Missed Questions: Question: An administrator would like to set up Host Profiles in a vSphere architecture. Using the vSphere Client, the administrator connects to vCenter Server and navigates to Management, then begins to build a new Host Profile but is unable to save the profile. Why is the administrator unable to save the completed profile? Incorrect response(s): No DRS/HA Cluster has been defined, and Host Profiles must be applied to a cluster. Explanation: While a Host Profile can be applied to a cluster to check newly added hosts for compliance, profiles can also be applied to individual ESX Hosts. Host Profiles requires a license that is not available in all vSphere editions, and if a license is not present the option is unavailable. Question: An ESXi host is configured to access an iSCSI target using CHAP authentication. What happens to the access if CHAP is disabled on the ESXi host? Incorrect response(s): Access is removed on the next rescan 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 array) ends the connection, the reconnection attempt will fail due if CHAP is disabled. Question: An administrator must perform maintenance on a fibre channel switch connected to vmhba2 on an ESXi host. The ESXi host has been configured with the Fixed policy, and the preferred path will be impacted by the maintenance event. Which procedure is the least disruptive option that can be taken to prepare for the maintenance event? Incorrect response(s): Change the policy on the ESXi host to MRU for the duration of the maintenance event Explanation: When maintenance must be performed on hardware connected to an ESX host, the path undergoing maintenance can be disabled using the vSphere Client for the duration of the maintenance event. Question: Which two actions have no effect on the amount of physical memory resources used for virtualization overhead? (Choose two.) Incorrect response(s): Increasing the number of virtual CPUs in the virtual machine. Explanation: Increasing the number of virtual CPUs in the virtual machine will increase the overhead for the virtual machine. Adjusting memory share values affects priority access to resources when contention exists, but does not increase or decrease a virtual machine's overhead. Operating System architecture affected memory overhead in earlier generations of ESX, but does not impact overhead in vSphere 4.x Increasing the memory shares for the virtual machine.

Question: You are running into disk contention problems on a VMFS datastore. Which two actions will resolve this problem? (Choose two.) Incorrect response(s): Adjust disk shares for all virtual machines accessing this datastore from the same ESXi host Move some of the virtual machines from this VMFS datastore to another datastore on the same LUN. 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 some virtual machines may need to be moved to an alternate datastore. Moving these virtual machines to a datastore on the same LUN would not relieve contention.

Incorrect response(s): Static Targets, Dynamic Targets Explanation: The iSCSI discovery methods supported by ESX Server are Static Discovery and SendTargets. Question: What would cause the proportional share mechanism to be invoked? Incorrect response(s): the sum of reservations exceeds the physical resources Explanation: When a virtual machine is powered on, the VMkernel checks to see if there are physical resources available to meet any reservations. If there are insufficent resources the virtual machine will not power on, making the condition in this answer impossible. Question: What does a memory reservation define? Incorrect response(s): the maximum amount of physical memory that will be used by a VM Explanation: A memory reservation guarantees a specified amount of physical memory to a virtual machine. Beyond the reservation, physical memory will always be granted to a VM if it is available. Question: Which condition produces a warning message but will allow a VMotion migration to proceed? Incorrect response(s): A virtual machine has an active connection to the ESXi host's CD-ROM drive Explanation: Virtual Machines with active connections to an ESX Host's physical devices cannot be VMotion migrated. If the connection is disabled, the migration can proceed. The connection can be enabled once the migration is complete. Question: You are running into disk contention problems on a VMFS datastore. Which two actions will resolve this problem? (Choose two.) Incorrect response(s): Adjust disk shares for each ESXi host accessing this datastore. Explanation: Disk shares are set at the virtual machine level and can be used to prioritize access to the datastore.
