  D. Increase the Port Speed
  A. Select the Virtual SAN traffic option

• Question 12:

  The characteristics of the virtual machines are listed below:

  The second virtual machine is a clone of the first virtual machine.

  Both virtual machines are identical in every way.

  Both virtual machines are not attached to the IP network.

  Both virtual machines are powered on.

  What impact on the virtual machines' performance will be observed?

  A. The virtual machines will have equal performance under all conditions.
  B. The performance of the virtual machines will reduce by a factor of ten once the share value is adjusted.
  C. The virtual machines will have equal performance under normal conditions and reduced performance when contention occurs.
  D. The original virtual machine will perform better than the clone when contention occurs.
  A. The virtual machines will have equal performance under all conditions.

• Question 13:

  An administrator has configured a vSphere Distributed Switch to send all network traffic to a collector virtual machine for analysis. However, after checking the collector virtual machine several hours later the administrator finds that no data has been collected. vSphere 5.x has been deployed in the datacenter.

  Which two items below could be causing this issue? (Choose two.)

  A. The source virtual machine does not have Promiscuous Mode enabled.
  B. The source and target virtual machines are not both the same on the vSphere Distributed Switch.
  C. The port group or distributed does not have Promiscuous Mode enabled.
  D. The port group or distributed port does not have NetFlow enabled.
  B. The source and target virtual machines are not both the same on the vSphere Distributed Switch.
  D. The port group or distributed port does not have NetFlow enabled.

  ---

  Explanation/Reference:

  Requirements for a collector virtual machine to analyze traffic from a vSphere Distributed Switch: 1) The source and target virtual machines must both be on a vNetwork Switch, but can be on any vDS datacenter.

  2) The port group on distributed port must have NetFlow enabled. Two methods to migrate a virtual machine from a vSphere Standard Switch (VSS) to a vSphere Distributed Switch (VDS): 1) Migrate the port group containing the virtual

  machine from a vNetwork Standard Switch using the Migrate Virtual machine networking option. 2) Edit the Network Adapater settings for the virtual machine and select a dvPort group from the list.

• Question 14:

  Which two migration techniques can be used together to move a running virtual machine to a local datastore on a different server? (Choose two.)

  A. Cold migration
  B. Storage vMotion
  C. vMotion
  D. vSphere Clone
  B. Storage vMotion
  C. vMotion

• Question 15:

  What are two valid use cases for vCenter Server Linked Mode? (Choose two.)

  A. An administrator wants to migrate running virtual machines between vCenter Server instances.
  B. An administrator wants to increase the vRAM entitlement pool.
  C. An administrator wants to manage a virtual server environment and a View environment from the same pane of glass.
  D. An administrator wants to search all inventory objects across multiple vCenter Server Virtual Appliance (vCSA) instances from one vSphere Client
  B. An administrator wants to increase the vRAM entitlement pool.
  C. An administrator wants to manage a virtual server environment and a View environment from the same pane of glass.

• Question 16:

  Which three statements regarding Network I/O Control (NetIOC) are accurate? (Choose three.)

  A. Isolation allows domination by any one traffic flow.
  B. Limits enforce maximum throughput control on a virtual machine.
  C. Enforce traffic bandwidth limit on the overall vDS set of dvUplinks.
  D. Load based teaming efficiently uses a vDS set of dvUplinks for network capacity.
  E. Relative shares fairly allocates available bandwidth among multiple flows.
  C. Enforce traffic bandwidth limit on the overall vDS set of dvUplinks.
  D. Load based teaming efficiently uses a vDS set of dvUplinks for network capacity.
  E. Relative shares fairly allocates available bandwidth among multiple flows.

• Question 17:

  Immediately after installing ESXi, an administrator observes that the Configure Lockdown Mode option is grayed out in the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI). What is the most likely explanation?

  A. The host has not yet been added to a vCenter Server.
  B. The BIOS on the host does not have NX/XD enabled.
  C. The ESXi host is running in evaluation mode.
  D. The host requires a reboot before this feature is available.
  A. The host has not yet been added to a vCenter Server.

• Question 18:

  An administrator is working to implement Storage Profiles in their environment. Which two ways can storage capabilities be generated? (Choose two.)

  A. They are generated by Datastore Clusters as LUNs are added to the cluster.
  B. They are automatically determined by the Storage Profile when it is created.
  C. They can be retrieved from the array through the VMware APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
  D. They can be manually generated by the administrator.
  C. They can be retrieved from the array through the VMware APIs for Storage Awareness (VASA).
  D. They can be manually generated by the administrator.

  Explanation/Reference:

  Understanding Storage Capabilities

  A storage capability outlines the quality of service that a storage system can deliver. It is a guarantee that the storage system can provide a specific set of characteristics for capacity, performance, availability, redundancy, and so on.

  If a storage system uses Storage APIs Storage Awareness, it informs vCenter Server that it can guarantee a specific set of storage features by presenting them as a storage capability. vCenter Server recognizes the capability and adds it to

  the list of storage capabilities in the Manage Storage Capabilities dialog box. Such storage capabilities are system-defined. vCenter Server assigns the system-defined storage capability to each datastore that you create from that storage

  system.

  NOTE:

  Because multiple system capabilities for a datastore are not supported, a datastore that spans several extents assumes the system capability of only one of its extents. You can create user-defined storage capabilities and associate them with

  datastores. You should associate the same user-defined capability with datastores that guarantee the same level of storage capabilities. You can associate a user-defined capability with a datastore that already has a system-defined

  capability. A datastore can have only one system-defined and only one user-defined capability at a time.

• Question 19:

  The VMware vCenter Server Appliance offers many features of the Windows application version. Which of the following features is only available on the Windows application version of vCenter?

  A. Host Profiles
  B. Template and clone customization
  C. Active Directory authentication
  D. Linked Mode
  D. Linked Mode

  Explanation/Reference:

  Linked mode is available in Windows Application version of vCenter only in vcenter server 4.x. It is not available in vCenter Server 5.x

• Question 20:

  An error occurs while building a new virtual machine with a thin provisioned virtual disk size of 20GB. The datastore has 35GB of free space. The datastore is overcommitted by 95GB.

  What is preventing the virtual machine from being built?

  A. The datastore is built on a thin provisioned LUN that has run out of storage array free space.
  B. The datastore has reached the maximum overcommitment threshold.
  C. The virtual disk used by the virtual machine cannot be thin provisioned on this datastore.
  D. The virtual disk used by the virtual machine requires more free space than is available in the datastore.
  A. The datastore is built on a thin provisioned LUN that has run out of storage array free space.
