Which workflow should the administrator follow to create a High Availability (HA) cluster?

A vSphere administrator attempts to move a powered on virtual machine into a resource

pool that is configured in an HA/DRS cluster. The operation fails.

What condition would cause this behavior?

An administrator removes a virtual machine from a resource pool and places it in the DRS

root resource pool. Users report the performance of the application running on the virtual

machine has improved. The virtual machine relocation was the only change that occurred.

What explains the change in application performance?

An application team is implementing a new solution in the virtualized environment. The

application vendor states the application is memory intensive. The application is very

unstable when operating without adequate on-demand access to physical memory. The

application's virtual machines are assigned to the Mission Critical resource pool.

Which resource pool setting will help ensure the application has adequate acoess to

memory?

What will cause the validation of a vMotion migration to fail?

A VSphere administrator is attempting to migrate a virtual machine, but the progressbar for
the migration remains at 10%.
Which issue could be preventing the vMotion migration?

All administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine from one datastore to another, but the

virtual machine has a snapshot The virtual machine is running on an ESXi 5.x host.

Which action must the VSphere administrator take to ensure that the snapshot data

remains intact?

How is changed block tracking (CBT) used in a vSphere implementation?

Which vSphere feature creates a copy of a virtual machine that can be stored locally within
a duster or at another site, and provides the ability to rapidly restore a virtual machine
within minutes?

An administrator is attempting to use Update Manager to patch a custer 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?

The administrator has deployed a third-party virtual appliance in the organization's vSphere
environment and needs to use Update Manager to maintain the third-party appliance.
How should the administrator accomplish this tast with the least administrative effort?

For securtty reasons, SSH and the ESXi Shell have been disabled on a standalone ESXi
5.x hosl A vSphere administrator accesses the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) to
examine log files related to a recent connection issue.
Which system log can the administrator access to determine the cause of the issue?

An administrator needs to export system Iogs for an ESXi 5.5 host to determine the root
cause for a host performance issue. This host supports manifest-driven exports of system
Iogs.
Which manifest is selected by default during the export system log wizard?

An ESXi 5.x host disconnects within 60 seconds after the administrator adds it to the

VCenter Server inventory. The administrator determines that the issue could be related to a

networking problem. Which networking port should the administrator check for connectivity

from the host to vCenter Server?

An administrator adds an ESXI 5.x host to the inventory of a vCenter Server that is
configured with a vSphere Distributed Switch. The VSphere Web Client indicates that the
host is not responding. The administrator determines from the command line that the vpxa
agent is stopped.
What should the administrator do to resolve this issue without affecting the uptime of the
virtual machines running on the host?

An ESXi host networking is configured as shown. The virtual machine named Fileserver01 is unable to ping anything on an extemal network
Which condition would explain this behavior

A security audit has revealed that a virtual machine on vSwitch1 is receiving all traffic sent
to the virtual switch, violating corporate policy. The vSphere administrator examines the
properties for vSwitch1 , as shown in the exhibit:

Which configuration explains why the virtual machine is receiving all traffic sent to
vSwitch1?

An administrator receives notice of a large number of ARP table issues. The issues began
after a maintenance window 36 hours ago. The issue did not exist prior to the maintenance
window.
Which change was made to the port group that is causing the ARP table issue?

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 setings shown:
Which action should the administrator take to resolve these errors?

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?

An administrator is using esxtop to troubleshoot a storage performance issue.

Which parameter should the administrator check to monitor any storage-related VSphere

overhead?

An error occurs while building a new virtual rnachine 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 frorm being built?

A vSphere administrator configures a preferred heartbeat datastore in an HA/DRS Custer
configuration. The vCenter Server identifies an alternative preferred datastore.
Why would vCenter Server identify an alternative preferred datastore over the
administrator's preference?

The Ioad is high on a HA/DRS cluster. DPM is enabled. A vSphere administrator
determines that hosts are NOT powering on automatically to support the Ioad.
Which oonfiguration would result in this condition?

The Ioad on a Fulty Automated HA/DRS cluster is critically unbalanced.

What condition could cause this issue?

A vSphere administrator determines that more metrics are available for viewing in the
real time 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 VMware admlnistrator determines that the active memory on an ESXi 5.x host is 20%

and the consumed memory is 90%.

How much Host memory is available to virtual machines?

The vSphere administrator needs to check the system health of an ESXi 5.x host using the

vSphere Web Client. Which option in the Monitor tab should the administrator use for the

selected host?

A vSphere administrator needs to configure the envirorunent 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?

Which default alarm definition will send a notification trap if the redundant storage path is

lost?

The vCentecr 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:
