• Question 302:

  An administrator is configuring Storage DRS in their environment. The Datastore cluster is composed of 4 VMFS3 volumes and 9 VMFS5 volumes. Storage DRS has been enabled, but is showing as disabled on several virtual machine disks in the datastore cluster.

  Which two conditions would cause this error to occur? (Choose two.)

  A. The virtual machine is stored on a VMFS 3 volume.

  B. One or more virtual machines have Persistent disks.

  C. The virtual machine is stored on a NFS datastore.

  D. The virtual machine is stored on a datastore with a 2mb block size.

  Correct Answer: AB

  Storage DRS does not work with VMFS 3 volume. So it will definitively show an error. If the error is shown on VMFS 5 volumes, it must be caused by the virtual machines that have persistent disks.

  An administrator is applying patches to a batch of ESXi 5.x hosts in an under-allocated HA/DRS cluster. An attempt is made to place the host into maintenance mode, but the progress has stalled at 2%. DRS is configured as shown in the exhibit. Of the four choices below, two would effectively resolve this issue. Which two steps could be taken to correct the problem? (Choose two.)

  A. Enable VMware EVC.

  B. Set the virtual machines on the host to Fully Automated.

  C. Shut down the virtual machines on the host.

  D. Move the virtual machine swap file off the local datastore.

  Correct Answer: BC

  Set the virtual machines on the host to fully automated. This way they will be automatically placed onto hosts at power on and vCenter will suggest migration recommendations. Next, shut down the virtual machines on the host to resolve the progress that has stalled at 2%.

• Question 304:

  Click the Exhibit button.

  

  An administrator has a DRS/HA cluster with five ESXi 5.x hosts. When the administrator tries to start a new Web server virtual machine, an error is displayed saying insufficient resources exist for HA. Based on the HA configuration in the exhibit, which two changes can resolve the issue? (Choose two.)

  A. Shut down one or more virtual machines on the cluster.

  B. Set VM Restart Priority to Disabled for the Web server.

  C. Set Host Isolation response to Shut down.

  D. Suspend one or more virtual machines in the cluster.

  Correct Answer: AD

  Shut down one or more virtual machines on the cluster and suspend one or more virtual machines in the cluster to prevent the insufficient resources error.

• Question 305:

  Which two circumstances might cause a DRS cluster to become invalid? (Choose two.)

  A. DRS has been disabled on one or more ESXi hosts.

  B. An ESXi host has been removed from the cluster.

  C. A migration on a virtual machine is attempted while the virtual machine is failing over.

  D. Virtual machines have been powered on from a vSphere Client connected directly to an ESXi host.

  Correct Answer: BD

• Question 306:

  Click the Exhibit button.

  

  An administrator is configuring vMotion in their environment. As part of the implementation, an administrator is examining resource mapping for virtual machines. What is a likely cause of the error shown in the exhibit?

  A. vMotion has been disabled because the are no other hosts in the cluster with vMotion enabled.

  B. vMotion has not been enabled on the Production port group.

  C. The administrator has not created a Managent network.

  D. vMotion has not been enabled on a VMkernel port group.

  Correct Answer: D

  This only shows up in the Maps when the vmotion OPTION is not checked in the PORT group hence vMotion is DISABLED!

  Other Notes: vMotion doesn't need a "production" network it can use any network. It also should not be using a "production" network. Datastore has nothing to do with vMotion in this diagram this is Maps it would give a vmotion error if it wasn't on the datastore not a vmotion disabled.

• Question 307:

  An administrator is unable to connect a vSphere Client to an ESXi 5.x host. Which option can be selected from the direct console to restore connectivity without disrupting running virtual machines?

  A. Restore the Standard Switch from the ESXi host.

  B. Restart the Management Agents from the vSphere client.

  C. Restart the Management Agent from the ESXi host

  D. Disable the Management Network from the vSphere client.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 308:

  A user attempts a remote SSH connection to a newly-installed ESXi 5.x host to execute some commands. The SSH connection attempt fails, though the user is able to receive a ICMP ping back from the host. What must the administrator do to enable SSH? (Choose two.)

  A. Enable root logon on the ESXi server.

  B. Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.

  C. Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.

  D. Create a local user on the ESXi server.

  Correct Answer: BC

• Question 309:

  An administrator is setting up vMotion in a vSphere environment. A migration is run to test the configuration, but fails. What could the administrator do to resolve the issue?

  A. Ensure the VMkernel port group is configured for Management Traffic.

  B. Enable VMkernel port group for the vSphere cluster.

  C. Ensure the vMotion enabled adaptors configured for the same subnet.

  D. Use a vDS instead of a standard switch.

  Correct Answer: C

• Question 310:

  A vSphere 5 implementation consists of a fully automated DRS cluster with two ESXi 5.x hosts with the following vSphere Standard Switch configuration:

  1.

  Switch A. three vmnics, one port group named sFTP-PG

  2.

  Switch B. two vmnic, one port group named Web-PG

  3.

  All vmnics are trunked to the same physical switch.

  DRS has been configured with an anti-affinity rule for all virtual machines in the Web-PG so that no more than half of the virtual machines run on any given host. The virtual machines on WebPG are experiencing significant network latency.

  The network team has determined that a performance bottleneck is occurring at the ESXi host level.

  Which solution will require the least amount of administrative work and the least amount of service interruption?

  A. Migrate Web-PG to Switch A and sFTP-PG to Switch B on each host

  B. Move a vmnic from Switch A to Switch B on each host

  C. Convert the three Switch Bs to a single vSphere Distributed Switch

  D. Use vMotion to redistribute some of the VMs in Web-PG to a different ESXi host

  Correct Answer: B

  Let us examine this is a problem with resource contention on a NIC on a host. VDS WILL NOT fix the problem because dvuplinks are the same as uplinks on the ESX host experiencing a problem. VMotion should not be a solution, DRS already has VMotion and knows where to place VMs using defined rules.
