  B. 903

  C. 443

  D. 9443

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 22:

  An administrator adds an ESXi 5.x host to the inventory of a vCenter Server that is configured with a vSphere Distributed Switch. The vSphere Web Client indicates that the host is not responding. The administrator determines from the command line that the vpxa agent is stopped.

  What should the administrator do to resolve this issue without affecting the uptime of the virtual machines running on the host?

  A. Restart the management agents in the host's DCUI

  B. Remove and re-add the host to the vCenter inventory

  C. Restart the vCenter Server service

  D. Type /etc/vmware/vpxa start from the ESXi command line

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 23:

  -- Exhibit -

  

  -- Exhibit -An ESXi host's networking is configured as shown. The virtual machine named Fileserver01 is unable to ping anything on an external network:

  Which condition would explain this behavior?

  A. The vSwitch1 virtual switch does not have an attached vmnic adapter.

  B. The Fileserver01 virtual machine is not running.

  C. vSwitch0 is configured to reject MAC address spoofing.

  D. vmk0 is using a non-routable IP address.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 24:

  A security audit has revealed that a virtual machine on vSwitch1 is receiving all traffic sent to the virtual switch, violating corporate policy. The vSphere administrator examines the properties for vSwitch1, as shown in the exhibit: -- Exhibit -

  

  -- Exhibit -Which configuration explains why the virtual machine is receiving all traffic sent to vSwitch1?

  A. The Production port group has the Promiscuous Mode policy set to Accept.

  B. vSwitch1 has the Promiscuous Mode policy set to Reject.

  C. The Network Failure Detection policy on the Production port group is set to Link Status plus Beaconing.

  D. The Network Failure Detection policy on vSwitch1 is set to Link Status only.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 25:

  The administrator has deployed a third-party virtual appliance in the organization's vSphere environment and needs to use Update Manager to maintain the third-party appliance. How should the administrator accomplish this task with the least administrative effort?

  A. Add a new Download Source to Update Manager to obtain updates from the third party

  B. Manually download the third-party updates to Update Manager, which will then apply them to the appliance

  C. Obtain an update tool from the third party and use it to manage updates to the appliance

  D. Identify the third-party appliance from the supported list within Update Manager

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 26:

  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 Data Protection

  B. vSphere Replication

  C. vSphere Snapshots

  D. vSphere Heartbeat

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 27:

  An administrator is attempting to use Update Manager to patch a cluster of ESXi 5.x hosts.

  The administrator needs to stage the patches for a scheduled update after hours. When verifying the hosts after the scheduled upgrade, the administrator determines that one of the hosts was not remediated and patches are not staged. The

  host is using PXE as its boot method.

  What condition would cause this behavior?

  A. The host was rebooted prior to the scheduled remediation.

  B. Remediating PXE-booted hosts using Update Manager is unsupported.

  C. The user account used does NOT have the Remediate Hosts privilege.

  D. The RAMdisk on the host has insufficient capacity.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 28:

  How is changed block tracking (CBT) used in a vSphere implementation?

  A. CBT is used by the VMkernel to reduce time needed for virtual machine copy operations.

  B. CBT is used by VMware Data Protection (VDP) to reduce time needed for backup jobs.

  C. CBT is used by vCenter Server to reduce the size of snapshots.

  D. CBT is used by vSphere Replication for synchronous replication operations.

  Correct Answer: B

• Question 29:

  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. Perform a standard Storage vMotion migration.

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

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

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

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 30:

  What will cause the validation of a vMotion migration to fail?

  A. A virtual machine configured for CPU affinity

  B. A virtual machine configured with a local .vswp file

  C. A virtual machine configured to use NUMA

  D. A virtual machine configured with a shared Raw-Device Mapped disk

  Correct Answer: A
