VMware VCP5-DCV Online Questions & Answers

• Question 151:

  A virtual machine is using a Fibre Channel attached RDM LUN. Which three use cases would necessitate a RDM? (Choose three.)

  A. VMware snapshots
  B. NPIV
  C. Physical server-to-virtual machine clustering
  D. Distributed file locking
  E. SAN management agents
  B. NPIV
  C. Physical server-to-virtual machine clustering
  E. SAN management agents

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  NPIV, physical server to virtual machine clustering and SAN management agents would need an RDM. Since they are crucial components of the RDM LUN makeup.

• Question 152:

  Which privilege should the administrator assign to allow a user to create baselines using Update Manager?

  A. Manage baseline
  B. Attach baseline
  C. Stage baseline
  D. Configure baseline
  A. Manage baseline

• Question 153:

  What options must be configured in the vCenter Server settings before email alerts can be sent? (Choose two.)

  A. Sender email address
  B. SNMP address information
  C. SMTP server information
  D. Email authentication information
  A. Sender email address
  C. SMTP server information

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  You need to setup the email before configuring email alerts. Specify sender email address, and SMTP server information so that the email can use the SMTP address to send the email to the specified email address.

• Question 154:

  An administrator is updating a program running on a virtual machine. The update file has been downloaded as an .iso file and placed on a shared NFS datastore. An attempt to mount the .iso file to the virtual machine fails, but subsequent testing shows that the .iso file can be mounted to a virtual machine running on another ESXi 5.x host.

  Which step can be taken to enable access to the .iso file for the affected virtual machine?

  A. Reboot all ESXi hosts in the cluster where the affected virtual machine is running.
  B. Refresh all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected VM.
  C. Rescan all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected VM.
  D. Unmount the volume from the ESXi host running the affected VM, and then add as a new datastore.
  B. Refresh all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected VM.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  The first step is to refresh all datastores on the ESXi host running the affected Virtual Machine. This way, the .iso file can be get access from the affected VM. Refreshing datastores, reinitiate the connections and make sure they are working fine.

• Question 155:

  In the vSphere Client, the Resource Allocation tab for virtual machines displays host memory and guest memory. Which two statements best describe these terms? (Choose two.)

  A. Guest memory is the amount of physical memory that has been allocated to a virtual machine.
  B. Host memory is the amount of physical memory that has been allocated to a virtual machine.
  C. Guest memory is the memory usage of a virtual machine.
  D. Host memory includes VM overhead.
  C. Guest memory is the memory usage of a virtual machine.
  D. Host memory includes VM overhead.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Guest Memory is actually the memory usage of a virtual machine. And the host memory includes VM overhead. Reference: http://www.vmwarearena.com/2012/08/performance-metrics-of-vmware-virtual.html

• Question 156:

  Which scenario requires an additional database server when adding vSphere Update Manager 5 to an environment?

  A. vCenter Appliance with an external Oracle database
  B. vCenter Application with the default database
  C. vCenter Application with an external SQL 2008 Enterprise database
  D. vCenter Appliance with an external DB2 database
  D. vCenter Appliance with an external DB2 database

• Question 157:

  -- Exhibit -

  

  -- Exhibit -

  A vSphere administrator attempts to manually vMotion a virtual machine but receives error messages related to the Shared Storage datastore shown in the exhibit.

  The administrator uses the vSphere Web Client and locates the datastore settings shown:

  Which action should the administrator take to resolve these errors?

  A. Reconnect server3 to the vCenter server.
  B. Select server3 and click Mount.
  C. Remove server3 from the cluster then re-add it.
  D. Right-click Not connected and select Connect.
  B. Select server3 and click Mount.

• Question 158:

  A user attempts a remote SSH connection to a newly-installed ESXi 5.x host to execute some commands. The SSH connection attempt fails, though the user is able to receive a ICMP ping back from the host. What must the administrator do to enable SSH? (Choose two.)

  A. Enable root logon on the ESXi server.
  B. Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.
  C. Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.
  D. Create a local user on the ESXi server.
  B. Open the SSH port on the ESXi firewall.
  C. Start the SSH service on the ESXi server.

• Question 159:

  An administrator is enabling Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) in a DRS cluster. The administrator wants only hosts with the newest Intel processors added to the cluster. Which setting satisfies this requirement?

  A. The baseline with the most CPUs listed
  B. The baseline with the fewest CPUs listed
  C. Any baseline that contains Future Intel processors
  D. Create a new baseline and add only the latest processor family
  D. Create a new baseline and add only the latest processor family

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Create a new baseline with the latest processor family so that you can have hosts with newest Intel processors added to the cluster.

• Question 160:

  A vSphere administrator finds a HA/DRS cluster status has turned RED indicating a degraded state. What is the likely reason for the indication?

  A. The cluster enabled for HA has lost resources and is unable to fulfill its failover requirements.
  B. The cluster does not have enough resources to satisfy the reservations of all resource pools and virtual machines.
  C. Incompatible CPU generations between hosts are preventing DRS migrations.
  D. The cluster is currently electing a Master host and is unavailable to perform HA functions.
  A. The cluster enabled for HA has lost resources and is unable to fulfill its failover requirements.
