C. A virtual disk on an NFS datastore

D. A raw device mapped disk in virtual compatibility mode

Correct Answer: B

Question 3

A vSphere administrator needs to increase the capacity of an existing Storage Distributed Resource Scheduler (SDRS) datastore cluster. The storage administrator has provisioned two new NFS datastores to be added to the cluster.

What is the likely reason that the action failed?

A. The datastores in the existing cluster have hardware acceleration enabled and the new datastores do not.

B. There are virtual machines running on the datastores being added to the cluster.

C. The SDRS cluster has not been placed into maintenance mode.

D. The datastores in the SDRS cluster are VMFS datastores.

Correct Answer: D

Question 4

An administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine from one datastore to another, but the virtual machine has a snapshot. The virtual machine is running on an ESXi 5.x host.
Which action must the vSphere administrator take to ensure that the snapshot data remains intact?

A. Consolidate the snapshot and then perform a Storage vMotion migration.

B. Perform a Storage vMotion migration and then copy the snapshot file to the new location.

C. Delete the snapshot and then perform the Storage vMotion migration.

D. Perform a standard Storage vMotion migration.

Correct Answer: D

Question 5

-- Exhibit -

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

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

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

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

Correct Answer: D

Question 6

Which vSphere feature creates a copy of a virtual machine that can be stored locally within a cluster or at another site, and provides the ability to rapidly restore a virtual machine within minutes?

A. vSphere Heartbeat

B. vSphere Replication

C. vSphere Data Protection

D. vSphere Snapshots

Correct Answer: B

Question 7

An administrator determines that when a host residing in a High Availability (HA) cluster fails, the virtual machines fail to restart on a remaining host, or will only restart after a long delay.
Which two conditions would account for this behavior? (Choose two.)

A. The virtual machines were not protected by vSphere HA at the time the failure occurred.

B. The virtual machines contain physical Raw Device Mappings.

C. Distributed Resource Scheduler was not enabled at the time the failure occurred.

D. There is insufficient spare capacity on hosts with which the virtual machines are compatible.

Correct Answer: A,D

Question 8

An administrator needs to configure vFlash Read Cache to improve performance.
What would benefit the most from enabling vFlash Read Cache?

A. Database virtual machines

B. Virtual machines replicated with vSphere Replication

C. Virtual machines migrated using Storage vMotion

D. Web Server virtual machines

Correct Answer: D

Question 9

A vSphere administrator is creating a vApp for a multi-tier application. Every time the vApp is started, the virtual machines perform a file system check.
Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?

A. Change the shutdown action in the vApp to Graceful Shutdown

B. Change the shutdown action in the vApp to Graceful Power Off

C. Change the shutdown action in the vApp to Guest Power Off

D. Change the shutdown action in the vApp to Guest Shutdown

Correct Answer: D

Question 10

What happens to the status of users already logged into ESXi Shell when a vSphere administrator enables lockdown mode?

A. Users remain logged in and can run commands, including disabling lockdown mode.

B. Users are logged out after a timeout specified by the vSphere administrator.

C. Users are immediately logged out of ESXi Shell.

D. Users remain logged in and can run commands, except to disable lockdown mode.

Correct Answer: D

Question 11

Which Single Sign-On deployment mode should an administrator use for two 5.x vCenter Servers configured with linked mode?

A. Multisite Single Sign-On

B. Single Sign-On with Linked Mode

C. Basic Single Sign-On

D. Basic Single Sign-On with vCenter Server Heartbeat

Correct Answer: A

Question 12

A vSphere administrator needs to configure the environment to send a notification to a monitored email address every time a vSphere alarm is triggered.
Which procedure should the administrator use to accomplish the task?

A. Use the vSphere web client to create a vCenter Server scheduled task that will send a notification email when an alarm is triggered.

B. Use the vSphere web client to configure the vCenter Server SNMP settings. Edit the alarm action to send a notification email.

C. Use the vSphere web client to create a vCenter Orchestrator workflow that will send a notification email when an alarm is triggered.

D. Use the vSphere web client to configure the vCenter Server SMTP settings. Edit the alarm action to send a notification email.

Correct Answer: D

Question 13

A vSphere administrator is configuring a fully automated DRS cluster and determines that DRS is not balancing virtual machine workloads.
What condition could cause this behavior?

A. HA is not properly configured on the hosts in the cluster.

B. Some of the virtual machines have been disabled from DRS.

C. The DRS threshold is configured on the most aggressive setting.

D. vMotion is not properly configured on the hosts in the cluster.

Correct Answer: D

Question 14

Which two traffic types can be enabled on the VMkernel adapters of an ESXi 5.5 host using the vSphere Web Client? (Choose two.)

B. iSCSI Traffic

C. Virtual SAN Traffic

D. Fault Tolerance Traffic

Correct Answer: C,D

Question 15

A vSphere administrator configures a preferred heartbeat datastore in an HA/DRS cluster configuration. The vCenter Server identifies an alternative preferred datastore.
Why would vCenter Server identify an alternative preferred datastore over the administrator's preference?

A. The selected datastore is an NFS datastore.

B. The selected datastore is not accessible to all of the hosts.

C. The selected datastore contains powered-on virtual machines.

D. The selected datastore is formatted with a 1 MB block size.

Correct Answer: B
