• Question 151:

  An administrator needs to configure an alarm that notifies administrators if an application is impacted by overcommitment of memory resources. The environment consists of 100 virtual machines running on 5 ESXi hosts that are configured in a fully automated HA/DRS cluster.

  Where should the administrator set the alarm to meet the requirement?

  A. On each virtual machine

  B. On each host

  C. On the Production resource pool

  D. On the cluster

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 152:

  A. Use the vSphere web client to configure a scheduled task to take a snapshot every four hours.

  B. Use the vSphere web client to configure a scheduled workflow to take a snapshot every four hours.

  C. Use the vSphere web client to manually initiate a snapshot of the virtual machine every four hours.

• Question 154:

  An administrator needs to use performance information from Windows virtual machines to better understand their effect on the vSphere 5.x hosts on which they run. What must the administrator do to collect this information?

  A. Install VMware Tools with the PERFMON counters enabled in the Advanced option of the installer.

  B. Install VMware Tools. Add counters in the PERFMON utility.

  C. Install VMware Tools. Edit the VMware Tools settings to enable the VM-specific counters.

• Question 155:

  Which condition will cause a HA/DRS cluster to display a yellow health indicator?

  A. There are insufficient resources to satisfy the cluster's requirements.

  B. A virtual machine has failed and cannot be restarted in the cluster.

  C. Virtual machine I/O activity in the cluster has reached or exceeded a critical level.

  D. One or more hosts in the cluster has entered maintenance mode.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 156:

  A vSphere administrator finds a HA/DRS cluster status has turned RED indicating a degraded state.

  What is the likely reason for the indication?

  A. The cluster enabled for HA has lost resources and is unable to fulfill its failover requirements.

  B. The cluster does not have enough resources to satisfy the reservations of all resource pools and virtual machines.

  C. Incompatible CPU generations between hosts are preventing DRS migrations.

  D. The cluster is currently electing a Master host and is unavailable to perform HA functions.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 157:

  C. Host is I/O constrained.

  D. Guest is I/O constrained.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 158:

  An organization has a HA/DRS cluster containing a mixture of ESXi 4.1 and 5.5 hosts in the cluster. An ESXi 5.5 host has failed and HA attempted but failed to restart the virtual machines on another host. HA admission control is disabled. What condition could result in this behavior?

  A. A virtual machine has an incompatible hardware version

  B. Insufficient resources exist on the remaining ESXi hosts

  C. vMotion migration is not supported between ESXi 5.5 and 4.1 hosts

  D. HA failover is not supported between ESXi 5.5 and 4.1 hosts

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 159:

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

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

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

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

  Correct Answer: A
