A vSphere administrator enables Fault Tolerance on a powered off virtual machine that has the following configuration:

The virtual machine's single thin provisioned virtual disk is sized at 100GB.

The datastore that houses the virtual machine has 120GB of free space.

After Fault Tolerance has been configured, another administrator attempts to use Enhanced vMotion to move a 30GB virtual machine file into the same datastore and receives an error.

What condition could cause this behavior?

A.

Fault Tolerance inflated the virtual machine's virtual disk file.

B.

Fault Tolerance created a temporary logging file on the same datastore.

C.

Fault Tolerance created a secondary copy of the virtual machine's virtual disk file.

D.

The Fault Tolerance logging file ran out of disk space.

A vSphere administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster with Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The cluster includes three ESXi hosts contributing one SSD and six SAS disks each. The administrator has four new ESXi hosts that boot from a fiber channel array and have no local disks attached. These four new hosts need additional shared storage but there is insufficient space on the fiber channel array. The hardware budget is limited.

What can the administrator do to provide the needed storage for the lowest cost?

A. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and use the existing storage in the cluster.

B. Add an SAS RAID controller to each of the new hosts. Attach one SSD and six SAS disks to each RAID controller and then add the four hosts to the Virtual SAN cluster.

C. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and contribute the fiber channel disks to the Virtual SAN.

D. Add the four new hosts to the Virtual SAN Cluster and change to Manual Mode Disk Groups.

A vSphere administrator is performing maintenance on a group of ESXi 5.5 hosts when an error message displays indicating that the ramdisk is full. The two hosts reporting the problem were deployed with Auto Deploy.

What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?

A. Redirect host logs to an NFS store

B. Disable the System Logs through the host DCUI

C. Decrease the maximum host log file size to 10240KB

D. Move the ramdisk to an SSD drive

Which condition will cause a HA/DRS cluster to display a yellow health indicator?

A. There are insufficient resources to satisfy the cluster's requirements.

B. A virtual machine has failed and cannot be restarted in the cluster.

C. Virtual machine I/O activity in the cluster has reached or exceeded a critical level.

D. One or more hosts in the cluster has entered maintenance mode.

During the installation of ESXi, a vmkernel interface can be configured with what capabilities?

A. Management traffic

B. Management traffic and vMotion

C. Management traffic, vMotion and Fault Tolerance logging

D. Management traffic, vMotion, Fault Tolerance logging and IP storage

Which statement is true regarding the licensing of vCenter Server?

A. The license for vCenter Server must be provided at the time of installation.

B. Changing the license assigned to vCenter Server requires a restart of the vCenter Server service.

C. Virtual machines can still be powered on if the vCenter Server license expires.

D. Licensing for a single vCenter Server installation is determined by the number of managed virtual machines.

An administrator needs to configure vFlash Read Cache to improve performance. What would benefit the most from enabling vFlash Read Cache?

A. Virtual machines replicated with vSphere Replication

B. Web Server virtual machines

C. Database virtual machines

D. Virtual machines migrated using Storage vMotion

A vSphere administrator is attempting to upgrade an ESXi host using vSphere Update Manager.

The administrator has attached the baseline and remediated the host. Update Manager reports the remediation process has completed successfully. However, upon inspection the host is not upgraded.

What is the most likely reason for this issue?

A. The ESXi host has less than 10MB free in its /tmp directory.

B. The user performing the upgrade has insufficient privileges.

C. The Update Manager service has not been configured with root level access to the host.

D. The baseline has been configured using an invalid ISO image.

A large medical institution needs to centralize malware and anti-virus scanning in its environment. Which vSphere component will satisfy this requirement?
