Scenarios P5 Flashcards
An administrator is tasked with moving an application and guest operating system (OS) running on
top of a physical server to a software-defined data center (SDDC) in a remote secure location.
The following constraints apply:
- The remote secure location has no network connectivity to the outside world.
- The business owner is not concerned if all changes in the application make it to the SDDC in the
secure location.
- The application’s data is hosted in a database with a high number of transactions.
What could the administrator do to create an image of the guest OS and application that can be
moved to this remote data center?
A. Create a hot clone of the physical server using VMware vCenter Converter.
B. Create a cold clone of the physical server using VMware vCenter Converter.
C. Restore the guest OS from a backup.
D. Use storage replication to replicate the guest OS and application
B
An administrator is tasked with configuring an appropriate Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for
VMware vCenter based on the following criteria:
- The solution should support the creation of Enhanced Link Mode groups.
- All user accounts are stored within a single Active Directory domain and the solution must support
only this Active Directory domain as the identity source.
- All user account password and account lockout policies must be managed within the Active
Directory domain.
- The solution should support token-based authentication.
Which SSO solution should the administrator choose based on the criteria?
A. vCenter Identity Provider Federation with Active Directory Federation Services as the identity
provider
B. vCenter Single Sign-On with Active Directory over LDAP as the identity source
C. vCenter Single Sign-On with Active Directory (Windows Integrated Authentication) as the identity
source
D. vCenter Identity Provider Federation with Active Directory over LDAP as the identity provider
Answer: A
Explanation:
In vCenter Server Identity Provider Federation, vCenter Server uses the OpenID Connect (OIDC)
protocol to receive an identity token that authenticates the user with vCenter Server.
An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery options for protecting a database
server using VMware vSphere Replication.
The following requirements must be met:
- The virtual machine must remain online during the protection.
- The virtual machine’s snapshots must be used as part of the replication process.
Which step must the administrator complete to accomplish this task?
A. Configure the virtual machine storage policy.
B. Enable guest OS VSS quiescing for this virtual machine.
C. Perform a full initial synchronization of the source virtual machine to the target location.
D. Configure network traffic isolation for vSphere Replication.
C
An administrator must gracefully restart a virtual machine (VM) through the vSphere Client but the
option is greyed out. The administrator has full administrative access on VMware vCenter and all
the objects available in vCenter, but has no access to log onto the operating system.
Which action should the administrator take to meet the objective?
A. Upgrade the virtual hardware
B. Migrate the VM to another host
C. Install VMware Tools
D. Restart vCenter
C
An administrator is tasked with installing VMware vCenter. The vCenter Server Appliance must
support an environment of:
- 400 hosts
- 4000 virtual machines
Which two resources must be allocated, at a minimum, to meet the requirements? (Choose two.)
A. 16 vCPUs
B. 30 GB Memory
C. 4 vCPUs
D. 8 vCPUs
E. 20 GB Memory
Answer: BD
Explanation:
Medium environment (up to 400 hosts or 4,000 virtual machine) 8vCPU 28 GB Mem.
Which VMware offering will allow an administrator to manage the lifecycle of multiple vCenter
Server instances in a single software as a service (SaaS)-based solution to help drive operational
efficiency?
A. VMware vSphere with Tanzu
B. VMware Cloud Foundation
C. VMware vSphere+
D. VMware Aria Suite Lifecycle
Answer: C
Explanation:
VCF includes the management domain and multiple workload domains. While VCF does use LCM
to manage vCenter lifecycle, it is on-prem only (for now) and is not SaaS based. That only leave
vSphere+. See the video in this link about upgrading remote vCenters managed by vSphere
Which feature would allow for the non-disruptive migration of a virtual machine between two
clusters in a single VMware vCenter instance?
A. vSphere vMotion
B. Cross vCenter Migration
C. vSphere Storage vMotion
D. vSphere Fault Tolerance
Answer: A
Explanation:
vMotion is used to move the VM to a different cluster within the same vCenter. This only works if
both clusters share the same storage. If they don’t you also need to perform a Storage vMotion.
Cross vCenter Migration is only used to migrate to a different vCenter
Which four elements can a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image contain? (Choose four.)
A. ESXi base image
B. ESXi configuration
C. Vendor agents
D. Vendor add-ons
E. BIOS updates
F. Firmware and drivers add-on
G. Independent components
Answer: ADFG
If a distributed switch uses the “Route based on physical NIC load” load balancing algorithm, what
does the mean send or receive utilization of an uplink need to exceed for the flow of traffic to move
to the second uplink?
A. 75 percent of the capacity over a 30 second period
B. 60 percent of the capacity over a 30 second period
C. 60 percent of the capacity over a 40 second period
D. 75 percent of the capacity over a 40 second period
Answer: A
Explanation:
The distributed switch calculates uplinks for virtual machines by taking their port ID and the number
of uplinks in the NIC team. The distributed switch tests the uplinks every 30 seconds, and if their
load exceeds 75 percent of usage, the port ID of the virtual machine with the highest I/O is moved
to a different uplink
