VMware vSphere Assessment

Which state does VMware recommend an ESXi host be in before removing the ESXi host from a DRS cluster?

• Powered off

• Quarantine mode

• Disconnected

• Maintenance mode

Which options are available when applying a customization Specification to an existing virtual machine? (Choose three.)

• Create a specification

• Import a specification

• Modify a specification

• Select an existing specification

• Create a specification from an existing specification

A vSphere administrator takes a snapshot before logging into a VM to preserve the current state in case of a problem.

Assuming this process is repeated every day for over 30 days, what two results will happen? (Choose two.)

• The virtual machine’s performance will decrease.

• The virtual machine can end up consuming more space on the datastore than assigned.

• The administrator will have

  backups for the entire month.

• The administrator has successfully cloned the VM 30 times.

When specifying a trigger action for an Alarm Definition, what two alarm state changes are available to be triggered on? (Choose two.)

• From normal to critical

• From critical to warning

• From critical to normal

• From normal to warning

Which datastore type can be extended to span several physical storage extents, including storage Area Network LUNs and local storage devices, in order to create a datastore that fits the needs of your virtual machines?

• Virtual SAN

• NFS

• iSCSi

• VMFS Datastores

What is the minimum number of virtual NICs that you can configure for a virtual machine?

• 4

• 1

• 0

• 2

Why does iSCSI use hardware and software initiators?

• To initiate connectivity to hardware and software components

• To enable storage of data.

• To obtain native support within ESXi.

• To establish network connectivity.

In what two situations would an administrator use Storage vMotion? (Choose two.)

• To create new virtual machines in the host.

• To bring powered-down hosts back online.

• To select separate locations for the virtual machine disk files.

• To migrate virtual machines from one datastore to another.

What does Storage DRS do to determine if a particular disk device is overburdened?

• Powers down the storage device.

• Monitors disk I/O latency on the shared storage devices.

• Takes a count of virtual machines on the storage device.

• Reads the data on the storage devices.

Virtual Volumes Virtualize-Storage Area Network and Network Attached Storage devices into logical pools of capacity.

What are these pools of capacity known as?

• Virtual SAN Datastores

• NFS

• VMFS Datastores

• iSCSi
