• Question 194:

  Which statement is accurate when choosing the storage controller for a virtual machine using the Create New Virtual Machine wizard in custom mode?

  A. There is a predetermined controller based on the guest OS, which cannot be changed.

  B. A controller is recommended based on the guest OS type. The administrator can choose this controller or select any other.

  C. There is a predetermined controller based on the guest OS, which can only be changed after the virtual machine is deployed.

  A. New Storage Devices and LUNs

  B. New Storage Devices and VMFS Volumes

  C. New VMFS Volumes and Datastores

  D. New VMFS Volumes and LUNs

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 197:

  An administrator needs to use guest OS clustering in a vSphere environment that uses a Fibre Channel SAN. The clustering software does NOT have a SCSI target or a SCSI command pass-through requirement.

  Which VMware storage type should the administrator use?

  A. Physical RDM

  B. VMFS

  C. Virtual RDM

  D. NFS

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 198:

  The current block size of a datastore in VMFS3 is 4MB. An administrator needs to upgrade the datastore to VMFS5 and wants to change it to 1MB block size. Which action should the administrator take?

  A. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS 5. Select the 1MB block size option during the upgrade.

  B. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.

  C. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS5. Use vmkfstools to change the block size on the upgraded datastore.

  D. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore. Upgrade the virtual machine hardware on the migrated VMs, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 199:

  A customer needs a datastore to be seen across multiple vSphere clusters with applications inside of the virtual machines that must detect the physical characteristics of the storage device. Which type of virtual disk meets this requirement?

  A. A virtual disk on a VMFS datastore

  B. A raw device mapped disk in virtual compatibility mode

  C. A raw device mapped disk in physical compatibility mode

  D. A virtual disk on an NFS datastore

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 200:

  A vSphere administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster with Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The cluster includes three ESXi hosts contributing one SSD and six SAS disks each. The administrator has four new ESXi hosts that boot from a fiber channel array and have no local disks attached. These four new hosts need additional shared storage but there is insufficient space on the fiber channel array. The hardware budget is limited.

  What can the administrator do to provide the needed storage for the lowest cost?

  A. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and use the existing storage in the cluster.

  B. Add an SAS RAID controller to each of the new hosts. Attach one SSD and six SAS disks to each RAID controller and then add the four hosts to the Virtual SAN cluster.

  C. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and contribute the fiber channel disks to the Virtual SAN.

  D. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and change to Manual Mode Disk Groups.

  Correct Answer: A
