11. What is the minimum network throughput in Gb/s for vSAN using the Express Storage Architecture (ESA)?

12. An administrator is performing maintenance activities and discovers that a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore has a lot more used capacity than expected. The datastore contains 10 virtual machines (VMs) and, when the administrator reviews the contents of the associated datastore, discovers that five virtual machines have a snapshot file (-delta.vmdk files) that has not been modified in over 12 months. The administrator checks the Snapshot Manager within the vSphere Client and confirms that there are no snapshots visible.

Which task should the administrator complete on the virtual machines to free up datastore space?

Which two tasks must the administration perform when creating the content library? (Choose two.)

14. Refer to the exhibit.





An administrator is tasked with adding new capacity to an existing software-defined data center (SDDC).

• The SDDC currently hosts two vSphere clusters (ClusterA and ClusterB) with different CPU compatibilities.

• vSphere vMotion and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are currently in use in the SDDC.

• The new capacity will be implemented by provisioning four ESXi hosts running a new generation of Intel Skylake CPUs.

• All workload virtual machines (VMs) must support live migration to any cluster in the SDDC.

The administrator noticed the running critical "evc1" virtual machine (VM) shown in the exhibit is not migrating using vSphere vMotion to the original Clusters A or B.

Which three steps must the administrator take to support this functionality? (Choose three.)

15. Which two tasks can be completed using vSphere LifeCycle Manager? (Choose two.)

16. An administrator is working with VMware Support and is asked to provide log bundles for the ESXi hosts in an environment.

Which three options does the administrator have? (Choose three.)

17. An administrator wants to create virtual machine (VM) templates and store them in a content library. The administrator would like to use the content library to manage different versions of these templates so that reverting to an earlier version is an option.

How should the administrator create these templates?

18. A VMkernel port is labelled PROD01 and uses the default TCP/IP stack. Currently, this VMkernel port is configured for supporting live virtual machine (VM) migrations.

Which configuration change should the administrator make to isolate live VM migration traffic from other network traffic?

19. An administrator is deploying a new all flash vSAN cluster based on the vSAN Original Storage Architecture (OSA).

What is the minimum supported network throughput in Gb/s for each host?

20. A company has two sites: Site A and Site B. The administrator would like to manage the VMware vCenter inventories in both sites from a single vSphere Client session.

Which vCenter feature must be configured?

21. An administrator is preparing to perform an update to vSphere clusters that are running vSAN.

The administrator wants to ensure that the following requirements are met as part of the update:

• All hosts in the cluster are updated with the same software.

• The firmware versions on the hosts are updated.

• The new software versions are checked for compliance against the vSAN Hardware Compatibility List.

Which three steps should the administrator take to meet these requirements? (Choose three.)

22. An administrator is tasked with configuring certificates for a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) based on the following requirements:

All certificates should use certificates trusted by the Enterprise Certificate Authority (CA).

The solution should minimize the ongoing management overhead of replacing certificates.

Which three actions should the administrator take to ensure that the solution meets corporate policy? (Choose three.)

23. An administrator is tasked with allowing a single user the ability to take snapshots on a virtual machine.

When looking in vCenter, the administrator can see that there are already users and groups assigned permissions on the virtual machine as follows:

• The group VM_Users has the Virtual Machine Power User role.

• The group VM_Viewers has the Read Only role.

The administrator confirms that the user requesting the additional access is currently one of five members of the VM_Viewers group.

Which two steps should the administrator take to grant this user the additional access required without impacting the user access of others? (Choose two.)

24. An administrator creates a virtual machine that contains the latest company-approved software, tools and security updates. Company policy requires that only full clones are allowed for server workloads.

A combination of which two tasks should the administrator complete to prepare for the deployment of this virtual machine for multiple users? (Choose two.)

25. Refer to the exhibit.





An administrator set up the following configuration:

• The distributed switch has four ESXi hosts, and each host has two 10 Gbps NICs.

• In the Network I/O Control configuration, the amount of bandwidth reserved for virtual machine (VM) traffic if 4 Gbps.

The administrator wants to guarantee that VMs in the Retail distributed port group can access 50 percent of the available reserved bandwidth for VM traffic.

Given this scenario, what should the size (in Gbps) of the Retail network resource pool be?

26. An administrator must gracefully restart a virtual machine (VM) through the vSphere Client but the option is greyed out. The administrator has full administrative access on VMware vCenter and all the objects available in vCenter, but has no access to log onto the operating system.

Which action should the administrator take to meet the objective?

27. An administrator needs to perform maintenance on a datastore that is running the vSphere Cluster Services (vCLS) virtual machines (VMs).

Which feature can the administrator use in this scenario to avoid the use of Storage vMotion on the vCLS VMs?

28. Which feature would allow for the non-disruptive migration of a virtual machine between two clusters in a single VMware vCenter instance?

Assuming the datastore latency does not exceed 29ms, what is the maximum number of IOPS the bronze tier VM is entitled to?

31. An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager to install patches to a vSphere cluster. The cluster runs workload virtual machines (VMs) that are incompatible with vSphere vMotion, and therefore cannot be live migrated between hosts during the installation of the patches.

Which configuration in vSphere Lifecycle Manager will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs?

32. An administrator manually configures a reference ESXi host that meets company security standards for vSphere environments. The administrator now needs to apply all of the security standards to every identically configured host across multiple vSphere clusters within a single VMware vCenter instance.

Which four steps would the administrator complete to meet this requirement? (Choose four.)
