• Question 102:

  An administrator is preparing for a deployment of a new vCenter Server Appliance. The following information has been provided to complete the deployment:

  ESXi Host name (FQDN): esxOl.corp local . ESXi IP Address: 172.20.10.200 vCenter Server Name (FQDN): vcsa01 corp.local vCenter Server IP Address: 172.20 10.100 NTP Server: 172.20.10.20 DNS Server: 172.20.10.1 Deployment Size: Tiny Storage Size: Default

  Which two actions must the administrator complete before starting the installation of the vCenter Server Appliance? (Choose two.)

  A. Create a DNS CNAME record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01.corp.local)
  B. Create a DNS CNAME record for the ESXi Host server (esx01.corp.local)
  C. Create a reverse DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).
  D. Create a reverse DNS A record for the ESXi Host server (esx01)
  E. Create a forward DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).
  C. Create a reverse DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).
  E. Create a forward DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01).

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The administrator must create a forward DNS A record for the vCenter Server (vcsa01), which maps the FQDN of the vCenter Server to its IP address. The administrator must also create a reverse DNS A record for the ESXi Host server (esx01), which maps the IP address of the ESXi Host to its FQDN. These DNS records are required for name resolution and certificate validation during the deployment of the vCenter Server Appliance.

• Question 103:

  Refer to the exhibit.

  

  An administrator enables email notifications as shown in the attached alarm. However, notifications are NOT being sent. Where must the mail server settings be configured to resolve this issue? (Choose the best answer.)

  A. In vCenter Server General settings in the vSphere Client.
  B. In the alarm rule definitions
  C. In the ESXi host system config for the cluster node hosting the vCenter Server Appliance
  D. In Administration settings in the vCenter Server Management Interface
  A. In vCenter Server General settings in the vSphere Client.

• Question 104:

  An administrator is tasked with configuring certificates for a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) based on the following requirements:

  All certificates should use certificates trusted by the Enterprise Certificate Authority (CA).

  The solution should minimize the ongoing management overhead of replacing certificates.

  Which three actions should the administrator take to ensure that the solution meets corporate policy? (Choose three.)

  A. Replace the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate with a self-signed certificate generated from the
  B. Replace the machine SSL certificates with custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.
  C. Replace the machine SSL certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA).
  D. Replace the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate with a custom certificate generated from the Enterprise CA.
  E. Replace the solution user certificates wife custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.
  F. Replace the solution user certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA).
  B. Replace the machine SSL certificates with custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.
  D. Replace the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate with a custom certificate generated from the Enterprise CA.
  E. Replace the solution user certificates wife custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Option B, D and E are correct because they allow the administrator to replace the machine SSL certificates, the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate and the solution user certificates with custom certificates generated

  from the Enterprise CA, which will ensure that all certificates are trusted by the Enterprise CA and minimize the ongoing management overhead of replacing certificates. Option A is incorrect because replacing the VMCA certificate with a self-

  signed certificate generated from the VMCA will not ensure that the certificate is trusted by the Enterprise CA. Option C is incorrect because replacing the machine SSL certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMCA will not

  ensure that the certificates are trusted by the Enterprise CA. Option F is incorrect because replacing the solution user certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMCA will not ensure that the certificates are trusted by the

  Enterprise CA.

• Question 106:

  After a number of outages within a production VMware software-defined data center, an administrator is tasked with identifying a solution to meet the following requirements:

  Reduce the risk of outages by proactively identifying issues with the environment and resolving them. Reduce the complexity of uploading log bundles when raising support tickets.

  Which solution should the administrator recommend to meet these requirements?

  A. VMware Aria Operations for Logs
  B. VMware Skyline Advisor Pro
  C. VMware Skyline Health
  D. VMware Aria Operations
  B. VMware Skyline Advisor Pro

  Explanation/Reference:

  Skyline Advisor Pro is a self-service web application that enables you to receive proactive intelligence with new insights, accelerated analysis, and simplified design, within a web browser. To activate Skyline Advisor Pro, upgrade your Skyline Collector to Skyline Collector 3.0 or later versions.

  The solution that should be recommended to reduce the risk of outages by proactively identifying and resolving issues with the environment and reducing the complexity of uploading log bundles is VMware Skyline Health, which provides automated support and proactive recommendations for vSphere.

• Question 107:

  What are two uses cases for VMware Tools? (Choose two.)

  A. Time synchronization with an NTP server
  B. Direct deployment of the Aria Automation Config minion
  C. Share folders between ESXi hosts and guest OS file systems
  D. Ability to shut down a virtual machine remotely
  E. Support for unsupported network device drivers
  C. Share folders between ESXi hosts and guest OS file systems
  D. Ability to shut down a virtual machine remotely

  https://www.stevenbright.com/2022/03/deploy-salt-minions-automatically- using-vmware-tools/

  Two use cases for VMware Tools are direct deployment of the Aria Automation Config minion and ability to shut down a virtual machine remotely. Direct deployment of the Aria Automation Config minion is a feature that allows the administrator to deploy a configuration management agent to a virtual machine using VMware Tools. This feature enables automation and orchestration of virtual machine configuration tasks. Ability to shut down a virtual machine remotely is a feature that allows the administrator to gracefully power off a virtual machine from the vSphere Client or other VMware products. This feature requires VMware Tools to be installed and running on the guest operating system.
