• Question 385:

  An administrator views the Fault Tolerance pane of the Summary tab of a virtual machine and finds that the current status is Not Protected. What are two vSphere Fault Tolerance states that would cause the virtual machine to not be protected? (Choose two.)

  A. Stopped - Fault Tolerance has been stopped on the secondary virtual machine.

  B. Need Secondary VM - The primary virtual machine is running without a secondary virtual machine and is not protected

  C. Need Primary VM - The secondary virtual machine is running, and a new primary virtual machine cannot be generated.

  D. Disabled - Fault Tolerance is disabled.

  Correct Answer: BD

• Question 386:

  In the vSphere Client, the Resource Allocation tab for virtual machines displays host memory and guest memory. Which two statements best describe these terms? (Choose two.)

  A. Guest memory is the amount of physical memory that has been allocated to a virtual machine.

  B. Host memory is the amount of physical memory that has been allocated to a virtual machine.

  C. Guest memory is the memory usage of a virtual machine.

  D. Host memory includes VM overhead.

  Correct Answer: CD

  Guest Memory is actually the memory usage of a virtual machine. And the host memory includes VM overhead. Reference: http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/08/performance-metrics-of-vmware-virtual.html

• Question 387:

  Why is converting a virtual machine to a template significantly faster than creating a clone of the virtual machine?

  A. Making a clone creates a linked-mode virtual disk.

  B. Making a clone creates a full copy of the VMDK file.

  C. Making a clone only creates a copy of the .vmx file.

  D. The template conversion has low priority on the system CPU.

  Correct Answer: B

  Convert to Template, the other method used to create templates in vCenter, is much faster than Clone to Template, because it doesn't create a duplicate of the source VM; instead, it just changes the VM to the template format. Convert to Template is more flexible than Clone to Template because you can change the template back to a virtual machine at any time. For example, software installed to templates created through Clone to Template can't be updated. With Convert to Template, however, you can temporarily change the template to a virtual machine and install updates to the software, then change the VM back to template when done.

• Question 388:

  When memory is overcommitted, which two values can an administrator vary to increase the amount of physical memory granted to a given virtual machine? (Choose two.)

  A. Idle Memory Tax

  B. Shares

  C. VMMEMCTL

  D. Memory Reservation

  Correct Answer: BD

• Question 389:

  What reasons would prevent an administrator from deploying a virtual machine from a template? (Choose two.)

  A. The template is missing the .vmx configuration file.

  B. The vSphere Client is connected to an ESXi host.

  C. The template is listed as Orphaned.

  D. The administrator is using the vSphere Web Client.

  Correct Answer: BC

  When vSphere client is connected to an ESXi host, you cannot deploy a VM from a template. Similarly, if the template is listed orphaned, you cannot deploy a VM from it.

• Question 390:

  Click the Exhibit button.

  

  ACME Logging Inc. has been using the vSphere Web Client to deploy templates to a five- node vSphere 5.x cluster. After deploying a new template, the resulting virtual machine is not able to connect to the Development network to which it was assigned. When deploying another template, the message in the exhibit is shown.

  Based on this information, what is the likely problem?

  A. The interface on esxi2 that is assigned to the virtual switch is down.

  B. The interface on esxi2 that is assigned to the virtual switch is configured incorrectly.

  C. The Production virtual switch is internal only.

  D. The Production virtual switch is a vDS.

  Correct Answer: C

  As you can see in the exhibit, the production virtual switch is internal only. That's why the VM is not able to connect to the development network, which it was assigned to.
