What are the three types of IP Allocation Policy for vApps? (Choose 3)

A. Reserved
B.Fixed
C. DHCP
D. BOOTP
E.Transient

B,C,E
The three valid methods are Fixed, Transient, and DHCP. Each of these is referred to as an IP Allocation Policy. FIXED: manual configuration for the VMs in the vApp. DHCP: enables the network DHCP server to allocate addresses within the vApp. TRANSIENT: a dynamic configuration from vCenter; which is released when the VMs are powered off.

You create a Windows VM. After you set up the guest, you convert the VM to a template. You deploy two virtual machines from the template: VM-A,a nd VM-B. After you deploy the two VMs, you change several guest OS settings in VM-A. What impact will the guest OS changes in VM-A have on VM-B and on the original template?

A.Changes will be duplicated on VM-B, but not duplicated on the original template.
B.The guest OS changes on VM-A are completely independant of any settings in VM-B or on the original template.
C.The guest OS changes in VM-A are duplicated in both VM-B and the original template.
D.The guest OS settings are not duplicated in VM-B, but are duplicated in the original template.

B
Once a VM or template is cloned, there is no further dependancy to the original source or to other VMs. Any changes on the cloned VM are specific to that VM.

Which statement is true regarding traffic shaping on a vSphere Standard Switch?

A.Traffic shaping is supported on inbound and outbound traffic.
B.Traffic shaping is not supported on vSphere Standard Switches.
C.Traffic shaping is supported on outbound traffic only.
D.Traffic shaping is supported on inbound traffic only.

C
Recall that traffic shaping polices can define three parameters: average bandwidth, peak bandwidth, and burst size. These parameters are only supported on outbound traffic. KEEP IN MIND: both inbound AND outbound are supported on distributed switchs (vDS). These policies can be applied to individual port groups on a a standard switch. On a vDS these policies can be applied to both the distributed port, and the distributed port group.

What is the maximum number of vCPUs that you can have on a single Fault Tolerant (FT) VM?

A.32

B.4

C.1

D.2

B

Only one vCPU is supported on a single FT VM.

Which three file formats are valid virtual machine files? (Choose 3)

A .nvram

B .vmx

C .vswp

D .vmtx

E .bios

F .flat

A,B,C

.nvram - Virtual machine BIOS or EFI config .vswp - Virtual machine swap file .vmx - Virtual machine config file .vmtx is wrong because its not a VM file, but a template file.

Which two statement describe the ESXi shell (choose 2)?

A. You cannot determine whether the SSH and ESXi shell are enabled without logging in directly to the DCUI.

B. The ESXi shell can be enabled only in the DCUI

C. The ESXi shell should be used primarily for troubleshooting with the assistance of VMware support personnel.

D. The ESXi shell can be enabled in the DCUI or in the Security Profile of the vSphere Client

C,D

ESXi shell options can be enabled and disabled in the DCUI or in the Security Profile of the vSphere Client. It should only be used for rare cases, and in particular while troubleshooting with the assistance of VMware support personnel. VMware recommends that ESXi Shell and SSH be disabled when not in use for troubleshooting.

You are prepping an installation of VMware Update Manager. You want to use the integrated SQL Server Express database. What are the scalability limits of UPdate Manager when using SQL Express?

A.10 hosts and 50 virtual machines

B.20 hosts and 100 virtual machines

C. 5 hosts and 50 virtual machines

D.100 hosts and 1000 virtual machines

C

SQL Sever Express may be used not only with VUM, but also with vCenter. By leveraging Express, there is very little DBA knowledge needed by the ESXi Admin. In both cases you should leverage SQL Server Express only if your network is smaller then 5 hosts and 50 VMs. Otherwise, you'll need to coordinate with a DBA the build of either an Oracle or MSSQL

What is the correct order for updating your vSphere?

A.VUM - vCenter - Hosts - VMs

B.vCenter - VUM - Hosts - VMs

C.VMs - Hosts - VUM - vCenter

D.vCenter - VUM - VMs - Hosts

B

First component should be vCenter server. After vCenter Server, VUM. Next the ESXi hosts should be upgraded. Finally the VMs

Which config would prevent a successful vMotion?

A.Two hosts both run AMD Opteron Gen 2 processors

B.Two hosts are both part of the same HA cluster

C.Two hosts are placed in the same datacenter

D.Two hosts are placed in different datacenters.

D.

vMotion is not supported across datacenters.

Which technology requires a storage adapter? (hardware or software)?

A.VMFS

B.NFS

C.FIBRE CHANNEL

D.NAS

C

VMFS and NFS are filesystems used by ESXi, but they are not types of storage adapters. ESXi supports different types of storage adapters including SCSI, iSCSI, RAID, Fibre Channel, Fibre Channel over Ethernet. ESXi accesses the adapters directly through device drivers in the VMkernel.

What is a new vSphere 5.x product that offers shared storage as a distributed, clustered, virtual NAS?

You are browsing a folder in a datastore. Which two files would you possibly see present in a folder that was used to store a virtual machine template? (Choose 2)

A.-rdm.vmdk

B..vmtx

C. .bios

D..vswp

A,B

You will not see a .bios or .vswp file in the various files that make up a template. The -rdm.vmdk file will exists if there is a raw device map such that the VM is allocated or mapped to a LUN directly. A -rdm.vmdk indicates a Raw Device that is in virtual compatibility mode where a -rdmp.vmdk file indicates a Raw Device in physical compatibility mode.

You downloaded a virtual appliance from the VMware Marketplace and prepare to deploy the OVF template. After the VM is deployed from the OVF template, what type of format do the virtual disks of the new VM use?

A.VMDK

B.NVRAM

C.OVF

D.VMTX

A

The VMTX file format is the format for the configuration file of a virtual machine - not the disk. VMDK is an open standard leveraged by all vendors.

Which is NOT a recommended minimum requirement for running the Windows-based version of vCenter Server?

A.Two x 64 CPUs 2.0 GHz or higher

B.2 GB RAM

C. 4 GB disk storage

D.1 Gigabit network connection

E. x64 Operating System

B


Minimum recommendations for Windows-based vCenter server include: 2 x64 CPUs 2.0 GHz or higher 4 GB RAM 4 GB disk storage 1 Gig network connection x64 Operating System

What type of identifier is used in a Fibre Channel fabric to uniquely identify each node?

A.SCSI ID

B. IP Address

C. MAC address

D.WWN

D

A World Wide Name (WWN) is a 64-bit address expressed as hexidecimal that is physically assigned to a port in a FC device, such as an FC HBA or SAN. It is equivalent to the MAC address in the Ethernet Protocol, since it becomes a unique identifier in the network.

What is the maximum number of powered-on VMs per VMFS-5 datastore in vSphere 5.1?

A.10000

B.32

C.2048

D.512

C

This is pure memorization unfortunately. See the COnfiguration Maxiums document for vSphere 5.1.

Which two statement are true about template creation? (Choose 2)

A. You can convert a powered on VM to a template.

B.You can clone a VM to a template with it powered on or off.

C.You can update a template in its template form

D.You can use templates to create a standard configuration.

B,D

The key terms here are convert vs. clone. You can create a template by CONVERTING a powered off VM or by CLONING a VM that is powered on or off. You cannot update a template.

What are two characteristics of a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS)? (Choose 2)

A.Does not use VMkernel ports

B.Only manageable through individual ESXi hosts

C.Centrally managed using the vCenter Server

D.Guarantees consistency of networking across the host to which it is connected.

C,D

A vDS has several advantages over a vSS. vDS's can be centrally managed using vCenter Server and guarantees consistency of the networking of the hosts to which it is connected.

Suppose you are on a vDS and you want to see information about all the devices connected to the vDS, but only some of the devices are Cisco. What can you use?

A.CDP

B.NETFLOW

C.LLDP

D.CSPHERE SWITCH API'S

C

Both CDP and LLDP can provide information on connected devices. However, CDP (Cisco Discovery Protocol) is proprietary to Cisco). Therefore you would use LLDP.

Which statement accurately describes EVC?

A.EVC is a method to set a baseline for CPUIDs for all the hosts in a cluster as they will appear to the OS installed on the VM.

B.EVC is a method to hide differences in CPUs, so Intel and AMD hosts can be used in the same DRS cluster.

C.EVC is a method to automatically alter the CPUID mask in all VMs in a cluster so they will not see differences in the host.

D.Choosing the least common denominator of EVC modes in a cluster can provide the most CPU capabilities and feature sets for all the hosts.

A

EVC helps to ensure vMotion compatibility for the hosts in a cluster. EVC ensures that all hosts in a cluster present the same CPU feature set to virtual machines. While it will not allow you to mix AMD and Intell on the same cluster, it does allow you to mix various families and features of the same vendor within the cluster.

You clone an existing virtual machine to a template. What is the file extension for the configuration file of the new template?
A. .vtx

B. .vtemplate

C. .template

D. .vmx

E. .vmtx

E

What are two requirements for vMotion, but not for Storage vMotion? (Choose 2)

A.Hosts cannot be in the same cluster

B. VMs cannot have CPU affinity configured

C.Host CPUs must be the same vendor and family.

D.VMs cannot contain snapshots

B,C

Two reqs for vMotino that are not reqs of Storage vMotion are that the host CPUs must be the same vendor and family and that the VMs cannot have CPU affinity configured. The reason these requirements don't exist for Storage vMotion is that Storage vMotion involves only one host.

If you view your storage on the Storage link of the Configuration tab in your vCenter, what should you click to make sure you are viewing the latest info?

A.Reset

B.Update

C.Add Storage.

D.Refresh

D

Reset is not an option. Update is used in the Storage View tab, not the Configuration tab

Which two capabilities are available only after you have installed VMware tools on a VM? (Choose 2)

A.Balloon driver

B.VGA video

C.10 vNICs

D.Shutting down the VM gracefully without logging in

A,D

VGA video, and the ability to create 10 vNICs is inherent to Version 8 virtual hardware. The Balloon driver and graceful shut down requires VMware Tools.

You configure a resource pool and configure share values for the VMs in the pool as follows:
VM A has 1000 shares
VM B has 1000 shares
VM C has 2000 shares
VM D has 3000 shares
VM E has 500 shares
You set the value of CPU shares to Normal.

If all five VMs are running and VM E gets powered-off, what two changes occur (Choose two.)

A. The total share value remains the same.

B. The amount of resources per share remains the same.

C. The total share value is reduced.

D.The amount of resources per share decreases.

E. The amount of resources per share increases.

F. The total share value increases.

C,E

If all five VMs are running and VM E gets powered-off, the total share value is reduced. The total share value for a resource pools is the sum of all powered-on VMs in the resource pool. When a VM that has a share value configured is powered on or powered off, the total share value for the resource pool is increased or decreased accordingly. Also, the amount of resources per share will be increased. With the CPU shares option set to Normal, each share is assigned an equal allocation of resources. Because there are fewer shares after VM E is powered off, each share will be assigned more resources.

You need to identify all the possible alarms that may trigger on your entire vCenter with multiple datacenters. What should you do?

A.Select the highest cluster in your inventory, and then select the Configuration tab.

B.Select your datacenter in your inventory, the Alarms tab, and then the Definitions button

C.Select the root of your inventory, the Alarms tab, and then the Definitions button.

D.Select the root of your inventory, the Alarms tab, and then thE

C


Since your not looking for triggered alarms, but rather all possible alarms, you'd click on the definitions button and not the triggered button.

You support an ESXi server that uses a standard virtual switch. You determine that several virtual machine (VMs) on the switch are causing issues for other VMs due to the volume of outbound traffic generated.

How can you prevent the VMs that are generating too much traffic from causing problems for other VMs?

A.Configure traffic shaping policies for the VMs generating too much traffic

B.Configure traffic shaping policies for the virtual switch

C.Configure traffic shaping policies for the VMs that are being negatively affected

D.Configure traffic shaping policies for the VMs generating too much traffic after placing them in a port group.

D.

ESXi shapes outbound network traffic on standard switches and INBOUND AND OUTBOUND ON distributed Switches. On a standard switch, traffic shaping policies can only be applied to a port group, or the vSwitch itself.

You clone an existing virtual machine to a template. What is the file extention for the configuration file of the new template?

A. .vmtx

B..vtemplate

C..vmx

D. .vtx

E..template

A

The file extension for the configuration file of a template is .vmtx. When a VM is cloned to a template, the original VM configuration file, the .vmx file, is changed to a .vmtx.

You are logged into your vCenter with your vSphere Client. On the Networking link of the Configuration tab, you click Add Networking. What are you adding?

A.You are always adding a new virtual switch.

B.You are always adding a VMkernel port to an existing virtual switch.

C.You are choosing whether to add a VMkernel port or a VM port to an existing virtual switch or a new virtual switch.

D.You are always adding a VM port to an existing virtual switch

C

When you click Add Networking, you are adding either a VM port or a VMkernel port. You have the choice to add either of them to an existing switch or to a new virtual switch

What are two requirements for vMotion but not for Storage vMotion?

A.VMs cannot have CPU affinity configured.

B. Hosts cannot be in the same cluster

C.Host CPUs must be the same vendor and family.

D.VMs cannot contain snapshots.

A,C

The reason that there is not requirement in Storage vMotion for the host CPUs is that there is only one host involved. In Storage vMotion, the VMs stat is remaining on the same host, only its files are moving (to a different datastore).

If you review your storage on the Storage link of the configuration tab in your vCenter, what should you click to ensure that you view the latest information?

A.Refresh

B.Add Storage

C.Update

D.Reset

A

Update is used when you are on the Storage View tab . But if you are on the Storage link of the Configuration tab, you use Refresh to get the latest information.

You have a connection to a VMFS datastore from several hosts. You log on to Host1, right-click the datastore, and select rename. You type a new name for the datastore from Host1. What is the impact of the datastore connection on the other hosts after you rename Host1? (you may try this in the lab)

A.The new datastore name appears only on Host1.

B.The other hosts connected to the renamed datastore are automatically disconnected and must be manually reconnected before they can view the new name

C.The new datastore name appears on all hosts connected to the datastore only after they disconnect and then reconnect to the datastore.

D.The new datastore name appears on all hosts connected to the datastore.

D.

The new datastore name appears on all hosts connected to the datastore.

You are using Update Manager to update virtual appliances in a vSphere environment. The environment is using the vCenter Server Virtual Appliance. You plan to upgrade the vCenter Virtual Appliance to the latest version. Which statement is true regarding updating the vCenter Virtual Appliance by using Update Manager?

A.The vCenter Virtual Appliance must be configured for remediation first on the Appliance Administration page.

B.All hosts connected to the vCenter Virtual Appliance instance must have IPv6 addresses

C.Remediation of the vCenter Server Appliance with Update Manager is not supported.

D.The vCenter Virtual Appliance must be in maintenance mode

C

In order to upgrade the vCenter Virtual Appliance, you'd deploy a new version, and then import the configuration from the previous. There is no process for completing an in-place upgrade of a vCenter Server Appliance.

Which VMware product can provide 100% fault tolerance for vCenter Server?

A. HA

B.vMotion

C. FT

D. vCenter Heartbeat

D


vCenter Heartbeat can provide 100% fault tolerance for vCenter Server. vCenter Heartbeat is a product that can be obtained separate from a vSphere license that can provide 100% fault tolerance of vCenter Server. Using FT for vCenter is not supported since vCenter requires two CPU configuration and FT currently supports VMs with only a single CPU.

Which two statements are true for Array Thin Provisioning? (Note: we are not talking VM Thin Provisioning, but Array Thin Provisioning - this topic discussed by our guest speaker from EMC2) (Choose two)

A.You should always monitor the arrays so that you can add space when need

B.Array Thin Provisioning is specified when the VM is created and/or when a disk is added to the VM.

C.You can over allocate the storage by allowing a server to view more storage than has actually been set aside for it.

D.Array Thin Provisioning controls how much datastore capacity is actually delivered to each VM.

A,C


Array Thin Provisioning is done on the storage side before VMware vSphere is connected. it allows for just-in-time storage options by over allocating the storage and potentially over-promising what can actually be delivered. This adds a gret amount of flexibility, but requires significant vigilance and monitoring so that you can add space when needed. Thin provisioning allows you to report more virtual storage than there is real physical capacity.

You are creating a vDS for your vSphere environment. You have a mixture of hosts that include ESXi 4.1 and ESXi 5.0. Which version of vDS should you create?

A.Version 4.1

B.Version 5.0

C. Hybrid

D.Version 4.0

A

Hybrid is not a valid switch version. If you choose any other option other than 4.1 you risk incompatibility.

Which statement is true regarding cloning an existing VM?

A.You cannot assign a VM to a Resource pool if it is a clone.

B.You must always power down the VM first before cloning it

C.You can create a clone of VM with it powered on, but creating one with it powered off will typically be faster.

D.A clone is always an exact copy; no customization is permitted during cloning.

C

You don't need to power down a VM to clone it, but cloning a powered down VM is typically faster. Certainly you can customize a VM including adding it to a resource pool.

You deploy several virtual machines that use thin provisioned disks to a datastore. You are concerned that the datastore may become full and cause the virtual machines to fail. Where would you configure an alarm action?

A.The resource pool

B. The virtual machines

C.The datastore

D. The host

C

You should configure an alarm action at the datastore because it's the free space property of the datastore that you will need to monitor.

You are preparing to upgrade a vSphere environment to vSphere 5.x. You plan to use Update Manager as much as you can. Which two components can you upgrade by using Update Manager? (Choose two)

A. Guest Operating Systems

B. ESXi Hosts

C. Virtual Appliances

D.VMFS Datastores

E.vCenter Servers

B,C

You can upgrade ESXi hosts and Virtual Appliances by using Update Manager. Still, VMware recommends that you leverage the vendor best practice and instructions before leveraging update manager for upgrading a virtual appliance. VUM can also update the hardware package on VMs, and the VMware Tools deployed on each guest OS.

What are the two primary reasons for creating VMware clusters?

A.HA

B.VMOTION

C.DRS

D.HOST PROFILES

A,C


vSphere HA clusters enable a collection of ESXi hosts to work together so that, as a group, they provide higher levels of availability for virtual machines than each ESXi host can provide individually. When you plan on creation and usage of a new vSphere HA cluster, the options you select affect the way that cluster responds to failures of hosts or virtual machines. The two primary purposes for creating a VMware cluster is for HA and DRS. There are other benfits as well such as Enhanced vMotion Compatability (EVC) and Distributed Power Management (DPM), but these benefits are a subset of having created an HA or DRS cluster.

Your remote access to the vCenter Server through the vSphere Client has been interrupted and you cannot successfully reconnect via the vSphere Client. Neither can you login to the host directly with vSphere. You would like to restart the management agents on a host.

A.From your vSphere Client logged on directly to your host, enable and disable the hostd plug-in.

B.From your vSphere Client logged on to your vCenter, select Administration and then troubleshooting.

C.From services.msc, restart anything that starts with a V.

D.From your DCUI, press F2 to customize the system, login as root, and navigate to 'Restart Management Agents'

D

The premise here is that you cannot login to the host via vSphere. You should use the DCUI when you need to troubleshoot an issue with a host particularly the inability to access it with vSphere.

Which service is disabled by the ESXi Firewall in its default configuration?

A.HTTP

B.SSH

C.DNS

D.SNMP

A

HTTP is not allowed by the ESXi Firewall in its default configuration. While you may have chosen SSH, realize that the SSH service is not disabled at the firewall, but rather disabled from running at startup.

What setting can you adjust in a large or dynamic network to alleviate a problem of the ESXi host generating more commands to a LUN than it can handle and thereby affecting the performance of the VM?

A.Use a hardware initiator.

B.Increase LUN queue depth

C.Increase the speed of your HBA.

D.Change to Round-Robin.

B

SCSI device drivers have a configurable parameter called the LUN queue depth that determines how many commands to a given LUN can be active at one time. If the host generates more commands to a LUN, the excess commands are queued in the VMkernel. Increasing your LUN queue depth will alleviate this issue, but you should determine the proper settings from your vendor documentation. All other option will have no effect, or might even worsen the situation.

You want to send duplicate packets to a monitoring station to collect reliable and accurate IPS/IDS data. Which vDS feature should you use?

A. Port mirroring

B.Port monitoring

C.Netflow

D.User-defined network I/O control

A

On a vDS, you would leverage port mirroring to an IPS/IDS (intrusion prevention / intrusion detection) workstation. On a standard vSwitch (vSS), you would leverage promiscuous mode either at the switch or port group level.

You are configuring a vSphere Standard Switch (vSS). Which networking policy setting allows packets to be received by a virtual machine with different destination MAC address than the configured MAC address?

A. MAC Address Changes

B. Promiscuous Mode

C.Traffic Shaping

D.Forged Transmits

A

The MAC Address Changes policy can be set to accept or reject. When set to reject, if the VM's MAC address changes to something other than what is configured in it's .vmx file, then all inbound frames will be dropped. Forged Transmits apply to outbound traffic. Placing a guest adapter in Promiscuous Mode causes it to detect ALL frames passed on the switch that are allowed under the VLAN policy for the port group on which the adapter is connected.

You are planning the deployment of a vSphere Storage Virtual Appliance (VSA). What type of storage is presented on the network by the VSA?

A.Fibre Channel

B.VMFS

C. iSCSI

D.NFS

D

While it is true the VMware has discontinued the VSA product line, VSA for vSphere 5.5 is still supported until end-of-life 2018. You can expect at least 1 or 2 questions on your 5.1 and 5.5 certifications regarding VSA. NFS is presented on the network by the VSA. The vSphere VSA is used to aggregate unused local storage on ESXi hosts and present that storage as shared storage on the network.

Which two statements are true for Admission Control settings in HA? (Choose two)

A.The default setting for Host Isolation Response in a vSphere 5.0 HA cluster is Leave Powered On.

B.The Admission Control Policy of Percentage of Cluster Resources Reserved as Failover Space Capacity calculates a slot size to estimate the size of each VM.

C.It is best practice to leave Admission Control disabled until you need it.

D.Your Admission Control Policy settings in HA can affect the number of VMs and the size of the VMs that you can run on your cluster.

A,D

When you power on a virtual machine that resides in an HA cluster, the system checks the amount of CPU and memory resources that have not yet been reserved. Based on available unreserved resources, the system determines whether it can guarantee the reservation for which the virtual machine is configured (if any). This process is called admission control. If enough unreserved CPU and memory are available, or if there is no reservation, the virtual machine is powered on. Otherwise, an insufficient Resources warning appears. In an HA cluster the admission control policy helps the admin from over allocating resources that would prevent successful recovery from a host failure. Obviously, the Admission Control Policy setting can affect the number of VMs and the size of the VMs that run in the cluster. The policy of Percentage of Cluster Resources Reserved as Failover Space Capacity leverages a percentage calculation. The Host Failures the Cluster Tolerates policy uses a slot size as the estimated size of each VM

Which memory conservation technique allows the secure elimination of redundant copies of memory pages between virtual machines on the host?

A. VMkernal swap

B.memory Balloon Drivers

C.Ram Overcommit

D.Transparent page sharing

D

If you use an ESXi host installed with hyperthreading enabled in the BIOS, how should you allow hyperthreading for the host?

A.Go to the configuration tab of the host and select Processor; then change the properties of the processor to enable hyperthreading. Finally, restart the host.

B. ESXi does not support hyperthreading on hosts.

C.Go to the configuration tab of the host and select processor; then change the properties of the processor to enable hyperthreading.

D.When set in the BIOS, Hyperthreading will be enabled by default

D

If hyperthreading were enabled in the BIOS during the installation of the host, it will be enabled on the host. You do not need to make any configuration changes or perform any restart on an ESXi host in order for the host to leverage hyperthreading.

You add a host into a cluster that has one or more resource pools defined. During the process, you did not choose the option to graft in the resource pools. What happens to the resource pools from the host?

A.They will be deleted

B.They will be merged with the cluster Resource Pool.

C.They will be added to the cluster in a separate category.

D.They will be re-created in another cluster

A


A resource pool is a logical abstraction for flexible management of resources. Resource pools can be grouped into hierarchies and used to hierarchically partition available CPU and memory resources. If you do not graft in the Resource Pools on your host when you add the host to a cluster, the Resource Pools will be deleted. If you want to maintain them, you must graft them in by simply making that selection when asked.

What are the 3 different types of port binding

Static Binding:
- When you connect a VM to a dvPort group a port is reserved and is immediately assigned.
- This port is freed up only when the VM is removed from the dvPort group.

Dynamic Binding:
- dvPort is assigned to a VM only when the VM is powered on and the NIC is connected.
- The dvPort is freed up when the VM is powered off or the NIC is disconnected.

Ephemeral binding:
- dvPort is created and assigned to the VM when the VM is powered on and NIC is connected.
- dvPort is deleted when the VM is powered off of VM NIC is disconnected.
