  A. syslog

  B. fdm

  C. messages

  D. vmksummary

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 72:

  An ESXi 5.x host disconnects within 60 seconds after the administrator adds it to the vCenter Server inventory. The administrator determines that the issue could be related to a networking problem. Which networking port should the administrator check for connectivity from the host to vCenter Server?

  A. 902

  B. 903

  C. 443

  D. 9443

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 73:

  A storage engineer determines there are problems with the iSCSI network. A vSphere administrator needs to gather performance metrics from a specific ESXi 5.x host to determine if the issue is causing high storage latency on the ESXi host. Which tool should the vSphere administrator use to gather this data?

  A. esxtop

  B. vmkfstools

  C. vmware-cmd

  D. esxcli iscsi

  Correct Answer: A

  B. Thick Provision Lazy Zeroed

  C. Thin Provisioned

  D. Thin Provision Eager Zeroed

  Correct Answer: A

  Correct Answer: AD

• Question 77:

  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 78:

  A vSphere administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine from one host to another. The virtual machine

  .vswp file resides in local storage.

  Which two techniques can the administrator use to migrate the virtual machine? (Choose two.)

  A. vMotion migration

  B. Cold migration

  C. Storage vMotion migration

  D. Enhanced vMotion migration

  Correct Answer: AB

• Question 79:

  An administrator decreases the CPU share value for one of two virtual machines in a DRS cluster from 1000 to 100 shares. The DRS cluster contains more resources than both virtual machines can consume.

  The characteristics of the virtual machines are listed below:

  The second virtual machine is a clone of the first virtual machine.

  Both virtual machines are identical in every way.

  Both virtual machines are not attached to the IP network.

  Both virtual machines are powered on.

  A.

  The virtual machines will have equal performance under all conditions.

  B.

  The performance of the virtual machines will reduce by a factor of ten once the share value is adjusted.

  C.

  The virtual machines will have equal performance under normal conditions and reduced performance when contention occurs.

  D.

  The original virtual machine will perform better than the clone when contention occurs.

  What impact on the virtual machines' performance will be observed?

  Correct Answer: A

• Question 80:

  An administrator removes a virtual machine from a resource pool and places it in the DRS root resource pool. Users report the performance of the application running on the virtual machine has improved. The virtual machine relocation was the only change that occurred. What explains the change in application performance?

  A. The memory, storage, and/or CPU settings of the original resource pool restricted access to resources for the virtual machine.

  B. The configured memory, storage and/or CPU shares on the root resource pool are higher than the original resource pool.

  C. The memory, storage and/or CPU settings on the root resource pool restricted access to resources for the virtual machine

  D. The configured memory storage and/or CPU reservations on the root resource pool are higher than the original resource pool.

  Correct Answer: A
