Question 1

A combination of which two components of the software-defined data center (SDDC) are responsible for the initial abstraction of CPU, memory, disk, and network resources and their subsequent management? (Choose two.)

AVMwere ESXi

BVMware vCenter Cloud Gateway

CVMware Ana Suite Lifecycle

DVMware vCenter

EVMware Ana Operations

Answer : A, D

VMware ESXi and VMware vCenter are the two components of the software-defined data center (SDDC) that are responsible for the initial abstraction of CPU, memory, disk, and network resources and their subsequent management1.VMware ESXi is the virtualization platform where you create and run virtual machines and virtual appliances2.VMware vCenter is the service through which you manage multiple hosts connected in a network and pool host resources2.These two components are part of the SDDC architecture that enables a fully automated, zero-downtime infrastructure for any application, and any hardware, now and in the future3.

Question 2

Refer to Exhibit:

An environment has the following configuration:

* Resource Pool ''RP-MOM? has a reservation of 6GHz and one running virtual machine (VM) "VM-M1? with 1 GHz reserved

* Resource Pool ^RP-KID? has a reservation of 2GHz, and expandable reservations is activated

The administrator creates two VMs, ''VM-K1? and 'VM-K2?, in the ''RP-KID? resource pool with 2GHz reserved for each, and turns on ''VM-M1 ?

Given this scenario, which statement is true?

AThe administrator must deactivate expandable reservations to turn on VM-K2

BThe administrator can create a third VM ( VM-K3?) at RP-KID and reserve 6GHz

CVM-K2 can be powered on because it can get the resources needed from RP-MOM.

DVM-K2 cannot be powered on because there are not enough resources in RP-KID.

BCheck that the ESXi hosts are compliant with the recommended baseline and update the hosts

CUpgrade VMware vCenter from version 7 to 8.

DCheck the hardware compatibility of the hosts in a cluster against the VMware Compatibility Guide (VCG) using baselines.

EManage the firmware lifecycle of ESXi hosts are part of a managed cluster using baselines

Question 5

An administrator needs to update a VMware vCenter instance to a newer minor release version. Due to restrictions within the environment, the vCenter instance does not have access to the Internet As a first step, the administrator downloads the required update on another machine.

What are the next steps the administrator must perform to complete the update?

A Place the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.

' Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for the update.

APlace the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.
Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for the update

BMount the ISO update file to the CD-ROM drive of the vCenter instance
Use the vCenter Management Interface to select the CD-ROM as the source for the update

CPlace the ISO update file in a folder accessible to the vCenter instance over HTTPS.
Use the vCenter Management Interface to select the update file as the source for the update

DPlace the ZIP update file in a folder accessible to the vCenter instance over HTTPS
Use the vSphere Client to select the update file as the source for the update.

Question 6

An administrator has configured Storage I/O Control (SIOC) on a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore.

* The datastore supports 30,000 IOPS

* Storage I/O Control has been set to manual

* Storage I/O Control is triggered when latency hits 30 ms

* The datastore contains 3 virtual machines (VMs)

* A gold tier VM

* A silver tier VM

* A bronze tier VM

Assuming the datastore latency does not exceed 29ms, what is the maximum number of IOPS the bronze tier VM is entitled to?

A30,000

B20,000

C10.000

D5,000

Answer : A

The bronze tier VM is entitled to 30,000 IOPS, which is the maximum number of IOPS that the datastore supports. Storage I/O Control (SIOC) does not limit the IOPS of any VM unless the datastore latency exceeds the threshold, which is 30 ms in this case. Therefore, as long as the datastore latency is below 29 ms, the bronze tier VM can use up to 30,000 IOPS.

Question 7

An administrator is tasked with adding two additional hosts into an existing production vSphere cluster to support the need for additional capacity.

The vSphere cluster currently has four identically configured ESXi hosts (esxOT esx02. esx03 and esx04) that utilize Intel Skylake-based CPUs. The two new hosts (esx05 and esx06) are configured identically in terms of memory and storage to the existing hosts: but utilize Intel Ice Lake-based CPUs.

The administrator must ensure that:

* Any virtual machine migrates to any of the six ESXi hosts running in the cluster.

* There is no virtual machine downtime during the process of adding the new hosts.

Which step should the administrator take to meet these requirements?

ACreate a new vSphere cluster with Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) enabled and move all hosts into A' the new cluster

BCreate a new vSphere cluster and move only three hosts into the new cluster.

CConfigure Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode on the existing cluster and add the two new hosts into the cluster.

DCreate a new vSphere cluster with vSphere High Availability (HA) enabled and move all hosts into the new cluster

Answer : C

The step that the administrator should take to meet these requirements is to configure Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) mode on the existing cluster and add the two new hosts into the cluster. EVC mode allows migration of virtual machines between different generations of CPUs by masking unsupported processor features. EVC mode can be enabled on an existing cluster without affecting powered-on virtual machines.
