  C. Virtual machines in any port group on the virtual switch can monitor all of the traffic.

• Question 2:

  An administrator is configuring Storage DRS in their environment. The Datastore cluster is composed of 4 VMFS3 volumes and 9 VMFS5 volumes. Storage DRS has been enabled, but is showing as disabled on several virtual machine disks in the datastore cluster.

  Which two conditions would cause this error to occur? (Choose two.)

  A. The virtual machine is stored on a VMFS 3 volume.
  B. One or more virtual machines have Persistent disks.
  C. The virtual machine is stored on a NFS datastore.
  D. The virtual machine is stored on a datastore with a 2mb block size.
  A. The virtual machine is stored on a VMFS 3 volume.
  B. One or more virtual machines have Persistent disks.

  Explanation/Reference:

  Storage DRS does not work with VMFS 3 volume. So it will definitively show an error. If the error is shown on VMFS 5 volumes, it must be caused by the virtual machines that have persistent disks.

• Question 3:

  An administrator needs to establish that a database server is entitled to twice the CPU resources than a web server during CPU resource contention.

  Which settings should the administrator change to accomplish this?

  A. Set the database server's CPU Shares to High and leave the web server's CPU Shares at Normal.
  B. Set the database server's CPU Shares to High and change the web server's CPU Shares to Low.
  C. Set the database server's Shares to High and change the web server's CPU Shares value to a custom value of 500.
  D. Set the database server's Shares to a Custom value of 500 and leave the web server's CPU Shares at Normal.
  A. Set the database server's CPU Shares to High and leave the web server's CPU Shares at Normal.

• Question 4:

  Using the vSphere Storage Appliance (VSA) Manager to view the Appliances Status column, what are three valid states? (Choose three.)

  A. Degraded
  B. Connected
  C. Maintenance
  D. Online
  E. Offline
  A. Degraded
  D. Online
  E. Offline

• Question 5:

  -- Exhibit --- Exhibit -

  

  The vCenter Operations Manager dashboard is showing Health issues associated with the selected virtual machine. There have been no availability or configuration issues with the virtual machine, and the workload badge is still green:

  How should an administrator resolve this issue?

  A. Select the Anomalies badge to identify the cause of the abnormal behavior, then take appropriate action.
  B. Select the Stress badge to identify the cause of the increased stress, then take appropriate action.
  C. Select the Risk badge, identify the host at risk, and migrate the VM to a host with more resources.
  D. Select the Risk badge to identify how much time is remaining before CPU resources are gone, then assign more resources.
  A. Select the Anomalies badge to identify the cause of the abnormal behavior, then take appropriate action.

• Question 6:

  Which conditions are true regarding an ESXi 5.x host placed into maintenance mode while a member of a DRS cluster? (Choose two.)

  A. If the DRS cluster is in partially automated mode and vMotion is configured, its virtual machines will be moved automatically to other hosts in the cluster.
  B. If the DRS cluster is in fully automated mode and vMotion is configured, its virtual machines will be moved automatically to other hosts in the cluster.
  C. If the DRS cluster is in partially automated mode and vMotion is configured, its virtual machines that have a high restart priority will be migrated to other hosts in the cluster.
  D. All the virtual machines on the host must be migrated or powered off before the ESXi host will complete entering maintenance mode.
  B. If the DRS cluster is in fully automated mode and vMotion is configured, its virtual machines will be moved automatically to other hosts in the cluster.
  D. All the virtual machines on the host must be migrated or powered off before the ESXi host will complete entering maintenance mode.

• Question 7:

  A vSphere administrator determines that more metrics are available for viewing in the realtime view than are available in the daily view for a virtual machine. What is the reason for this discrepancy in the number of available metrics?

  A. The daily view does not contain all of the metrics that the realtime view does.
  B. The default vCenter statistics level is being used.
  C. A vCenter statistics level of 4 is being used.
  D. The daily view presents a different selection of metrics by default than presented by the realtime view.
  B. The default vCenter statistics level is being used.

• Question 8:

  Which two types of information can be obtained about a VMFS datastore using the Summary tab for a connected host in the vSphere Client? (Choose two.)

  A. Multipathing status for the datastore
  B. Hardware Acceleration status
  C. Alarm Actions status for the datastore
  D. Runtime name of the datastore
  B. Hardware Acceleration status
  C. Alarm Actions status for the datastore

• Question 9:

  A SAN administrator recently installed a storage encryption switch on the Fibre Channel Fabric. Shortly after the deployment, several new VMFS5 datastores recently created were dismounted. Attempts to manually mount them fail. VMFS5

  upgraded datastores are unaffected. All Storage arrays in use support VASA and VAAI.

  What is the root cause of this problem?

  A. All newly created VMFS5 datastores are tagged ATS_Only. The storage encryption switch blocks the ATS command.
  B. All newly created VMFS5 datastores are tagged XCOPY_Only. The storage encryption switch blocks the XCOPY command.
  C. All newly created VMFS5 datastores are tagged WRITE_SAME_Only. The storage encryption switch blocks the WRITE_SAME command.
  D. All newly created VMFS5 datastores were formatted with 1MB block size. The storage encryption switch does not support this block size.
  A. All newly created VMFS5 datastores are tagged ATS_Only. The storage encryption switch blocks the ATS command.

• Question 10:

  An administrator is building a new vSphere Standard Switch with two active uplinks. The physical switch ports for these uplinks are placed in an etherchannel.

  Which load balancing policy should the administrator use to support the etherchannel configuration?

  A. Route based on IP hash
  B. Route based on the originating virtual port
  C. Route based on source MAC hash
  D. Route based on physical NIC load
  A. Route based on IP hash
