A customs has requested a vSphere 6.5 deployment design where ESXi hosts are provisioned with Auto Deploy. The customer requires that certificates can be automatically refreshed and renewed from the vSphere Web Client for ESXi hosts.
Which certificate policy should be configured for vCenter Server?
Answer : B
''If VMCA assigns certificates to your ESXi hosts (6.0 and later), you can renew those certificates from the vSphere Web Client. You can also refresh all certificates from the TRUSTED_ROOTS store associated with vCenter Server''
A company uses Strick Lockdown mode in the design for a new data center, but the vSphere administrator must still allow access to an ESXi host for third-party solutions. How is it possible to override and add trusted users?
Answer : B
The host can only be accessed throughvCenter Server. If SSH or the ESXi Shell is enabled, running sessions for accounts in the DCUI.Access advanced option and for Exception User accounts that have administrator privileges remain enabled. All other sessions are terminated.
An organization is trying to determine whether it should use the Windows version of the vCenter Server or use the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA). The organization will be using an external Oracle database, and it will manage about 30 ESXi hosts and about 200 virtual machines on 1 vCenter Server, but it would also like to see another group's vCenter Server from the same vSphere client window. Which type of vCenter Server should it use, and why?
Answer : A

An architect is designing a vSphere 6.5 implementation.
* The customer requires Cross vCenter vMotion for the newly-created data centers in New York and Houston.
* Each data center will use different IP networks for management and vMotion.
When creating a vMotion network, which two statements are required in order to use Cross vCenter Server vMotion? (Choose two.)
Answer : C, D
'Different IP networks' denotes Layer-3. As such, these need to be able to route between the sites and to route you need a gateway (default or static).
Since each datacenter will use different IP networks, L3 is required, so answer A is ruled out.As per B, you can script/select different port groups.So C and D look like the correct answers (as per ''Use the vMotion TCP/IP stack to isolate traffic for vMotion and to assign a dedicated default gateway, routing table, and DNS configuration for this traffic -- https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/6.5/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-5211FD4B-256B-4D9F-B5A2-F697A814BF64.html#GUID-5211FD4B-256B-4D9F-B5A2-F697A814BF64)As per Oliver's link, L2 is a requirement for VM network and L3 is supported for vMotion
A company is designing a new vSphere cluster to support a mission-critical application.
* The application requires 100% availability and cannot be restarted to recover from an ESXi host failure.
* The application consists of a group of 16 virtual machines, each with 8 vCPU configured.
Which solution satisfies the availability requirements?
Answer : A
As mentioned, fault tolerance doesn't support 8 x vCPUs in 6.5 and no other technology listed can ensure 100% up-time except some other application / OS method (i.e. Windows Failover Cluster).
* FT doesn't support 8 vCPU!
* vSphere Standard and Enterprise. Allows up to 2 vCPUs
* vSphere Enterprise Plus. Allows up to 4 vCPUs

When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released?
