Question 1

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?

AVMware vSphere with Tanzu

BVMware Cloud Foundation

CVMware vSphere+

DVMware Aria Suite Lifecycle

Answer : C

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+. https://www.vmware.com/products/vsphere/vsphere-plus.html

Question 2

An administrator needs to provide encryption for workloads within an existing vSphere cluster. The following requirements must be met:

* Workloads should be encrypted at rest.

* Encrypted workloads must automatically be encrypted during transit.

* Encryption should not require any specific hardware.

What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?

AEncrypted vSphere vMotion

BUnified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) Secure Boot

CHost Encryption

DVM Encryption

Answer : D

The feature that should be configured to provide encryption for workloads within an existing vSphere cluster without requiring any specific hardware is VM Encryption, which allows encrypting VMs at rest and during vMotion.

Question 3

A vSphere cluster has the following configuration:

* Virtual machines (VMs) are running Production and Test workloads

* vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled

* There are no resource pools in the cluster

Performance monitoring data shows that the Production workload VMs are not receiving their fully allocated memory when the vSphere cluster is fully utilized.

A combination of which two steps could the administrator perform to ensure that the Production VMs are always guaranteed the full allocation of memory? (Choose two.)

AAssign a custom memory share value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

BAssign a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

CCreate a parent resource pool for the Production VMs.

DCreate a sibling resource pool for each of the Production and Test VMs.

ECreate a child resource pool for the Test VMs.

Answer : B, D

Question 4

An administrator receives reports from the application team of poor performance of a virtual ma-chine (VM). The administrator reviews the virtual machine and discovers that it has 20 snapshots that are over 12 months old.

What could the administrator do to improve the VM's performance?

AInflate the base disk to make space for future snapshots.

BRevert to the latest snapshot.

CConsolidate all of the snapshots into the base VM.

DIdentify and delete the largest delta .vmdk file.

Answer : C

Question 5

An administrator is responsible for performing maintenance tasks on a vSphere cluster. The cluster has the following configuration:

. Identically configured vSphere ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04)

* All workloads are deployed into a single VMFS datastore provided by the external storage array

* vSphere High Availability (HA) has not been enabled

* vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) has not been enabled

Currently, a critical production application workload (VM1) is running on esx01.

Given this scenario, which two actions are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

AFully automated DRS must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

BVM1 must be manually shut down and cold migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

CvSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

DVM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

EVM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

Answer : A, D

Two actions that are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode are enabling fully automated DRS on the cluster, which allows balancing the workload across hosts and migrating VMs without user intervention; and manually live migrating VM1 to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion, which allows moving a running VM without downtime.

Question 6

A vSphere environment is experiencing intermittent short bursts of CPU contention, causing brief production outages for some of the virtual machines (VMs). To understand the cause of the issue, the administrator wants to observe near real-time statistics for all VMs.

Which two vSphere reporting tools could the administrator use? (Choose two.)

AAdvanced Performance Charts

Besxcli

Cresxtop

DOverview Performance Charts

Eesxtop

Answer : A, E

Advanced Performance Charts and esxtop are both vSphere reporting tools that can be used to observe near real-time statistics for all VMs. Advanced Performance Charts provides a graphical view of performance data, while esxtop is a command-line tool that provides more detailed information.

Question 7

An administrator is tasked with configuring remote direct memory access (RDMA) over Converged Ethernet v2 (RoCE v2).

Which two types of adapters must the administrator configure? (Choose two.)

AParavirtual RDMA adapter

BRDMA network adapter

CSoftware iSCSi adapter

DFibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) adapter

ESoftware NVMe over RDMA storage adapter

Answer : B, D

ESXi 7 and later supports RoCE v2 technology, which enables RDMA over an Ethernet network. Hosts use an RDMA network adapter installed on the host and a software NVMe over RDMA storage adapter.
