    size of the disks.

    Which method should the administrator use to meet this requirement?

    A.

    Use VMware Converter hot cloning with volume-based cloning at the file level

    B.

    Shut down the physical server and use VMware Converter cold cloning with volume-based cloning at the block level

    C.

    Use VMware Converter hot cloning with volume-based cloning at the block level

    D.

    Shut down the physical server and use VMware Converter cold cloning with volume-based cloning at the file level

  • Question 52:

    An administrator needs to unmount a datastore that is also used for HA storage heartbeats.

    What is the least disruptive method for an administrator to perform this activity on a slave HA host?

    A. On the Datastore Heartbeating tab, unmount the datastore normally and confirm a new datastore has been selected.

    B. On the Datastore Heartbeating tab, specify an alternate datastore, then unmount the datastore normally.

    C. Disable HA datastore heartbeats, then unmount the datastore.

    D. Reduce the number of heartbeat datastores, then remove the datastore from the heartbeat list.

  • Question 53:

    When deploying two sibling resource pools (RP1 and RP2), an administrator needs to make all resources in RP1 available to virtual machines in RP2.

    Which configuration should the administrator use to meet this requirement?

    A. Set the Reservation of RP2 to 0

    B. Set the Reservation of RP1 to 0

    C. Set the Limit of RP1 to Unlimited

    D. Set the Limit of RP2 to Unlimited

  • Question 54:

    What is a characteristic of Virtual SAN?

    A. It supports Virtual Machine Storage Policies.

    B. It supports multiple Virtual SAN clusters for each host.

    C. It supports native snapshots and SE Sparse disks.

    D. It supports storage attached through USB, Fibre Channel, or iSCSI.

  • Question 55:

    Which two steps can an administrator take to upgrade an existing VMFS2 datastore to VMFS5? (Choose two.)

    A. Attach the VMFS2 datastore to an ESX 3.x host and upgrade it to VMFS3

    B. Attach the VMFS2 datastore to the vSphere 5 host and upgrade it to VMFS3

    C. Upgrade the datastore from VMFS3 to VMFS5 on a vSphere 5 host

    D. Upgrade the ESX host attached to the storage to vSphere 5

  • Question 56:

    A customer needs to select an appropriate Path Selection Policy (PSP) for their storage array. There is no requirement for a preferred path. The policy should not select a new path unless the current one fails. Which PSP meets the requirement?

    B. Round Robin

    C. Most Recently Used

    D. Asymmetric Logical Unit Access

  • Question 57:

    A vSphere administrator needs to place an ESXi host in maintenance mode to replace a hardware component. This host is a member of a Virtual SAN cluster that uses Automatic Mode Disk Groups. Availability of virtual machines running on this host is critical. HA and DRS are enabled on the Virtual SAN Cluster. Otherwise, the Virtual SAN cluster uses default values. Which action should the administrator take to automatically guarantee availability of virtual machines with the fastest migration time?

    A. Select Enter Maintenance Mode and accept the default values

    B. Select Enter Maintenance Mode and select Full Data Migration option

    C. Select Enter Maintenance Mode and select No Data Migration option

    D. Migrate the virtual machines to another host and datastore then select Enter Maintenance Mode

  • Question 58:

    An administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster using Automatic Mode Disk Groups. There is very little storage space left in the cluster. The administrator has access to an iSCSI storage array.

    Which approach should the administrator take to expand the Virtual SAN Cluster?

    A. Add new hosts to the cluster with available local disks then click the Claim Disks icon in the Disk Management section under the Virtual SAN tab.

    B. Add new disks to the hosts in the cluster then click the Claim Disks icon in the Disk Management section under the Virtual SAN tab.

    C. Add new hosts to the cluster with available local disk. No further action is required to claim the added storage.

    D. Provision new LUNs on the iSCSI storage and present one LUN to each host in the cluster. No further action is required to claim the added storage.

  • Question 59:

    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

  • Question 60:
