NEW QUESTION 1
An administrator is using Auto Deploy to create several ESXi 6.x hosts that will be connected to a vSphere Distributed Switch. After the hosts are deployed, the administrator notices that LACP packets are not being sent between them.
Which statement best describes why this issue is occurring?

• A. LACP is not enabled on the vCenter Server.
• B. The LACP support settings do not exist in the host profile.
• C. The LACP installation bundle is not included in the image profile.
• D. LACP has not been configured on the Auto Deploy server.

Answer: B

Explanation: Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP) on a vSphere distributed switch allows network devices to negotiate automatic bundling of links by sending LACP packets to a peer. However, there are some limitations when using LACP with a vSphere-distributed switch.
✑ LACP only works with IP Hash load balancing and Link Status Network failover detection.
✑ LACP is not compatible with iSCSI software multipathing.
✑ vSphere only supports one LACP group per distributed switch, and only one LACP group per host.
✑ LACP settings do not exist in host profiles.
✑ LACP between two nested ESXi hosts is not possible.
✑ LACP does not work with port mirroring.

NEW QUESTION 2
When attempting to remove a host from a vSphere Distributed Switch (vDS), an administrator observes the error message:
The resource ‘16’ is in use
What are two reasons why this error would be displayed? (Choose two.)

• A. Vmkernel network adapters on the vDS are in use.
• B. Virtual machine network adapters are connected to the vDS.
• C. Network I/O Control has been configured on the vDS.
• D. There is active network traffic on the vDS.

Answer: AB

NEW QUESTION 3
Which condition would cause a vCenter Server installation to fail when installing on a Windows virtual machine?

• A. The virtual machine does not have at least four vCPUs.
• B. The virtual machine is running Windows Server 2008.
• C. The virtual machine has an E1000 network device.
• D. The virtual machine does not have 16GB of RAM.

Answer: B

Explanation: If you use Simple Install to install vCenter Server and components on a Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 2012 host, and the host is configured to use DHCP IP addressing, the installation fails with warning and error messages.

NEW QUESTION 4
When attempting to connect to a vCenter Server, an administrator observes the following at the top of the vSphere Web Client:
Could not connect to one or more vCenter Server Systems: https://vCenter.corp.com:443/sdk
What three reasons could be preventing the vSphere Web Client from communicating with this vCenter Server? (Choose three.)

• A. The vCenter Server machine is not responding via the network.
• B. An incorrect entry for this vCenter Server exists in the Single Sign-On service.
• C. The SSL certificates do not match the FQDN address for the server.
• D. The Platform Services Controller is external to this vCenter Server.
• E. The DNS entry for the vCenter Server is incorrect.

Answer: ABC

NEW QUESTION 5
An administrator notices that one virtual machine is in an orphaned state.
What are two reasons that a virtual machine can appear as orphaned? (Choose two.)

• A. A Vmware High Availability host failure has occurred.
• B. The virtual machine was unregistered directly on the host.
• C. The ESXi host is disconnected.
• D. The user does not have privilege to access the virtual machine.

Answer: AB

Explanation: Virtual machines can become orphaned if a host failover is unsuccessful, or when the virtual machine is unregistered directly on the host. If this situation occurs, move the orphaned virtual machine to another host in the datacenter that has access to the datastore on which the virtual machine files are stored.

NEW QUESTION 6
Refer to the Exhibit.

An administrator manages a High Availability (HA)/Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)- enabled cluster and has configured the affinity rule shown in the Exhibit.
Which two statements best describe the configuration shown in the exhibit? (Choose two.)

• A. HA will not failover Marketing to ESXi hosts that are not in the Host Group.

NEW QUESTION 11
An administrator is configuring resource pools for a vSphere 6.x cluster. The cluster has these characteristics:
• Five ESXi 6.x hosts
• Six cores per host
• 70 virtual machines with 1 vCPU each
The administrator configures three resource pools and places the virtual machines into the pools, as follows:
• Production pool - High Share value with 40 virtual machines
• Infrastructure pool - Medium Share value with 20 virtual machines
• Development pool - Low Share value with 10 virtual machines
Given this configuration, what is the expected performance for each group of virtual machines during contention?

• A. Virtual machines in the Production pool will perform two times as well as those in the Infrastructure pool.
• B. Virtual machines in the Infrastructure pool will perform four times as well as those in the Development pool.
• C. Virtual machines in all resource pools will perform equally.

NEW QUESTION 12
Which two advanced features should be disabled for virtual machines that are only hosted on a vSphere system? (Choose two.)

• A. isolation.tools.unity.push.update.disable
• B. isolation.tools.ghi.launchmenu.change
• C. isolation.tools.bbs.disable
• D. isolation.tools.hgfsServerSet.enable

Answer: AB

Explanation: Because VMware virtual machines run in many VMware products in addition to vSphere, some virtual machine parameters do not apply in a vSphere environment. Although these features do not appear in vSphere user interfaces, disabling them reduces the number of vectors through which a guest operating system could access a host. Use the following
.vmx setting to disable these features:
isolation.tools.unity.push.update.disable = "TRUE" isolation.tools.ghi.l“unch”enu.change = "TRUE" isolation.tools.ghi.a“tolo”on.disable = "TRUE" isolation.tools.hgfsS“rver”et.disable = "TRUE" isolation.tools.memSc“edFa”eSampleStats.disable = "TRUE" isolation.tools.getCr“ds.d”sable = "TRUE"

NEW QUESTION 14
An administrator wants to configure an ESXi 6.x host to use Active Directory (AD) to manage users and groups. The AD domain group ESX Admins is planned for administrative access to the host.
Which two conditions should be considered when planning this configuration? (Choose two.)

• A. If administrative access for ESX Admins is not required, this setting can be altered.
• B. The users in ESX Admins are not restricted by Lockdown Mode.
• C. An ESXi host provisioned with Auto Deploy cannot store AD credentials.
• D. The users in ESX Admins are granted administrative privileges in vCenter Server.

Answer: AC

Explanation: The setting can be altered if administrative access for ESX admins is not required. The second rule is that the ESX admins users should not be restricted by Lockdown mode.

NEW QUESTION 16
Refer to the Exhibit.

A vSphere 6.x environment is configured with VMware Virtual Volumes (VVOLs). An administrator accesses the cluster Actions menu, as shown in the Exhibit.
Which option is used to create a VVOL on an existing VVOL container?

• A. Storage
• B. Deploy OVF Template
• C. New vApp
• D. Settings

Answer: A

Explanation: A storage container is the storage that is available physically on your storage array. Now I say physically but this could also be virtually presented storage even on an ESXi host but somewhere somehow it will be back-ended on some physical medium, be it HDD, SSD or hey, maybe even a super fast memory disk. Basically it’s a chunk of physical storage somewhere. Capacity Pools are logical partitions carved out of these to provide a chunk of storage to your VM Admins. Capacity pools may also span multiple storage arrays even across sites. Now you could have a single capacity pool within your storage container or multiple depending on your requirements if you need some sort of logical separation for say separate tenants or separate VM admins needing their own separate chunk of storage but just simply think of it as a chunk of storage presented to your VM admins.

NEW QUESTION 19
An administrator has configured three vCenter Servers and vRealize Orchestrator within a Platform Services Controller domain, and needs to grant a user privileges that span all environments.
Which statement best describes how the administrator would accomplish this?

• A. Assign a Global Permission to the user.
• B. Assign a vCenter Permission to the user.
• C. Assign vsphere.local membership to the user.
• D. Assign an ESXi Permission to the user.
