• Question 421:

  An administrator creates a new Role of "Virtual Machine Creator" for members of the helpdesk and server teams. Privileges include.

  After applying the role, users report they are unable to create new Virtual Machines.

  What should be changed to allow new virtual machines to be created?

  A. Add a privilege to the role Virtual machine > Inventory - Create new

  B. Grant the teams the role at the Datacenter level

  C. Ensure Propagate to Child Objects is selected on the objects.

• Question 423:

  An administrator is creating a new virtual machine using the New Virtual Machine wizard in custom mode on an ESXi 5.x host with two quad-core CPUs. What would limit the maximum number of virtual sockets for the virtual machine to 8? (Choose three.)

  A. Windows 2008 32-bit is configured as the guest operating system.

  B. Virtual machine hardware version 8 is configured for the VM.

  C. Hyperthreading is disabled on the ESXi host.

  D. The ESXi host is configured with a Standard license.

  E. The number of cores per virtual socket is set to 4.

  Correct Answer: CDE

  Disable hyperthreading on the ESXi host and configure the host with a standard license. Then set the number of cores per virtual socket to 4 and you will limit the virtual sockets for a virtual machine to 8.

• Question 424:

  Virtual machine VM1 is unable to communicate with virtual machine VM2. Both virtual machines are connected to a portgroup named Production on vSwitch1 on host ESXi01. Which statement could explain why?

  A. The only vmnic connected to vSwitch1 on ESXi01 is set to unused

  B. The only vmnic connected to vSwitch1 on ESXi01 is set to standby

  C. Load balancing settings on Production do not match vSwitch1

  D. VM1 is configured for VGT, VM2 is configured for VST

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 425:

  Click the Exhibit button.

  

  ACME Catering Services is using esxtop to troubleshoot a performance problem with one of their ESXi 5.x hosts. Host disconnections from vCenter Server as well as sluggish performance when performing tasks on the host have been observed. Based on the output in the exhibit, how many vCPU's have been assigned to FileServer01?

  A. 1

  B. 2

  C. 4

  D. 8

  Correct Answer: D

  As we can see at the top we have 14vCPUs, 7VMs. So we have 14 vCPUs to distribute between the 7 VMs. I've broken down my thought process into several steps after looking for hints:

  Hint 1. Fileserver01 has a huge %RDY value (113.49). This means overprovisioning of vCPUs, excessive usage of vSMP or a limit (check %MLMTD) has been set.

  Hint 2. %MLMTD is 0.00. That means that the VM is not throttled. %MLMTD definition: the percentage of time the vCPU was ready to run but deliberately wasn't scheduled because that would violate the "CPU limit" settings. If larger than 0

  the world is being throttled due to the limit on CPU. Hint 3. Check %CSTP. It is 9.28, when the others are zero. %CSTP definition: Excessive usage of vSMP. Decrease amount of vCPUs for this particular VM. This should lead to increased

  scheduling opportunities. Now, seeing how high RDY is we definately get a hint that FileSever01 is overprovisioned. Add a value of 9.28 of %CSTP to the equation and that is definitely the case. In fact, with such a huge %CSTP I would guess

  that it is overprovisioned 8:1, meaning that it probably has a 8vcpus.

  Both scenarios 1 and 2 have a total of 14 vCPUs. However, due to the fact of %CSTP of being 9.28 I'd probably go with scenario 01 and say 8 vCPUs instead of 4vCPUs.

• Question 426:

  Which of these factors indicates a high likelihood that the performance of a virtual machine disk is being constrained by disk I/O?

  A. A large number of commands issued

  B. A high device latency value

  C. A high disk used value

  D. A large number of kilobytes read and written

  Correct Answer: B

  Disk performance bottlenecks are usually due to either Disk queue length or Disk Latency

• Question 427:

  It appears that a single vCPU virtual machine in a resource pool called Production is having performance problems because it does not have enough CPU resources available. Which two methods can be used to improve performance and reduce CPU contention of this virtual machine while maintaining compatibility with DRS? (Choose two.)

  A. Configure a CPU reservation for this virtual machine.

  B. Increase the CPU shares for the resource pool.

  C. Increase the CPU shares for the virtual machine.

  D. Increase the share priority setting for the Production resource pool.

  Correct Answer: AC

  To improve performance and reduce CPU contention of this virtual machine, you need to configure a CPU reservation and increase CPU shares for this virtual machine.

• Question 428:

  Users are experiencing performance issues when updating their database hosted on a virtual machine. The administrator determines that disk I/O is high across one of the HBAs on the ESXi host containing the virtual machine. What is the action will most likely correct the issue without significantly impacting other users or datastores?

  A. Manually configure the disk multipathing policy to Round Robin for the datastore

  B. Migrate the virtual machine to an NFS datastore using Storage vMotion

  C. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machine to a new VMFS5 datastore

  D. Map additional LUNs to the ESXi host and extend the datastores

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 429:

  Click the Exhibit button.

  

  Based on the exhibit, what is the reason that two of the paths are marked as standby?

  A. The other two paths were set to active.

  B. That is a characteristic of the storage array used.

  C. The active paths were set to preferred.

  D. The storage adapters need to be rescanned before those paths will be set to active.

  Correct Answer: B

  These paths are in standby mode because this is the characteristic of the storage array in use.

• Question 430:

  An administrator is editing the IP allocation policy for a vApp. Which three options are available? (Choose three.)

  A. Automatic

  B. Roaming

  C. Transient

  D. DHCP

  E. Fixed

  Correct Answer: CDE
