• Question 262:

  An administrator is installing ESXi 5.x to a local SAS drive. The installation stops on a purple screen and

  shows the error:

  The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue. Could not populate the filesystem:

  Admission check failed

  Which action should the administrator take to resolve this issue?

  A. Upgrade the ESXi host to meet the minimum hardware requirement for installation.

  B. Disable the network interface cards (NICs) to ensure that third-party drivers do not interfere with installation.

  C. Enable hardware Virtualization Technology in the ESXi host BIOS.

  D. Disable the Host Bus Adapters (HBA) to ensure the installation targets the local disk.

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 263:

  An administrator of a secure environment needs to add an iSCSI target to a new ESXi host using the vSphere client. The administrator has configured discovery and performed a rescan operation, but the iSCSI target does NOT appear.

  Which action should the administrator take for the target to appear in the vSphere client?

  A. Configure appropriate CHAP authentication settings

  B. Bind a VMkernel port to the iSCSI initiator

  C. Configure Jumbo Frames prior to adding iSCSI targets

  D. Enable iSCSI in a vSphere Distributed Switch configuration

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 264:

  A vSphere administrator configures a preferred heartbeat datastore in an HA/DRS cluster configuration. The vCenter Server identifies an alternative preferred datastore.

  Why would vCenter Server identify an alternative preferred datastore over the administrator's preference?

  A. The selected datastore contains powered-on virtual machines.

  B. The selected datastore is formatted with a 1 MB block size.

  C. The selected datastore is an NFS datastore.

  D. The selected datastore is not accessible to all of the hosts.

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 265:

  An administrator determines that when a host residing in a High Availability (HA) cluster fails, the virtual machines fail to restart on a remaining host, or will only restart after a long delay.

  Which two conditions would account for this behavior? (Choose two.)

  A. The virtual machines were not protected by vSphere HA at the time the failure occurred.

  B. Distributed Resource Scheduler was not enabled at the time the failure occurred.

  C. There is insufficient spare capacity on hosts with which the virtual machines are compatible.

  D. The virtual machines contain physical Raw Device Mappings.

  Correct Answer: AC

• Question 266:

  Which two precautions should a vSphere administrator take before increasing the size of a VMFS datastore? (Choose two.)

  A. Unmount the datastore

  B. Perform a rescan to ensure that all hosts see the most current storage

  C. Quiesce I/O on all disks involved

  D. Shut down all virtual machines stored in the datastore

  Correct Answer: BC

• Question 267:

  An administrator needs to export system logs for an ESXi 5.5 host to determine the root cause for a host performance issue. This host supports manifest-driven exports of system logs.

  Which manifest is selected by default during the export system log wizard?

  A. Userworld

  B. Hostworld

  C. PerformanceSnapshot

  D. HungVM

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 268:

  The on-call system administrator has made a change on the ESXi host requiring a restart of the management network. The administrator forgot to restart the management network. Lockdown mode is configured in the Recommended configuration.

  Which action should the administrator take?

  A. Use the vSphere client to enable local authentication services, then logon directly to the ESXi Shell and run services mgmt-vmware restart.

  B. Use an SSH client to logon to the command line and run the services mgmt-vmware restart command.

  C. Use the vSphere client to enable the DCUI and then logon to the ESXi Shell and use the menu to restart the management network.

  D. Logon directly to the DCUI and use the menu to restart the management network.

  Correct Answer: D

• Question 269:

  A vSphere administrator creates a new vSphere Distributed Switch. The administrator receives notice from the service desk that a cluster of vSphere hosts has disconnected from vCenter Server.

  This disconnect occurred immediately after the new switch was created:

  This vSphere Distributed Switch is the only distributed switch managed by vCenter Server.

  The virtual machines are still functional and the applications are still accessible by end users.

  On the ESXi hosts, which step must the vSphere administrator take to allow vCenter Server to reconnect?

  A. Use the Direct Console User Interface to reattach the management vmnic to the appropriate switch

  B. Use the Direct Console User Interface to disable lockdown mode on each affected host

  C. Use the ESXi Shell to restart the mgmt-vmware service on each affected host

  D. Use the ESXi Shell to restart the vSphere Web Client service on each affected host

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 270:

  -- Exhibit --- Exhibit -

  

  The WinXP virtual machine user reports intermittent connectivity to the corporate network. The exhibit shows the current configuration.

  The configuration is as follows:

  This virtual machine runs in a DRS/HA cluster of two hosts.

  The VCP_DCV_Example vSphere Distributed Switch was recently created.

  The WinXP virtual machine was recently migrated from another vSphere Distributed Switch.

  The WinXP virtual machine was able to connect prior to migration to this switch.

  No changes to the VCP_DCV_Example switch have been made since creation.

  Which step should the administrator take to resolve the WinXP virtual machine's intermittent connectivity to the corporate network?

  A. Add the ESXi host to the switch where the virtual machine is currently running

  B. Disable Port Blocking on the VCP_DCV_Example switch

  C. Disable Port Blocking on the Production port group

  D. Enable Network I/O Control on the switch to better balance I/O

  Correct Answer: A
