• Question 113:

  When a vSphere administrator attempts to remediate a host with Update Manager, the host is unable to enter maintenance mode. Which condition is likely preventing the host from entering maintenance mode?

  A. A virtual machine on the host has a removable device connected.

  B. A virtual machine on the host is configured to use Fault Tolerance.

  C. A virtual machine is powered off and cannot be migrated to another host.

  D. A virtual machine is configured with a local .vswp file.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 114:

  While shutting down a vApp for maintenance, a vSphere administrator determines that one of the virtual machines stays powered on. The administrator manually powers off the virtual machine inside the vApp. Which step should the administrator take to prevent the virtual machine from staying powered on in the future?

  A. Change the Shutdown Action for the virtual machine to None

  B. Change the Shutdown Action for the virtual machine to Power Off

  C. Change the Shutdown Action for the virtual machine to Manual

  D. Change the Shutdown Action for the virtual machine to Excluded

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 115:

  A host in a 4-node HA\DRS cluster has failed. HA initiates restart tasks for the virtual machines on the remaining hosts in the cluster but half of them fail to restart. What is the likely reason virtual machines fail to restart?

  A. HA admission control is blocking the restart of the virtual machines due to insufficient resources to support the configured failover level of the cluster.

  B. The vMotion network has failed on the remaining hosts preventing the virtual machines from migrating.

  C. Storage vMotion has failed on the datastore containing the virtual machines preventing them from migrating.

  D. The failed host was the Master host in the cluster and no other hosts are able to perform the necessary HA function to restart the virtual machines.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 116:

  An administrator needs to install vSphere Update Manager using an external SQL Server 2008 R2 database. The administrator has created the database successfully, but cannot establish connectivity when testing the DSN. Which configuration setting could be causing the issue?

  A. The database was configured to use Windows authentication.

  B. The DSN was configured using a 32-bit ODBC connection.

  C. Update Manager does not support the use of a remote database.

  D. Port 9087 is being blocked by Windows Firewall on the Update Manager server.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 117:

  The vSphere administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine from one ESXi 5.5 host to another ESXi 5.5 host. The virtual machine has a virtual disk that is stored in local storage. Assuming only the vSphere Essentials licensing is in place, which technique should the administrator use to accomplish the migration?

  A. vMotion migration

  B. Cold migration

  C. Enhanced vMotion migration

  D. Storage vMotion migration

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 118:

  A vSphere administrator needs to add a CPU to a virtual machine, but upon editing the VM settings the option is grayed out. What would explain this behavior?

  A. The virtual machine is running

  B. The virtual machine has been configured with a CPU limit

  C. CPU Hot-add has not been enabled on the virtual machine

  D. The virtual machine is in a resource pool with no available CPU resources

  Correct Answer: AC

• Question 119:

  A vSphere administrator is attempting to upgrade an ESXi host using vSphere Update Manager.

  The administrator has attached the baseline and remediated the host. Update Manager reports the remediation process has completed successfully. However, upon inspection the host is not upgraded.

  What is the most likely reason for this issue?

  A. The ESXi host has less than 10MB free in its /tmp directory.

  B. The user performing the upgrade has insufficient privileges.

  C. The Update Manager service has not been configured with root level access to the host.

  D. The baseline has been configured using an invalid ISO image.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 120:

  What is the purpose of configuring a VMkernel port for Fault Tolerance logging?

  A. The selected vmkernel port is used to send external inputs from a primary virtual machine to its secondary counterpart.

  B. The selected vmkernel port is able to log Fault Tolerance events to a syslog server.

  C. The selected vmkernel port is used to trigger a failover from the primary machine if a hardware crash occurs.

  D. The selected vmkernel port is able to maintain a log of changes to the secondary virtual machine.

  Correct Answer: A
