Missed Questions: Question: An administrator wants to install vSphere ESX 4 on two blade servers.

Each blade has two dual core CPUs. How many vSphere licenses are required for th is solution? Incorrect response(s): 8 Explanation: ESX requires a license for each socket. The standard licensing allo ws for up to 6 cores per socket, whereas Advanced and Enterprise Plus editions a llow for up to 12 cores per socket. Since this configuration contains 4 sockets, 4 licenses would be required. Question: When configuring a virtual machine, what is the maximum number of vNIC s that can be allocated? Incorrect response(s): 8 Explanation: vSphere uses virtual machine hardware version 7. This version uses an Intel 440BX chipset with 32 PCIe root ports. If the guest OS recognizes PCIe, then up to 10 virtual network adapters can be installed. Question: Which of the following are virtual adapters that are only available in VMware vSphere (Choose Two)? Incorrect response(s): Flexible network adapter Explanation: The Flexible network adapter was introduced in ESX 3, allowing for vlance compatibility during guest OS installation, and changing to vmxnet once V Mware Tools was installed. The Advanced network adapter is the third generation version of this adapter and was introduced with vSphere. LSI Logic SCSI adapter Explanation: LSI Logic and BusLogic SCSI adapters have been available in ESX for quite some time. The Paravirtualized SCSI (PVSCSI) adapter was created by VMwar e and introduced with vSphere.

Question: You are running into disk contention problems on a VMFS datastore. Whi ch two actions should you take to solve this problem (Choose Two)? Incorrect response(s): Adjust disk shares for each ESX Server accessing this datastore. Explanation: Disk shares are set at the virtual machine level and can be used to prioritize access to the datastore. However, if contention is severe enough som e virtual machines may need to be moved to an alternate datastore. Move some of the virtual machines from this VMFS datastore to another datastore on a different LUN.

Question: A VMotion validation check will fail if the virtual machine has (Choos e Two): Incorrect response(s): Insufficient network bandwidth on the target virtual switch Explanation: VMotion requires sufficient network bandwidth to perform migration, but this is not a part of the VMotion validation check. An active connection to an internal virtual switch Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required to receive a 100% score for this question. Question: What two things are controlled by the DRS automation level (Choose Two )? Incorrect response(s): VM restart priority Explanation: VM restart priority is a VMware HA setting that determines the orde r in which virtual machines will be restarted if an ESX Host fails. DRS automati on controls where a virtual machine is placed within the cluster and balances vi

rtual machine workloads using VMotion migration. VM migration Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required to receive a 100% score for this question. Question: Which of the following actions would be LEAST likely to reduce resourc e contention? Incorrect response(s): Disconnecting VMs from a physical CD-ROM Explanation: A virtual machine connected to certain devices, like a serial or pa rallel port or a CD-ROM drive, can use some CPU resources. So it might be possib le to reduce resource contention slightly by disconnecting from these devices. H owever, disabling transparent memory page sharing would reduce the amount of phy sical memory available to virtual machines, actually increasing the likelihood o f resource contention, making that option the lease likely to reduce contention. Question: CPU Ready Time measures the amount of time that: Incorrect response(s): an ESX server s CPUs were idle (ready for work). Explanation: CPU Ready Time measures the amount of time a VM was ready to do wor k but was unable to get CPU resources. Question: VMware HA provides which of the following? Incorrect response(s): Zero downtime for virtual machines Explanation: When an ESX host fails, VMware HA restarts the virtual machines on surviving ESX Hosts in the same cluster. The virtual machine experiences downtim e from the time the ESX Server goes down until the VM is restarted. Question: At what level can blocking policies be applied on a vNetwork Distribut ed Switch (Choose Two)? Incorrect response(s): Virtual Adapter Explanation: Port blocking policies can only be applied to a vNetwork Distribute d Switch. They can be applied to dvPorts/dvPort Groups and to dvUplinks/ dvUplin k Groups Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required to receive a 100% score for this question. Question: When configuring ESX Server, which of the following services does not require a Service Console port (Choose Two)? Incorrect response(s): VMware Fault Tolerance Explanation: ESX Server utilizes a Service Console port for several types of man agement related traffic. This includes VMware High Availability, VMware Fault To lerance, the NTP Client, and SSH connections. VMotion traffic utilizes the VMker nel port. Software iSCSI required a Service Console port in previous versions of ESX, but with ESX 4 all traffic can be carried across the VMkernel port. Software iSCSI Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required to receive a 100% score for this question. Question: An administrator finds that the Hardware Status tab is unavailable whe n an ESX Host is selected in vCenter Server. Which of the following steps could be taken to investigate the issue (Choose Two)? Incorrect response(s): Check the status of the vCenter Hardware Service in the Windows Services applet Explanation: Hardware health information for ESX Hosts is provided in vCenter Se rver using the vCenter Hardware Service. This service does not show up in the Wi ndows Services applet, but the status can be checked in the Plug-in Manager. The service relies on a CIM Data Feed from the ESX Host, the status of which can be checked in vCenter Service Status.

Incorrect response(s): Storage Maps Network Maps Explanation: vSphere introduces Storage Maps, which help you visually represent and understand the relationships between an inventory object and all virtual and physical storage resources. This is in addition to Resource Maps, which are use d to determine if the proper connectivity exists for VMotion migration. Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required to receive a 100% score for this question. Question: Which of the following VMware solutions provides self-service provisio ning and management capabilities to internal teams? Incorrect response(s): VMware vCenter Orchestrator Explanation: VMware vCenter Orchestrator provides out of the box workflows that can help administrators automate existing manual tasks. Question: To prevent non-ESX Servers from seeing VMFS datastores, which would be the most efficent place to configure LUN masking? Incorrect response(s): on the Fibre Channel Switch Explanation: LUN masking is implemented at the HBA or Storage Processor level. Question: An ESX Server is configured to access an iSCSI target using CHAP authe ntication. What happens to the access if CHAP is disabled on the ESX Host? Incorrect response(s): Access is immediately removed Explanation: CHAP is only checked when connecting the host to the array. As long as the connection is active, access continues. If either endpoint (host or arra y) ends the connection, the reconnection attempt will fail due if CHAP is disabl ed. Question: Which of the following is true regarding backups created with VMware D ata Recovery? Incorrect response(s): Backups of ESX 3.0 VMs are not supported, but ESX 3.5 VMs are supported Question: What is a valid use case for the No Access role? Incorrect response(s): An administrator wants to prevent a user from launching the vSphere Client.
