A

You can create an alarm definition for "Datastore Disk Usage" under datacenter, datastore cluster and datastore and spread what you have
triggered under a relevent target type which will be an appropriate child objects (for example "All datastore", "All datastore cluster" and the other
type of objects because you will not find it the "Datastore Disk Usage" ).
So i think the purpose of the question is not "where is it possible to configure" but how should it be configured.
But if you choose "Datastore Cluster" it will monitor the aggregation of all the datastore and it will not be relevent because you can have the
threshold triggered on datastore but it will not trigger the alarm defined under the datastore cluster.

An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager to install patches to a vSphere cluster. The cluster runs workload virtual machines

(VMs) that are incompatible with vSphere vMotion, and therefore cannot be live migrated between hosts during the installation of the patches.

Which configuration in vSphere Lifecycle Manager will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation

without migrating the VMs?

A. Enable Distributed Power Management (DPM) and set the VM power state to the suspend to disk option

B. Enable Quick Boot ana set the VM power stale to the suspend to disk option

C. Enable vSphere High Availability (HA) admission control and set the VM power stale to the suspend to memory option

Which four steps should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose four.)

A. Create a new published content library at the primary site.

B. Add the virtual machine template to the subscribed content library.

C. Create a new published content library in each secondary site.

each secondary site (Tokyo and New York). The subscribed content libraries should be configured to download content when needed, except for
the Tokyo subscribed content library, which should be configured to download content immediately. This will ensure that the new VM template is

Create a new published content library at the primary site (Option A): This step is correct. By creating a new published content library at the
primary site, you make the VM template available for subscription by other vCenter Server instances.
Create a new subscribed content library in each secondary site (Option D): This step is correct. By creating a new subscribed content library in
each secondary site, you allow accessing content from the published content library at the primary site.
Configure the subscribed content library to download content when needed (Option E): This step is correct. By configuring the subscribed
content library to download content on-demand, you save datastore space by only downloading content when it is required.
Add the virtual machine template to the published content library (Option G): This step is correct. The virtual machine template needs to be

An administrator is tasked with providing users access to objects within an existing VMware vCenter instance. The vCenter inventory has a single

data center with one management vSphere cluster and five workload vSphere clusters.

The following requirements must be met for assigning the users access:

Users must only be able to view all of the inventory objects associated with the management vSphere cluster.

Users must be able to edit all of the inventory objects associated with the workload vSphere clusters.

The administrator creates a custom role to provide the permissions needed to allow users to edit inventory objects.

Which series of steps should the administrator complete to assign the custom role and provide the required level of access to users?

A. Apply Global permissions to assign the Read Only role to the root vCenter object.

Apply vCenter permissions to assign the custom role to the workload vSphere clusters and enable propagation.

Memory Snapshots: When you capture the virtual machine's memory state, the snapshot retains the live state of the virtual machine.

Quiesced Snapshots: If the virtual machine is powered off or VMware Tools is not available, the Quiesce parameter is not available.

If either is true, the virtual machine will be in powered on state.

VM Encryption provides encryption for virtual machines and meets all the specified requirements. It encrypts the VM's data at rest and also ensures
that the data is encrypted during transit. Additionally, VM Encryption does not require specific hardware, making it a suitable choice for this
scenario.

Options A, B, and C do not directly address all of the specified requirements. Encrypted vSphere vMotion (A) is specifically related to encrypting the
vMotion traffic, not the VMs themselves. UEFI Secure Boot (B) is a security feature for booting and does not provide VM-level encryption. Host
Encryption (C) typically refers to encrypting the data on the host's storage devices, which is different from VM-level encryption.

Selected Answer: D

Answer is VM Encryption.

With vSphere Virtual Machine Encryption, you can encrypt your sensitive workloads in an even more secure way. Access to encryption keys can be
made conditional to the ESXi host being in a trusted state.

vSphere vMotion always uses encryption when migrating encrypted virtual machines.

An administrator is responsible for performing maintenance tasks on a vSphere cluster.

The cluster has the following configuration:

Identically configured vSphere ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04)

All workloads are deployed into a single VMFS datastore provided by the external storage array vSphere High Availability (HA) has not been

enabled vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) has not been enabled

Currently, a critical production application workload (VM1) is running on esx01.

Given this scenario, which two actions are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

A. Fully automated DRS must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when

esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

B. VM1 must be manually shut down and cold migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into

maintenance mode.

C. vSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is

placed into maintenance mode.

D. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance

You don't use HA to move workloads when you are doing maintenance. HA is in case a host goes down/network isolation etc. That will cause an
interruption in service and what this question is telling you to accomplish is not what HA is for. Even if it didn't say the workload was critical, you
would never use HA in this manner.

Hosts backed by DPU are associated with the vSphere Distributed Switch. It is configured during the creation of the distributed switch. Network
offloads compatibility cannot be modified after associating hosts to the distributed switch. You can only add hosts that are backed by DPU to these
distributed switches. ESXi on DPU is used as a traditional NIC until VMware NSX® transport node is configured. The vSphere Distributed Switch on
vCenter Server indicates if network offloading is permitted when VMware NSX® is enabled.

  RainWhisper 2 months, 2 weeks ago

DPUs are specialized hardware that can offload networking functions from the ESXi hosts, freeing up CPU resources for other tasks. When network
offloads compatibility is enabled on a vSphere Distributed Switch, the DPU can be used to perform tasks such as packet forwarding, routing, and
 security. This can significantly improve the performance of the network and reduce the CPU utilization on the ESXi hosts.

vSphere Distributed Services Engine alone does not allow networking operations from CPU to the DPU device.

Question #70 Topic 1

An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery (DR) options for a software-defined data center (SDDC).

The following requirements must be met:

• All virtual machines (VMs) must be protected to a secondary site.

• The source VMs must remain online until the failover.

• When failing over to the secondary site, application downtime is allowed.

• The DR failover must be managed from the vSphere Client.

• Costs must remain as low as possible.

How can the administrator accomplish this task?

A. Configure VMware Cloud Disaster Recovery (VCDR) and combine it with array-based stor-age replication.

B. Configure VMware a Site Recovery Manager and combine it with vSphere Replication.

C. Configure a subscribed content library on the secondary site.

D. Configure VMware Site Recovery Manager and combine it with array-based storage replica-tion.

Question #72 Topic 1

An administrator is tasked with allowing a single user the ability to take snapshots on a virtual machine. When looking in vCenter, the

administrator can see that there are already users and groups assigned permissions on the virtual machine as follows:

• The group VM_Users has the Virtual Machine Power User role.

• The group VM_Viewers has the Read Only role.

The administrator confirms that the user requesting the additional access is currently one of five members of the VM_Viewers group.

Which two steps should the administrator take to grant this user the additional access required without impacting the user access of others?

(Choose two.)

A. Add the user to the VM_Users group and leave the permissions on the virtual machine object unchanged.

B. Add a new permission on the virtual machine object selecting the user and the new custom role.

C. Edit the Read Only role to add the Virtual Machine Snapshot Management privileges.

D. Create a new custom role with the Virtual Machine Snapshot Management privileges.

Took me a while, but I found the answer:

"...to perform firmware updates on hosts that are of ESXi version 8.0 and later and that are in a vSAN cluster, you must manage that cluster with a
single image. You must also deploy an OEM-provided hardware support manager and register it as a vCenter Server extension. The hardware
support manager inspects the hardware of the hosts in the cluster and lists available and compatible firmware versions, which you can add to the
image for the cluster. The actual firmware update happens upon remediating the cluster against an image that contains a firmware add-on."

potential components you can add:
§ ESXi version – this component is mandatory; others are optional
§ Vendor add-on

VMware vCenter provides centralized management and orchestration capabilities for your entire vSphere environment, including Supervisor
clusters, vSphere Pods, and associated resources. It's an essential component for managing and configuring backups.

Velero is a popular open-source tool for Kubernetes cluster backups, including backing up vSphere Pods and persistent volumes. When used in
conjunction with Restic, it offers robust backup capabilities for container workloads in your environment.

  Pledian 3 months, 3 weeks ago

he correct answer is C, vSphere HA Restart Priority.

vSphere HA Restart Priority allows you to specify the order in which virtual machines are restarted after a host failure. This can be used to ensure
that critical virtual machines are restarted first.

In the scenario described, the database server is the most critical virtual machine, followed by the application server, and then the Web server. You
would therefore set the restart priority for the database server to 1, the application server to 2, and the Web server to 3.

This would ensure that the database server is restarted first, followed by the application server, and then the Web server. This would minimize the
impact of the host failure on the three-tier application

Question #86 Topic 1

An administrator is tasked with adding two additional hosts into an existing production vSphere cluster to support the need for additional

capacity.

The vSphere cluster currently has four identically configured ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04) that utilize Intel Skylake-based CPUs.

The two new hosts (esx05 and esx06) are con-figured identically in terms of memory and storage to the existing hosts, but utilize Intel Ice Lake-

based CPUs.

The administrator must ensure that:

• Any virtual machine migrates to any of the six ESXi hosts running in the cluster.

• There is no virtual machine downtime during the process of adding the new hosts.

Which step should the administrator take to meet these requirements?

A. Create a new vSphere cluster with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) enabled and move all hosts into the new cluster.

B. Create a new vSphere cluster and move only three hosts into the new cluster.

C. Configure Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode on the existing cluster and add the two new hosts into the cluster.

You can use the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) feature to help ensure vMotion compatibility for the hosts in a cluster. EVC ensures that all
hosts in a cluster present the same CPU feature set to virtual machines, even if the actual CPUs on the hosts differ. Using EVC prevents migrations
with vMotion from failing because of incompatible CPU

The EVC needs to be enabled in the VM, even if you create a new cluster with EVC configured, the VM will need to be shut down to have it

To be the correct answer as A. 30,000 other 2 VMs Gold and Silver shall be shut down or only Bronze shall be tested with this latency rate <29ms.
So in normal cases, some IOPS shall be consumed by the Gold and Silver VMs and hence the Bronze VM shall not get 30,000 IOPS for sure. but the
question has not been provided if the scenarios are all powered off-stage or live operation.

In this scenario, Storage I/O Control (SIOC) has been configured on a VMFS datastore with certain settings. SIOC helps manage and prioritize
storage I/O for virtual machines based on latency thresholds. Let's break down the information given and calculate the maximum number of IOPS
the bronze tier VM is entitled to:

Datastore IOPS Capacity: 30,000 IOPS

SIOC Latency Trigger: 30 ms
Latency Condition: Latency does not exceed 29 ms (which means the SIOC trigger isn't reached)
When the latency condition is not met (latency does not exceed 29 ms), SIOC does not actively throttle or limit IOPS for VMs. Therefore, in this
case, all three VMs (gold, silver, and bronze) would be entitled to utilize the full capacity of the datastore, which is 30,000 IOPS.

Since there is no active latency-based throttling happening when the latency is below 29 ms, the bronze tier VM is not limited to any specific
number of IOPS in this scenario.

 The answer is C, 10,000 IOPS.

Storage I/O Control (SIOC) is a feature of VMware vSphere that helps to ensure that all virtual machines on a datastore have a fair share of IOPS.
SIOC works by assigning each virtual machine a number of shares, and then allocating IOPS to the virtual machines based on their shares.

In this scenario, the datastore supports 30,000 IOPS, and the administrator has set SIOC to manual. This means that SIOC will not be triggered
unless the datastore latency exceeds 30 ms.

The three virtual machines are assigned the following shares:

Gold tier VM: 10 shares

Silver tier VM: 5 shares
Bronze tier VM: 2 shares
The maximum number of IOPS that the bronze tier VM is entitled to is 10,000 IOPS. This is calculated by multiplying the number of shares by the
total number of IOPS, and then dividing by the sum of the shares.

(2 shares * 30,000 IOPS) / (10 shares + 5 shares + 2 shares) = 10,000 IOPS

I believe the correct answer is A.

If the datastore latency does not exceed 29ms, Storage I/O Control (SIOC) will not be triggered. Therefore, the maximum number of IOPS the
bronze tier VM is entitled to would be the full capacity of the datastore, which is 30,000 IOPS.

An administrator needs to configure a content library solution based on the following infor-mation:

• A new corporate virtual machine (VM) template is created every month to include all of the latest patches.

• The new VM template should be downloaded from the primary data center site (London) to two secondary data center sites (Tokyo and New

York) as soon as possible.

• There is limited disk space available at one of the secondary data center sites (Tokyo) due to an ongoing data center consolidation project.

Which four steps should the administrator take to configure the content library solution before adding a VM template? (Choose four.)

A. Create a new published content library in each secondary site.

B. Configure the New York subscribed content library to download content immediately.

C. Configure the Tokyo subscribed content library to download content immediately.

The correct answers are A, C, E, and G.

Here are the steps to configure the management network on the ESXi host:

Set the value of the VMware ESXi Management Network VLAN ID to 10.
Configure at least two network adapters for the VMware ESXi Management Network.
Update the VMware ESXi Management Network IPv4 configuration to use a static IPv4 address.
Disable IPv6 for the VMware ESXi Management Network.
Update the VMware ESXi Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS servers for names resolution.

The other options are incorrect:

Selected Answer: C

Key is expandable
Expandable
(default)

The system considers the resources available in the selected resource pool and its direct parent resource pool. If the parent resource pool also has
the Expandable Reservation option selected, it can borrow resources from its parent resource pool. Borrowing resources occurs recursively from the
ancestors of the current resource pool as long as the Expandable Reservation option is selected. Leaving this option selected offers more flexibility,
but, at the same time provides less protection. A child resource pool owner might reserve more resources than you anticipate
upvoted 2 times

  marenco 3 months, 1 week ago

Selected Answer: C

No local resources are available for VM-K2, so it borrows resources from the parent resource pool,
RP-MOM. RP-MOM has 6GHz minus 1GHz (reserved by the virtual machine) minus 2GHz (reserved
by RP-KID), which leaves 3GHz unreserved. With 3GHz available, you can power on the 2GHz virtual
machine.

  DesolateMarauder 4 months, 1 week ago

Based on the information provided and the search results, the correct statement is:
D. VM-K2 cannot be powered on because there are not enough resources in RP-KID.
This is because the "RP-KID" resource pool has a reservation of 2GHz, and both "VM-K1" and "VM-K2" have a reservation of 2GHz each, totaling
4GHz. Therefore, there are not enough resources in "RP-KID" to power on "VM-K2," and it cannot borrow resources from the parent resource pool
"RP-MOM" because it has a reservation of 6GHz, and only 1GHz is currently being used by "VM-M1."

Option A is incorrect because deactivating expandable reservations is not necessary to turn on "VM-K2."

Option B is incorrect because reserving 6GHz for "VM-K3" would exceed the total reservation of 2GHz for "RP-KID."

Option C is incorrect because "VM-K2" cannot borrow resources from "RP-MOM" due to its reservation being higher than the current usage of

Question #102 Topic 1

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator is tasked with adding new capacity to an existing software-defined data center (SDDC).

• The SDDC currently hosts two vSphere clusters (ClusterA and ClusterB) with different CPU compatibilities.

• vSphere vMotion and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are currently in use in the SDDC.

• The new capacity will be implemented by provisioning four ESXi hosts running a new generation of Intel Skylake CPUs.

• All workload virtual machines (VMs) must support live migration to any cluster in the SDDC.

The administrator noticed the running critical "evc1" virtual machine (VM) shown in the exhibit is not migrating using vSphere vMotion to the

original Clusters A or B.

Which three steps must the administrator take to support this functionality? (Choose three.)

A. Disable the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on the VM.

B. Reboot the VM.

C. Configure the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on the VM to Intel Skylake.

D. Power on the VM.

E. Configure the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on vSphere Cluster A and B to sup-port Intel Skylake.

F. Power off the VM.
