VMware VCP550 Online Questions & Answers

• Question 171:

  An administrator is attempting to use Update Manager to patch a cluster of ESXi 5.x hosts.

  The administrator needs to stage the patches for a scheduled update after hours. When verifying the hosts after the scheduled upgrade, the administrator determines that one of the hosts was not remediated and patches are not staged. The

  host is using PXE as its boot method.

  What condition would cause this behavior?

  A. The host was rebooted prior to the scheduled remediation.
  B. Remediating PXE-booted hosts using Update Manager is unsupported.
  C. The user account used does NOT have the Remediate Hosts privilege.
  D. The RAMdisk on the host has insufficient capacity.
  A. The host was rebooted prior to the scheduled remediation.

• Question 172:

  An administrator has configured multi-pathing using an Fiber Channel array in an active-active configuration.

  What is the expected behavior of an ESXi host when a failed preferred path becomes available using the Fixed path selection policy for this array type?

  A. It automatically reverts to the preferred path.
  B. It continues using the current path until it is manually reverted.
  C. It resumes load balancing across all available paths.
  D. It reverts to the preferred path after the host has been restored and rebooted.
  A. It automatically reverts to the preferred path.

• Question 173:

  A virtual machine is unable to communicate with another virtual machine. Both virtual machines are connected to the Production port group on the same virtual switch and are running on the same host.

  Which configuration is causing the inability of the virtual machines to communicate?

  A. LLDP was enabled instead of CDP for the vSphere Distributed Switch.
  B. Promiscuous Mode has been set to Allow on the Production port group.
  C. The Production port group is configured to use a secondary PVLAN.
  D. The speed and duplex settings for the virtual machine vmnics do not match.
  C. The Production port group is configured to use a secondary PVLAN.

• Question 174:

  Which statement is true about the hardware configuration for ESXi hosts participating in a virtual SAN?

  A. The hosts must have identical hardware.
  B. Each host must have at least one Solid State Drive (SSD).
  C. The hosts must have network attached storage.
  D. Each host must have a RAID Controller.
  B. Each host must have at least one Solid State Drive (SSD).

• Question 175:

  -- Exhibit ---Exhibit -A vSphere administrator assigns VLAN 3389 to the Production port group on the VCP_DCV_Example vSphere Distributed Switch. After the change, users report a loss of connectivity to their applications. Further analysis provides the following data:

  

  The cluster has not had a ESXi host failure.

  Application functioned normally prior to the change.

  The loss of connectivity occurred immediately following the change. Which condition would cause this loss of connectivity?

  A. The physical switch ports used by the vmnics have not been configured with 802.1Q.
  B. Maintenance Mode was initiated on one of the hosts in the cluster. Connectivity will resume after the virtual machines are migrated.
  C. All uplinks were removed from the VCP_DCV_Example switch and added to another virtual switch.
  D. A load balancing setting on the port group conflicts with the load balancing setting of the switch.
  A. The physical switch ports used by the vmnics have not been configured with 802.1Q.

• Question 176:

  -- Exhibit -

  

  -- Exhibit -

  A vSphere administrator receives a report of an issue with a vApp. After connecting to the environment with the vSphere Client, the administrator does not see the vApp, but instead

  sees the inventory shown in the exhibit.

  What explains this behavior?

  A. The administrator is connected to the ESXi host running the vApp.
  B. The administrator is using the Web Client.
  C. The vApp is in a partially deleted state.
  D. The vApp has been converted to a resource pool.
  A. The administrator is connected to the ESXi host running the vApp.

• Question 177:

  The bandwidth between two sites is too slow to transfer large virtual machine files. The administrator needs to export a virtual machine to OVF to reduce the size of the transfer.

  When the administrator attempts to initiate the Export OVF Template feature, the selection is grayed out.

  What is the likely reason that the administrator is unable to select this option?

  A. The virtual machine is in a powered on state.
  B. There is not enough disk space on the destination for the OVF.
  C. The administrator's account does not have the correct privileges.
  D. The virtual machine is not compatible with the OVF format.
  A. The virtual machine is in a powered on state.

• Question 178:

  An administrator needs to configure a Linux virtual machine template to support guest customization. The administrator has installed VMware Tools. Which additional component is necessary to enable Linux guest OS customization?

  A. Perl
  B. bash
  C. Python
  D. Sysprep
  A. Perl

• Question 179:

  A vSphere administrator needs to configure the environment to send a notification to a monitored email address every time a vSphere alarm is triggered. Which procedure should the administrator use to accomplish the task?

  A. Use the vSphere web client to configure the vCenter Server SMTP settings. Edit the alarm action to send a notification email.
  B. Use the vSphere web client to configure the vCenter Server SNMP settings. Edit the alarm action to send a notification email.
  C. Use the vSphere web client to create a vCenter Server scheduled task that will send a notification email when an alarm is triggered.
  D. Use the vSphere web client to create a vCenter Orchestrator workflow that will send a notification email when an alarm is triggered.
  A. Use the vSphere web client to configure the vCenter Server SMTP settings. Edit the alarm action to send a notification email.

• Question 180:

  A. Hyperthreading is disabled in the host's BIOS.
  B. The physical CPUs in the host are not multi-core.
  C. The number of CPUs meets or exceeds the maximum without hyperthreading.
  A. Hyperthreading is disabled in the host's BIOS.
  B. The physical CPUs in the host are not multi-core.
