A. Clone to Template
B. Add Permission
C. Rename
D. Convert to Virtual Machine
A, B, C and D. All of these options are listed in the context menus when right-clicking a template using the vSphere Web Client.

C and D. Neither a cluster nor a resource pool is a valid content type in vCloud Connector.
- You work in a 100 percent Windows virtual machine environment. You need to deploy four Linux VMs for a project. Which deployment methodology would be the least amount of work?
A. Create four virtual machines one at a time.
B. Create one virtual machine and clone it three times.
C. Create on virtual machine and then convert it to a template. Deploy the remaining VMs from this template.
D. Create a vApp.
B. Creating the VM and cloning it would be the least amount of work. Cloning can be used to avoid repetition of tasks.
- You want to add several items listed in the vSphere Security Hardening Guide to a virtual machine configuration file. How will you most easily accomplish this task?
A. Power off the virtual machine and add the options to the VM using the Configuration Parameters > Edit Configuration button in the virtual machine settings.
B. Add the options to the VM using the Security Parameters button in the virtual machine settings.
C. Power off the virtual machine and clone it. Specify these options as part of the cloning process.
D. Clone the virtual machine and specify these options as a part of the cloning process.
A. Advanced parameters are added in a virtual machine’s settings by clicking the VM Optionos toolbar item, and then navigating to Advanced> Configuration Parameters >Edit Configuration. These options can be configured only when the virtual machine is powered off.
- A particular application is having a problem with installation. Which of the following options can be used to slow down a virtual machine in hopes of allowing the install to complete?
A. Disable Acceleration
B. Limit
C. Shares
D. Reservation
A. The Disable Acceleration option is used to slow down a virtual machine if there is a problem running or installing software in the virtual machine.
- Which of the following vSphere features are available with USB passthrough? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Distributed Power Management (DPM)
B. Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
C. Fault Tolerance (FT
D. vMotion
B and D. The Distributed Resource Scheduler and vMotion are both supported features that can be used with USB passthrough.
- vApps are built on which industry-standard format?
A. OVA
B. OVF
C. OVT
D. OVX
B. vApps are built on an industry-standard format known as the Open Virtualization Format (OVF).
- Which of the following options can be modified in the virtual machine settings while the virtual machine is powered on?
A. Guest Operating System
B. Force BIOS Setup
C. CPUID Mask
D. Power Management
B. The option to force the virtual machine to enter the BIOS/EFI setup is one of the few options that may be configured while the virtual machine is powered on.
- Which of the following is the correct sequence for updating existing virtual machine templates?
A. Using the Web Client, convert the template to a virtual machine, power on the virtual machine, make changes to the virtual machine as required, power off the virtual machine, and convert the virtual machine to a template.
B. Using the Web Client, power on the virtual machine template, make changes to the virtual machine as required, and power off the virtual machine template.
C. Using the Web Client, rename the virtual machine template using the File Browser, power on the virtual machine, make changes to the virtual machine as required, power off the virtual machine template, and rename the virtual machine using the File Browser.
D. Using the Web Client, convert the template to a virtual machine using VMware Converter, power on the virtual machine, make changes to the virtual machine as required, power off the virtual machine, and convert the virtual machine to a template.
A. Templates cannot be powered on; they must first be converted to virtual machines to be powered on. After converting a template to a VM, the VM can be updated as required, powered off, and then converted to a template again.
- Which of the following are valid configuration options for a new serial port added to a virtual machine? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Use output file
B. Use physical serial port
C. Use named pipe
D. Use network
A, B, C and D. Use output file, use physical serial port, use named pipe, and use network are the four available options for a new serial port configuration.
- Which of the following items need to be secured in order to properly secure virtual machines? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Virtual machine configuration files
B. vMotion network(s)
C. vCenter Server permissions
D. ESXi hosts
A, B, C and D. Virtual machine security consists of securing the virtual machine, the ESXi host(s) it runs on, the storage and Ethernet networks it uses, the vCenter Server used to manage it, the backup server used to protect it, and likely more. Each environment will be different, but securing virtual machines encompasses a lot of different parts of the infrastructure.
- Which of the following resources can be adjusted in the Edit Resource Settings window for a virtual machine? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Shares
B. Limits
C. Reservations
D. Allocations
A, B and C. Shares, limits, and reservations can all be specified in the Edit Resource Settings window for a virtual machine.
- What is the file extension for a virtual machine configuration file when the virtual machine has been converted to a template?
A. .vmx
B. .vmxf
C. .vmtx
D. .vmsd
C. When a virtual machine is converted to a template, its configuration file will have the .vmtx extension.
- A virtual machine owner is reporting that she is out of disk space on a virtual machine with a single disk running Windows Server 2008 R2. The guest OS has one volume only. What steps do you take to most quickly solve this problem?
A. Add another virtual disk to the virtual machine and instruct the virtual machine owner to move some of her data to it.
B. Hot-extend the virtual disk in the Web Client and then extend the volume in Windows using the Disk Manager.
C. Instruct the user to schedule downtime and power down the virtual machine’s guest OS. Hot-extend the disk.
D. Clone the virtual machine and resize the disk.
B. Windows Server 2008 R2 supports extending OS volumes, and vSphere supports hot-extending disks. Neither of these procedures requires downtime to accomplish.
- You are trying to use the setup option for the BIOS of a virtual machine; however, the virtual machine starts up too fast for you to access the setup option. In the vSphere Web Client, which virtual machine boot options can be used to solve this problem? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Specify a different boot firmware.
B. Specify a Boot Delay value.
C. Select the Force BIOS Setup option.
D. Set a Failed Boot Recovery value.
B and C. Setting a power-on delay will provide additional time to access the BIOS setup; even better is the Force BIOS Setup option, which will ensure that the virtual machine boots into the BIOS setup.
