An administrator uses the df -h command and notices that an NFS datastore is reporting a capacity of 0 Bytes.
What condition would cause this to occur?
A. The NFS server on which the datastore resides is down.
B. The datastore was mounted as Read/Write.
C. The datastore was mounted as Read-Only.
D. The datastore was created with NFS version 4.1.
The command esxcli network vm list displays four virtual machines connected to the Production vSwitch. Within the vSphere Web Client, five virtual machines are seen.
What explains this behavior?
A. The fifth virtual machine is currently powered off.
B. The fifth virtual machine has two vnics.
C. The fifth virtual machine has an invalid IP address.
D. The fifth virtual machine has an invalid MAC address.
An administrator is experiencing network connectivity issues between virtual machines. The virtual machines and hosts are configured as follows:
1.
VM1 is running on Host1
2.
VM2 is running on Host2
3.
Both Host1 and Host2 are attached to the vSphere Distributed Switch dvSwitch1
4.
Both Host1 and Host2 are using vmnic0 and vmnic1 on dvSwitch1
5.
Both virtual machines are using the default portgroup for network traffic
What are three settings the administrator should investigate while troubleshooting the connectivity issue? (Choose three.)
A. VLANs of the physical NICs
B. Failover order of the uplinks
C. Virtual NIC connectivity to the dvSwitch
D. Security policy of the portgroup
E. Traffic shaping on the portgroup
Refer to the Exhibit.
An administrator is troubleshooting intermittent poor performance of virtual machines in a vSphere 6.x cluster. Investigating esxtop data shows that the only statistic that stands out is %CSTP as depicted in Exhibit 1:
The administrator proceeds to switch to the Power Management screen and observes the data depicted in Exhibit 2:
Based on the information in the exhibits, which two configurations are probable causes of the poor performance? (Choose two.)
A. The active power policy is set to Low Power.
B. The host has active Sleep States configured in the BIOS.
C. The active power policy is set to High Performance.
D. The host has active Power States configured in the BIOS.
An administrator is implementing a vSphere 6.x environment containing one vCenter and five ESXi hosts. The administrator has just finished deploying the vCenter Server appliance with an embedded Platform Services Controller (PSC) and needs to ensure that default security certificates within the vSphere 6.x environment are replaced with new certificates.
What should the administrator do to complete this task the least administrative effort?
A. Replace the VMCA root certificate before adding the ESXi hosts to vCenter Server.
B. Create ESXi host security certificates using the SSL. Thumbprint mode to ensure consistency among all hosts.
C. Add the ESXi hosts to vCenter Server before updating the VMCA root certificate on the PSC.
D. Make VMCA an Intermediate Certificate Authority to ensure each added ESXi hosts receives the same certificate.
An administrator is changing the settings on a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS). During this process, the ESXi Management IP address is set to an address which can no longer communicate with the vCenter Server.
What is the most likely outcome of this action?
A. The host will disconnect from the vCenter Server and remain disconnected.
B. The host will automatically detect the communication issue and revert the change.
C. The host will stay connected with the change, but show an alert.
D. The host will disconnect and migrate the vDS portgroup to a standard switch.
Which two features are deprecated in Network I/O Control 3 (NIOC3)? (Choose two.)
A. Class Of Service (COS) Tagging
B. Bandwidth Allocation
C. User-defined network resource pools
D. Admission control
An administrator is upgrading an ESXi host from 5.5 to 6.0 and runs the following command:
esxcli software vib list --rebooting-image
What does this command show?
A. VIBs active after a reboot.
B. VIBs that require a reboot.
C. VIBs that are in the boot image.
D. VIBs that are third-party.
What are three recommended prerequisites before upgrading virtual machine hardware? (Choose three.)
A. Create a backup or snapshot of the virtual machine.
B. Upgrade VMware Tools to the latest version.
C. Verify that the virtual machine is stored on VMFS3, VMFS5, or NFS datastores.
D. Detach all CD-ROM/ISO images from the virtual machines.
E. Set the Advanced Parameter virtualHW.version = 11
Which condition would cause a vCenter Server installation to fail when installing on a Windows virtual
machine?
A. The virtual machine does not have at least four vCPUs.
B. The virtual machine is running Windows Server 2008.
C. The virtual machine has an E1000 network device.
D. The virtual machine does not have 16GB of RAM.
