|
What is ESXi? |
The hypervisor. It is the core of the vSphere product suite. |
|
|
What is the difference between type1 and 2 hypervisors? Which one is VMware?
|
Type 1 runs directly on the hardware. Type 2 requires a host operating system. VMware is type 1
|
|
|
What are the maximums for vSphere 6? |
|
|
|
What deployment options are offered for vCenter? |
Version 6.0 of vSphere still offers this Windows-based installation of vCenter Server but also offers a prebuilt vCenter Server Virtual Appliance that is based on SUSE Linux.
|
|
|
What is vRealize Orchestrator? |
It is a workflow automation engine that is part of the vSphere suite and is automatically installed with every instance of vCenter Server. Using vRealize Orchestrator, you can build automated workflows for a wide variety of tasks available within vCenter Server.
|
|
|
Define vSphere Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing |
The vSphere Virtual Symmetric Multi-Processing (vSMP or Virtual SMP) product allows you to construct VMs with multiple virtual processor cores and/ or sockets.
|
|
|
What is Storage I/O control? |
Storage I/ O Control (SIOC) allows you to assign relative priority to storage I/ O as well as assign storage I/ O limits to VMs.
|
|
|
What is Network I/O control? |
Network I/ O Control (NIOC), which provides you with more granular controls over how VMs use network bandwidth provided by the physical NICs.
|
|
|
Does vSphere HA use vMotion? |
The vSphere HA feature, unlike DRS, does not use the vMotion technology as a means of migrating servers to another host. vMotion applies only to planned migrations, where both the source and destination ESXi host are running and functioning properly.
|
|
|
vSphere HA does not automatically fail over VM's by default. If you want vSphere to do this, what is the feature called? |
VM Failure Monitoring, and it uses a combination of internal heartbeats and I/ O activity to attempt to detect if the guest OS inside a VM has stopped functioning.
|
|
|
With vSphere's Fault Tolerance, what is the technology used to accomplish this? |
Fast Checkpointing technology supports FT of VMs with one to four vCPUs. Everything that occurs on the primary (protected) VM also occurs simultaneously on the secondary (mirrored) VM, so that if the physical host for the primary VM fails, the secondary VM can immediately step in and take over without any loss of connectivity.

|
What does VADP stand for? |
vSphere Storage APIs for Data Protection (VADP) |
|
|
What does VDP stand for? |
VMware Data Protection |
|
|
What is VADP? |
VADP is a set of application programming interfaces (APIs) that back up vendors leverage in order to provide enhanced backup functionality of virtualized environments. On its own, though, VADP is just a set of interfaces, like a framework for making backups possible. You can’t actually back up VMs with VADP. You’ll need a VADP-enabled backup application. |
|
|
What is VDP? |
VMware also offers its own backup tool, VMware Data Protection (VDP). VDP leverages VADP and technology based on EMC Avamar to provide a full backup solution for smaller VMware vSphere environments. |
|
|
What makes vSphere Replication different from hardware based solutions? |
vSphere Replication operates on a per-VM basis, so it gives customers very granular control over which workloads will be replicated and which workloads won’t be replicated.
|
