The current block size of a datastore in VMFS3 is 4MB. An administrator needs to upgrade the datastore to VMFS5 and wants to change it to 1MB block size.
Which action should the administrator take?
A. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS 5. Select the 1MB block size option during the upgrade.
B. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.
C. Upgrade the datastore to VMFS5. Use vmkfstools to change the block size on the upgraded datastore.
D. Create a new VMFS5 datastore with a 1MB block size. Migrate all virtual machines from the existing datastore to the new datastore. Upgrade the virtual machine hardware on the migrated VMs, then delete the VMFS3 datastore.
A customer needs a datastore to be seen across multiple vSphere clusters with applications inside of the virtual machines that must detect the physical characteristics of the storage device. Which type of virtual disk meets this requirement?
A. A virtual disk on a VMFS datastore
B. A raw device mapped disk in virtual compatibility mode
C. A raw device mapped disk in physical compatibility mode
D. A virtual disk on an NFS datastore
A vSphere administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster with Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The cluster includes three ESXi hosts contributing one SSD and six SAS disks each. The administrator has four new ESXi hosts that boot from a fiber channel array and have no local disks attached. These four new hosts need additional shared storage but there is insufficient space on the fiber channel array. The hardware budget is limited. What can the administrator do to provide the needed storage for the lowest cost?
A. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and use the existing storage in the cluster.
B. Add an SAS RAID controller to each of the new hosts. Attach one SSD and six SAS disks to each RAID controller and then add the four hosts to the Virtual SAN cluster.
C. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and contribute the fiber channel disks to the Virtual SAN.
D. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and change to Manual Mode Disk Groups.
Which statement is true about the hardware configuration for ESXi hosts participating in a virtual SAN?
A. The hosts must have identical hardware.
B. Each host must have at least one Solid State Drive (SSD).
C. The hosts must have network attached storage.
D. Each host must have a RAID Controller.
An administrator has configured a vSphere 5.5 test environment to evaluate the Virtual SAN feature using
Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The administrator needs to disable the Virtual SAN cluster while preserving
the virtual machines running on that cluster. The administrator has already installed a vSphere 5.5 Client
on a Windows 7 desktop and also has access to the vSphere 5.5 Web Client.
What should the administrator do to disable the Virtual SAN?
A. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machines to another datastore then use the vSphere 5.5 Client to disable the Virtual SAN.
B. Use Storage vMotion to migrate the virtual machines to another datastore then use the vSphere 5.5 Web Client to disable the Virtual SAN.
C. Use the vSphere 5.5 Client to disable the Virtual SAN, which will automatically migrate the virtual machines via the Storage DRS feature.
D. Use the vSphere 5.5 Web Client to disable the Virtual SAN, which will automatically migrate the virtual machines via the Storage DRS feature.
A vSphere administrator observes a problem with the Virtual SAN Cluster Setting as shown: -- Exhibit -
-- Exhibit -
Which action should the administrator take on the vmkernel portgroup on all hosts used by Virtual SAN cluster to resolve this problem?
A. Select the Virtual SAN traffic option
B. Increase the MTU value
C. Change the DNS server address
D. Increase the Port Speed
Which feature requires an administrator to configure an RDM with Virtual Compatibility Mode?
A. vMotion
B. Virtual Machine Snapshots
C. High Availability
D. N-port ID Virtualization
A virtual machine has the following configuration:
Thin provisioned virtual disks
The VMFS datastore on which it resides is on a thin provisioned LUN.
The storage array is VAAI-enabled.
What is the behavior of the virtual machine when it encounters an out-of-space condition?
A. It is suspended.
B. It is gracefully shut down.
C. It is powered off.
D. It is converted to space-efficient sparse.
What should an administrator do to configure multi-pathing using software iSCSI?
A. Bind the VMkernel ports to the software iSCSI initiator
B. Configure Zoning between the hosts and SAN switches
C. Configure NIC teaming on the associated uplinks
D. Ensure jumbo frames are enabled end-to-end
Which two statements are true regarding a new vSphere deployment that is using software FCoE boot from SAN? (Choose two.)
A. Multi-pathing options must be configured by the vmkernel after boot.
B. The adapter must support iBFT or UEFI.
C. The adapter must support FBFT or FBPT.
D. Multi-pathing options must be configured in the Boot ROM.
