Which three statements are true about shared storage capabilities on NFS volumes
supported by ESX Server? Select three.
A. You can configure ESX Server to boot from NFS mounted volumes
B. You can use VMotion
C. You can boot virtual machines stored on NFS mounted volumes.
D. You can create VMFS datastores on NFS mounted volumes.
E. You can create virtual machines on NFS mounted volumes.
Answer: B, C, E
Explanation:
ESX3.5 Configuration Guide Pg. 93
NFS Datastore
ESX Server 3 can access a designated NFS volume located on a NAS server, mount this
volume, and use it for its storage needs. You can use NFS volumes to store and boot
virtual machines in the same way you use VMFS datastores.
ESX Server 3 supports the following shared storage capabilities on NFS volumes:
* Use VMotion.
* Use VMware DRS and VMware HA.
* Mount ISO images, which are presented as CD?ROMs to virtual machines.
* Create virtual machine snapshots. See Basic System Administration at
Not D: NFS only support file level not block level. Only block level like FC and iScsi
can create VMFS datastore. So, NFS does not allow to create VMFS datastore on NFS
volumes.

In a VI 3 environment, iSCSI dynamic discovery... (Select two)
A. uses "send target" requests

B. uses "get target" requests
C. is the only discovery option available for iSCSI software initiators.
D. Is used along with static discovery on iSCSI software initiators.
Answer: A, C
Explanation:
ESX3.5 Configuration Guide - Pg. 110
Discovery Methods
To determine which storage resource on the network is available for access, the ESX
Server 3 system uses these discovery methods:
* Dynamic discovery - Also known as Send Targets discovery. Each time the
initiator contacts a specified iSCSI server, it sends the Send Targets request to the
server. The server responds by providing a list of available targets to the initiator.
* Static Discovery - The initiator does not need to perform any discovery. The
initiator in advance knows all targets it will be contacting and uses their IP
addresses and domain names to communicate with them.
The static discovery method is available only when the iSCSI storage is accessed
through hardware initiators.
Not D: Static discovery only support hardware initiators not software initiators. So, the
only dynamic discovery is software initiators.

What is a valid reason NOT to set CPU affinity on a single VM?
A. Setting CPU affinity will monopolize a CPU making it unusable for other VMs on the
server.
B. A virtual machine with CPU affinity might not receive all of it's reserved CPU
resources.
C. CPU affinity settings are ignored when using VMotion.
D. CPU affinity can only be set on hyper threaded systems.
Answer: C
Explanation:
ESX3.5 Resource Management Guide - Pg. 127
Potential Issues with Affinity Virtual machine affinity assigns each virtual machine
to processors in the specified affinity set. Before using affinity, consider the following
issues:
* For multiprocessor systems, ESX Server systems perform automatic load
balancing. Avoid manual specification of virtual machine affinity to improve the
scheduler's ability to balance load across processors.
* Affinity can interfere with the ESX Server host's ability to meet the reservation and
shares specified for a virtual machine.
* Because CPU admission control does not consider affinity, a virtual machine with
manual affinity settings might not always receive its full reservation.
Virtual machines that do not have manual affinity settings are not adversely
affected by virtual machines with manual affinity settings.
* When you move a virtual machine from one host to another, affinity might no
longer apply because the new host might have a different number of processors.
* The NUMA scheduler might not be able to manage a virtual machine that's already
assigned to certain processors using affinity. See Chapter 10, "Using NUMA
Systems with ESX Server," on page 151 for additional information on using
NUMA with ESX Server hosts.
* Affinity can affect an ESX Server host's ability to schedule virtual machines on
multicore or hyperthreaded processors to take full advantage of resources shared
on such processors.

You work as an administrator at Certkiller .com. You have determined that a virtual
machine (VM) is having performance problems because it does not have enough
CPU resources available.
Which two methods could you use to guarantee this VM gets 100% of a CPU on the
host when it needs it? Select two.
A. set CPU affinity on that virtual machine, pinning it to a CPU 1

B. set the CPU reservation for this VM to 100%
C. set CPU affinity on that VM, pinning it to CPU 1 and set CPU affinity on all other
VMs so that they specifically cannot use CPU 1.
D. Set the CPU limit for this VM to 100%.
Answer: B, C
Explanation:
You can set the reservation of the VM to 100% of the processor capacity. This will
ensure the no processor capacity is available for other VMs.
You can also set the affinity for the VM to CPU1 and set the CPU affinity on all other
VMs so that they specifically cannot use CPU1. This will ensure that only this VM can
use CPU1.
Incorrect Answers:
A: Just setting the CPU affinity on the VM isn't enough because other VMs could also
have the affinity set to CPU1. In this case, the VMs would share CPU1.
D: Just setting the CPU limit on the VM isn't enough because other VMs could also use
CPU1. In this case, the VMs would share CPU1.

QUESTION 106
You work as a network administrator for Certkiller .com. You have a dual-processor
VM (Virtual Machine) that has affinity set so that the virtual CPUs are pinned to
CPU 3 and 4 in VirtualCenter. The VM also has a reservation setting guaranteeing
it 100% of available resources for those two CPUs. Performance is poor in this VM,
however performance for all other VMs on this is acceptable.
VCP-310
What can you do to improve performance for this VM?
A. change the CPU share allocation from 'Normal' to 'High'

B. set CPU affinity on all other VMs prohibiting them from using CPU 3 and 4.
C. Remove the reservations on the CPUs inorder to allow the VMKernel to switch the
virtual CPUs between CPU 3 and 4 as needed.
D. Change the CPU affinity settings to ensure that virtual CPUs are running on two
separate physical CPUs on the host.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Resource Management Guide - Chapter 9 Advance Resource Management - Pg. 126
In some cases, such as display-intensive workloads, significant communication might
occur between the virtual CPUs and these other virtual machine threads. Performance
might degrade if the virtual machine's affinity setting prevents these additional threads
from being scheduled concurrently with the virtual machine's virtual CPUs (for
example, a uniprocessor virtual machine with affinity to a single CPU, or a two-way
SMP virtual machine with affinity to only two CPUs).
For the best performance, when manual affinity settings are used, VMware
recommends that you include at least one additional physical CPU in the affinity
setting in order to allow at least one of the virtual machine's threads to be scheduled at
the same time as its virtual CPUs (for example, a uniprocessor virtual machine with
affinity to at least two CPUs or a two-way SMP virtual machine with affinity to at least
three CPUs).
QUESTION 107
In a resource-constrained environment, which ESX Server memory conservation
technique has the LEAST negative effect on the performance of a running virtual
machine?
A. Vmmemctl
B. Using the .vswp file
C. Transparent Page Sharing
D. Lowering the Reservation variable
Answer: A
Explanation:
Balloon Driver - memory reclaimed from virtual machines by cooperation with the
VMware Tools (vmmemctl driver) and guest operating systems.
This is the preferred method for reclaiming memory from virtual machines, since it
reclaims the memory that is considered least valuable by the guest operating system. The
system "inflates" the balloon driver to increase memory pressure within the virtual
machine, causing the guest operating system to invoke its own native memory
management algorithms. When memory is tight, the guest operating system decides

VCP-310
which particular pages of memory to reclaim, and if necessary, swaps them to its own
virtual disk. This proprietary technique provides predictable performance that closely
matches the behavior of a native system under similar memory constraints.

QUESTION 131
You work as an administrator at Certkiller .com. You are trying to decide whether to
back up virtual machines (VMs) using a backup agent in each guest OS or using a
backup agent in the service console.
When is it most appropriate to use the guest OS strategy rather than the service
console strategy to backup VMs? Select two
A. when space for storing backups is severely limited

B. when all of the VMs must operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
C. when the current backup software license is per-server and is very costly
D. when quick recovery of full systems is a priority
Answer: A, B
Explanation:
A backup agent in the service console is used to back up an entire virtual machine (the
operating system, programs and data). Obviously, this requires more backup space than
just backing up the data. Furthermore, the virtual machine must be taken offline to
perform this backup.
Therefore, if backup space is limited or you cannot take the virtual machine offline, you
should use the guest OS strategy.

Which statement is true about running both DRS and VMware HA (HA) on the
same cluster?
A. This is not a recommended configuration.

B. After a host failure, HA will restart virtual machines and DRS will migrate them to
balance the workloads.
C. After a host failure, HA can start virtual machines intelligently using DRS algorithms.
D. There is no advantage to running these two technologies on the same cluster as they
are completely unrelated.
Answer: C
Explanation: VMware HA is a reactive system, reacting to host failures, DRS is a

proactive solution, and gives you better utilization for running VMs by balancing
the cluster.
After a host failure, HA will evacuate all the Vms that were running on that host and use
the DRS algorithms in order to place them intelligently on the hosts that remain in your
cluster.
Resource Management Guide\Understanding VMware HA\VMware HA Features:
A cluster enabled for HA: Is fully integrated with DRS. If a hosthas failed and virtual
machines have been restarted on other hosts,DRS can provide migration
recommendations or migrate virtual machines for balanced resource allocation. If one or
both of the source andtarget hosts of a migration fail, HA can help recover from
thatfailure.
QUESTION 138

What are three requirements for a VMware HA cluster? Select three
A. name resolution between all hosts

B. identical type and quantity of CPUs in each host
C. access to shared storage from all hosts
D. access to the virtual machine networks from all hosts
E. private Gigabit Ethernet network for all hosts.
Answer: A, C, D
Explanation: Clusters Enabled for HA

For clusters enabled for HA, all virtual machines and their configuration files must reside
on shared storage (typically a SAN), because you must be able to power on the virtual
machine on any host in the cluster. This also means that the hosts must be configured to
have access to the same virtual machine network and to other resources.
Each host in an HA cluster must be able to resolve the host name and IP address of all
other hosts in the cluster. To achieve this, you can either set up DNS on each host
(preferred) or fill in the /etc/hosts entries manually (error prone and discouraged).

VCP-310
D. 1 VirtualCenter server license, a 1 processor VMotion license, and an ESX Server

license for each virtual processor for each running VM
Answer: B
Explanation:
The ability to migrate VMs between hosts without taking them offline requires a
VMotion license per processor core. You also need an ESX Server license per core and a
single Virtual Center license for the Virtual Center server. We have three ESX server
hosts each with four physical dual core processors therefore the total number of ESX
server and VMotion licenses is 24 (three servers x four processors x two cores).
QUESTION 146
If the connection between the license server and VirtualCenter 2.0 Server is lost:
A. there is no impact because licenses are stored and configured per host when using a
license server.
B. VMs will continue to run, but after a grace period ends, they cannot be powered back
on until connectivity with the license server is restored.
C. ESX Server hosts can be configured and additional hosts added, but no VMs can be

policy for each uplink adapter?
A. Average Bandwidth
B. Maximum Bandwidth
C. Burst Size
D. Peak Bandwidth
E. Burst Average
F. Maximum Burst
Answer: A, C, D
Explanation:

VCP-310
each uplink adapter.
Average Bandwidth establishes the number of bits per second to allow across the
vSwitch averaged over time-the allowed average load.
Burst Size establishes the maximum number of bytes to allow in a burst. If a burst
exceeds the burst size parameter, excess packets are queued for later transmission.
If the queue is full, the packets are dropped. When you specify values for these two
characteristics, you indicate what you expect the vSwitch to handle during normal
operation.
Peak Bandwidth is the maximum bandwidth the vSwitch can absorb without dropping
packets. If traffic exceeds the peak bandwidth you establish, excess packets are queued
for later transmission after traffic on the connection has returned to the average and there
are enough spare cycles to handle the queued packets. If the queue is full, the packets are
dropped. Even if you have spare bandwidth because the connection has been idle, the
peak bandwidth parameter limits transmission to no more than peak until traffic returns to
the allowed average load.

resources, the system determines whether it can guarantee the reservation for which the
virtual machine has been configured (if any). This process is called admission control.
QUESTION 224
Which of the following are Resource Pool attributes? (Select all that apply.)
A. CPU Shares
B. Memory Shares
C. Memory Max
D. Reservation
E. RAM
F. Expandable reservation
G. Limit
Answer: A, B, D, F, G
Explanation:
CPU Shares
Memory Shares
Allows you to specify the shares for this resource pool. The basic principles are the same
as for virtual machines, discussed in .Shares.
Reservation
Displays the amount of CPU or memory the host reserves for this resource pool. Defaults
to 0.
A non-zero reservation is subtracted from the unreserved resources of the parent (host or
resource pool). The resources are considered reserved, regardless of whether virtual
machines are associated with the resource pool.
Expandable reservation
If this check box is selected (the default), and if the resource pool needs to make a
reservation that is higher than its own reservation (for example, to power on a virtual
machine), then the resource pool can use resources of a parent and reserve those
resources.

VCP-310
Limit
Displays the upper limit on the CPU or memory that the host allocates to the selected
resource pool. Default is unlimited. This default avoids wasting idle resources. Deselect
the Unlimited check box to specify a different limit. Resource pool limits are useful, for
example, if you want to assign a certain amount of resources to a group administrator.
The group administrator can then create virtual machines for the group as needed, but
never use more resources than specified by the limit.

Using resource pools can result in the following benefits:
A. Rigid hierarchical organization

B. Flexible hierarchical organization
C. Limited Access control and delegation
D. Isolation between pools, sharing within pools
E. Access control and delegation
F. Separation of resources from hardware
G. Integration of resources from hardware
H. Management of sets of virtual machines running a multi-tier service

VCP-310
Answer: B, D, E, F, H
Explanation:
- Flexible hierarchical organization. You can add, remove, or reorganize resource pools
or change resource allocations as needed.
- Isolation between pools, sharing within pools . Top-level administrators can make a
pool of resources available to a department-level administrator. Allocation changes that
are internal to one departmental resource pool do not unfairly affect other unrelated
resource pools.
- Access control and delegation. When a top-level administrator makes a resource pool
available to a department-level administrator, that administrator can then perform all
virtual machine creation and management within the boundaries of the resources to
which the resource pool is entitled by the current shares,
reservation, and limit settings. Delegation is usually done in conjunction with
permissions settings, which are discussed in the Introduction to Virtual Infrastructure.
- Separation of resources from hardware. If you are using clusters enabled for DRS, the
resources of all hosts are always assigned to the cluster. That means administrators can
perform resource management independently of the actual hosts that contribute the
resources. If you replace three 2GB hosts with two 3GB hosts, you don't need to make
changes to your resource allocations. This separation allows administrators to think more
about aggregate computing capacity and less about individual hosts.
- Management of sets of virtual machines running a multi-tier service. You don't need to
set resources on each virtual machine. Instead, you can control the aggregate allocation
of resources to the set of virtual machines by changing settings on their enclosing
resource pool.

QUESTION 282
The virtual machine can run in two different modes:
A. Direct execution
B. Indirect execution
C. Virtualization mode
D. Absolute execution
Answer: A, C
Explanation:
- Direct execution . Under certain conditions, the ESX Server Virtual Machine Monitor
(VMM) can run the virtual machine directly on the underlying processor.
This mode is called direct execution, and it provides near-native performance in the
execution of the virtual machine.s CPU instructions.
- Virtualization mode . If direct execution is not possible, the virtual machine CPU's
instructions must be virtualized. This process adds a varying amount of virtualization
overhead depending on the operation being performed.
QUESTION 283
What are the Virtual machine's available Disk Modes? (Select all that apply)
A. Persistent
B. Nonpersistent
C. Semipersistent
D. Undoable
E. Unchangable
F. Append
G. Re-do
Answer: A, B
Explanation:
Reference: Disk Modes for ESX 3 and later
ESX 3 provides full virtual machine snapshotting. With snapshots, the Disk Mode
describes how the virtual hard disk participates in snapshots. Normally, the disk
functions as it would in a physical machine, with changes written to the disk controlled

VCP-310
by the snapshot mechanism. For some purposes, you might make a disk independent of
the snapshot mechanism, so that snapshot operations do not affect the disk contents.
When a disk is independent, it can be:
* Persistent - The disk operates normally except that changes to the disk are permanent
even if the virtual machine is reverted to a snapshot.
* Nonpersistent - The disk appears to operate normally, but whenever the virtual machine
is powered off or reverted to a snapshot, the contents of the disk return to their original
state (all later changes are discarded).
