Ch 9 Flashcards
- You have a virtual machine stored on a datastore on an ESXi host’s local disks. The host that this VM is running on needs maintenance, and your vCenter Server is licensed for vSphere Standard. Which of the following methods can be used to migrate this virtual machine with no downtime?
A. Cold migration
B. vMotion
C. VMware Converter
D. None of these
B. vMotion is able to change both host and datastore even with nonshared storage (using the Web Client only). Cold migration and Vmware Converter would both require powering off the virtual machine.
- Which of the following are supported for use with snapshots?
A. A powered-on virtual machine that is protected with VMware FT
B. A powered-on virtual machine that has an independent disk
C. A powered-on virtual machine with an RDM in physical compatibility mode
D. A powered-on virtual machine with an RDM in virtual compatibility mode
D. Of the choices presented, only snapshots with RDMs in virtual compatibility mode are supported.
- VMware Data Protection does not support which of the following disk types? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Independent
B. RDM Independent - Virtual Compatibility Mode
C. RDM Physical Compatibility Mode
D. Eagerzeroedthick VMDK
A, B and C. Vmware Data Protection does not support independent disks, RDM independent disks (in virtual compatibility mode) or RDMs in physical compatibility mode.
A virtual infrastructure administrator plans to manually update the virtual machine hardware and VMware Tools in a maintenance window for a virtual machine with a Windows Server 2008 R2. How many times will the guest OS need to be restarted in this process?
A. Three: one for the virtual machine hardware update and two for the VMware Tools update
B. Three: two for the virtual machine hardware update and one for the VMware Tools
C. Two: one for the virtual hardware and one for the VMware Tools
D. It depends: As few as one or as many as three
D. Upgrading Vmware Tools may or may not require a reboot depending on the version of the Vmware Tools and the components being upgraded in Vmware Tools. A restart will be required when the virtual machine hardware is upgraded, since this requires the virtual machine to be powered off. After the VM is powered up, Windows may find new devices, again depending on which components were updated, and require another reboot. The correct answer is a minimum of one restart and a maximum of three restarts.
- Which of the following are available vMotion priority options? (Choose two.)
A. Reserve CPU For Optimal vMotion Performance
B. Limit CPU For Optimal vMotion Performance
C. Perform With Available CPU Resources
D. Perform With Optimal vMotion Performance
A and C. There are two options for the vMotion priority level: Reserve CPU For Optimal vMotion Performance and Perform With Available CPU Resources.
- A cluster has the virtual machine swap file option configured to store the swap file in the datastore specified by the host. The ESXi hosts in the cluster are configured to place the swap file on a datastore named NFS-SWAP. A newly created virtual machine located in this cluster has its virtual machine swap file option configured to always store with the virtual machine. The newly created virtual machine is located on NFS-VOL1. Where will this virtual machine’s swap file be located when the virtual machine is powered on?
A. The NFS-SWAP datastore
B. The NFS-VOL1 datastore
C. Both NFS-SWAP and NFS-VOL1
D. None of these
B. The swap file location specified on a virtual machine will override swap file settings defined at either the ESXi host or cluster level.
- Which of the following are downloaded sources that can be used with vSphere Update Manager? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Direct Connection To Internet
B. Use a Shared Repository
C. Proxy Settings
D. Import Patches
A, B and D. vSphere Update Manager can be configured with a direct connection to the Internet to use a shared repository or to import patches.
- You want to update the VMware Tools and virtual machine hardware in one scheduled task. Which of the following will allow this?
A. Create one scheduled task in vCenter and provide it the two update steps.
B. Create a baseline to update the virtual machine hardware version, and VMware Tools will be automatically updated.
C. Create a baseline group that contains both of the predefined update baselines. Schedule the remediation using the baseline group.
D. This is not possible.
C. Creating a baseline group allows Vmware Tools and virtual machine hardware to be updated in a single vSphere Update Manager remediation operation that can be scheduled.
- Which versions of vCenter Server is Update Manager 5.5 compatible with?
A. vCenter Server 4.1 U3
B. vCenter Server 5.0 U3
C. vCenter Server 5.1 U2
D. vCenter Server 5.5
D. Update Manager 5.5 is only compatibel with vCenter Server 5.5.
- Which versions of vCenter Server is vSphere Data Protection 5.5 compatible with?
A. vCenter Server 4.1
B. vCenter Server 5.0
C. vCenter Server 5.1
D. vCenter Server 5.5
C and D. vSphere Data Protection supports up to 10 appliances for up to 100 VMs each. vSphere Data Protection is compatible with vCenter Server version 5.1 and 5.5.
- You need to move a virtual machine with an active snapshot to a different datastore. You intend to use Storage vMotion to accomplish this task, and all of the hosts are ESXi 5.5. Which of the following statements is accurate for this plan?
A. This plan will work.
B. This plan will work, but proceed with caution.
C. This plan will work but is unsupported.
D. This plan will not work.
A. Storage vMotion can be used to migrate a virtual machien that has snapshots, as long as the VM is located on an ESXi 5 or newer host.
- Which of the following are required to apply a host profile to an ESXi host? (Choose all that apply.)
A. Enterprise Licensing
B. Enterprise Plus Licensing
C. ESX/ESXi host in maintenance mode
D. vSphere Update Manager
B and C. Enterprise Plus licensing is required to use host profiles, and ESX/ESXi hosts must be placed in maintenance mode to have a host profile applied.
- A virtual infrastructure administrator has taken a single snapshot of virtual machine. The snapshot requestor has asked that the virtual machine be reverted and he no longer needs the virtual machine to be in snapshot mode. Which set of actions should the virtual infrastructure administrator now take?
A. Revert to the current snapshot. Delete the snapshot clicking the Delete All button in Snapshot Manager.
B. Revert to the current snapshot.
C. Delete the snapshot by clicking the Delete button in Snapshot Manager.
D. None of these.
A. Reverting the virtual machine to the current snapshot will restore it to its previous state. The snapshot will still exist, so deleting it in Snapshot Manager by clicking either the Delete or Delete All button will remove the snapshot.
- Which of the following are not supported for use with the VMware Data Protection File Level Restore Client? (Choose all that apply.)
A. EXT4 file systems
B. FAT 16 and FAT 32 file systems
C. Encrypted partitions
D. Deduplicated NTFS file systems
A, B, C and D. None of these are supported for use with the Vmware Data Protection Recovery Restore Client.
- What is the proper sequence in which vSphere Update Manager processes updates?
A. Scan object, create baseline, attach baseline, remediate object
B. Create baseline, scan object, attach baseline, remediate object
C. Create baseline, attach baseline, scan object, remediate object
D. Remediate object, scan object, create baseline, attach baseline
C. The proper sequence is create baseline, attach baseline, scan object, and remediate object.
