An administrator is creating a content library to manage VM templates and ISO images. The
administrator wants to password-protect the images and templates and share them with a remote
site.
Which two tasks must the administration perform when creating the content library? (Choose two.)
A. Publish the local content library.
B. Enable the security policy.
C. Create a subscribed content library.
D. Select an NFS datastore.
E. Enable authentication
Answer: AE
Explanation:
You enable authentication to password protect a content library. The security policy is to protect
and enforce strict validation while importing an synchronizing OVF library items.
An administrator is responsible for the management of a VMware vCenter instance that is currently
experiencing performance issues. The administrator quickly identifies that the CPU and memory
utilization of vCenter is consistently over 80%. Upon further analysis, it seems that the vpxd process
is contributing significantly to the performance issue.
A combination of which four steps should the administrator take to resolve the performance issues
and ensure that a similar issue can be rectified without requiring downtime to vCenter moving
forward? (Choose four.)
A. Gracefully shut down vCenter using the vSphere Client.
B. Enable CPU Hot Add on the vCenter virtual machine.
C. Power on the vCenter Server Appliance using the vSphere Host Client.
D. Enable CPU and Memory Hot Add on the vCenter virtual machine.
E. Add additional CPU and memory to the vCenter Server Appliance.
F. Power on the vCenter Server Appliance using the vSphere Client.
G. Enable Memory Not Add on the vCenter virtual machine
Answer: ACDE Explanation: You cannot enable hot add while a VM is running, so you must shut it down first. B is wrong, you enable CPU & memory hot add
An administrator successfully installs VMware ESXi onto the first host of a new vSphere cluster but
makes no additional configuration changes. When attempting to log into the vSphere Host Client
using the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the host, the administrator receives the following
error message:
“Server Not Found - We can’t connect to the server at esxi101.corp.local.”
The following information has been provided to complete the configuration: Host FQDN: esxi101.corp.local
Management VLAN ID: 10
DHCP: No
Management IP Address: 172.16.10.101 / 24
Management IP Gateway: 172.16.10.1
Corporate DNS Servers: 172.16.10.5, 172.16.10.6
ONS Domain: corp.local
In addition, all host configurations must also meet the following requirements:
- The management network must use only IPv4 network protocols.
- The management network must be fault tolerant.
Which three high level tasks should the administrator complete, at a minimum, in order to
successfully log into the vSphere Host Client using the FQDN for esxi101 and complete the
configuration? (Choose three.)
A. Ensure a DNS A Record is created for the VMware ESXi host on the corporate DNS servers.
B. Update the VMware ESXi Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS
servers for names resolution.
C. Update the VMware ESXi Management Network IPv4 configuration to use a static a IPv4 address.
D. Configure at least two network adapters for the VMware ESXi Management Network.
E. Set the value of the VMware ESXi Management Network VLAN ID to 10.
F. Disable IPv6 for the VMware ESXi Management Network
Answer: ACE
When configuring vCenter High Availability (HA), which two statements are true regarding the
active, passive, and witness nodes? (Choose two.
A. Network latency must be less than 10 milliseconds.
B. They must have a supported Wide Area Network (WAN).
C. They must have a minimum of a 10 Gbps network adapter.
D. They must have a minimum of a 1 Gbps network adapter.
E. Network latency must be more than 10 milliseconds.
Answer: AD
An administrator is deploying a new all flash vSAN cluster based on the vSAN Original Storage
Architecture (OSA).
What is the minimum supported network throughput in Gb/s for each host?
A. 50
B. 10
C. 25
D. 1
Answer: B
Explanation
vSAN Express Storage Architecture (ESA) are only supported with 25Gbps and higher connection
speeds. ESA ReadyNodes configured for vSAN ESA will be configured with 25/50/100Gbps NICs.
vSAN OSA all-flash configurations are only supported with a 10Gb or higher connections. One
reason for this is that the improved performance with an all-flash configuration may consume more
network bandwidth between the hosts to gain higher throughput
An administrator enables Secure Boot on an ESXi host. On booting the ESXi host, the following
error message appears
A. The kernel hos been tampered with.
B. The Trusted Platform Module chip has failed.
C. The administrator attempted to boot with a bootloader that is unsigned or has been tampered with.
D. A package (VIB or driver) has been tampered with.
Answer: A
To keep virtual machines (VMs) up and running at all times in a vSphere cluster, an administrator
would like VMs to be migrated automatically when the host hardware health status becomes
degraded.
Which cluster feature can be used to meet this requirement?
A. Predictive DRS
B. Proactive HA
C. vSphere HA Orchestrated Restart
D. vSphere Fault Tolerance
Answer: B
An administrator wants to allow a DevOps engineer the ability to delete Tanzu Kubernetes Grid
(TKG) cluster objects in a vSphere Namespace.
Which role would provide the minimum required permissions to perform this operation?.
A. Administrator
B. Can View
C. Owner
D. Can Edit
Answer: D
A group of new virtual machines have been deployed using thin-provisioned disks due to the limited
storage space available in an environment. The storage team has expressed concern about
extensive use of this type of provisioning.
An administrator is tasked with creating a custom alarm to notify the storage team when thin
provisioning reaches a certain capacity threshold.
Where must the administrator define this alarm?
A. Datastore
B. Data center
C. Datastore cluster
D. Virtual machine
Answer: A
What are three options an administrator can configure after creating a vSphere Namespace?
(Choose three.)
A. Backup schedule
B. Certificates
C. Storage policies
D. Update policies
E. Permissions
F. Resource and Object limits
Answer: CEF
A VMkernel port is labelled PROD01 and uses the default TCP/IP stack. Currently, this VMkernel
port is configured for supporting live virtual machine (VM) migrations.
Which configuration change should the administrator make to isolate live VM migration traffic from
other network traffic?
A. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.
B. Remove PROD01 and create a new VMkernel port with the TCP/IP stack set to provisioning.
C. Create a new VMkernel port and set the TCP/IP stack to provisioning.
D. Modify PROD01 by changing the TCP/IP stack to vSphere vMotion.
Answer: A
After adding a new vSphere ESXi host with identical hardware configuration to an existing vSphere
cluster, which task would an administrator complete prior to checking the compliance with an existing host profile?
A. Attach the host profile to the new host
B. Duplicate the host profile
C. Copy the host setting from the new host
D. Import the host profile
Answer: A
Explanation:
It is an identical host and a host profile already exists, so attach the existing host profile to the new
host.
An administrator is tasked with deploying a new on-premises software-defined data center (SDDC)
that will contain a total of eight VMware vCenter instances.
The following requirements must be met:
- All vCenter instances should be visible in a single vSphere Client session.
- All vCenter inventory should be searchable from a single vSphere Client session.
- Any administrator must be able to complete operations on any vCenter instance using a single
set of credentials.
What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?
A. Two Enhanced Linked Mode groups consisting of four vCenter instances each in a Single Sign-On
domain.
B. A single Hybrid Linked Mode group consisting of four vCenter instances each in a Single Sign-On
domain.
C. A single Enhanced Linked Mode group consisting of eight vCenter instances in one Single Sign-
On domain.
D. A single Hybrid Linked Mode group consisting of eight vCenter instances in one Single Sign-On
domain
Answer: C
Explanation:
Hybrid linked mode is to connect a hyperscaler based SDDC such as VMC on AWS and a single
SSO is required based on the requirements

C. Enable vSphere High Availability (HA) admission control and set the VM power stale to the suspend
to memory option
D. Enable Quick Boot and set the VM power state to the suspend to memory option
Answer: D
