NEW QUESTION 1
An administrator notices that a Windows virtual machine is using 95% CPU in Task Manager.
Which two actions should be taken to resolve this issue? (Choose two.)

• A. Increase the memory reservation of the virtual machine.
• B. Increase the CPU Shares on the resource pool where the virtual machine resides.
• C. Decrease the CPU reservation of the virtual machine.
• D. Increase the CPU limit on the resource pool where the virtual machine resides.

Answer: BD

Explanation: There are two ways to resolve high CPU usage. First increase CPU shares on resource pool where the VM resides. Secondly, increase CPU limit on the resource pool that serves the concerned VM.

NEW QUESTION 2
Which two statements are true regarding VMFS3 volumes in ESXi 6.x? (Choose two.)

• A. Creation of VMFS3 volumes is unsupported.
• B. Upgrading VMFS3 volumes to VMFS5 is supported.
• C. Existing VMFS3 volumes are unsupported.
• D. Upgrading VMFS3 volumes to VMFS5 is unsupported.

Answer: AB

Explanation: While a VMFS-3, which is upgraded to VMFS-5, provides you with most of the capabilities as a newly created VMFS-5, there are some differences. Both upgraded and newly created VMFS-5 support single-extent volumes up to 64TB and both support VMDK sizes of ~2TB, no matter what the VMFS file-block size is. However additional differences, although minor, should be considered when making a decision whether to upgrade to VMFS-5 or create new VMFS-5 volumes.

• B. DRS does not evacuate virtual machines from a host for the purpose of placing it in maintenance or standby modes if placing the host in this state would violate failover requirements.
• C. DRS will evacuate virtual machines from hosts and places hosts in maintenance or standby modes regardless of the impact this might have on failover requirements.
• D. VMware DPM will place hosts in standby mode even if doing so violates failover requirements.

Answer: CD

Which two steps should be taken to mitigate security risks associated with this configuration? (Choose two.)

• A. Remove the root user account from the ESXi host.
• B. Set a complex password for the root account and limit its use.
• C. Use ESXi Active Directory capabilities to assign users the administrator role.
• D. Use Lockdown mode to restrict root account access.

Answer: BC

Explanation: To address the security risks, yo need to set a complex password for the root account and make sure only authorized personnel use it. The second step is to use ESXi active directory to assign the administrator role to users.

NEW QUESTION 8
Which two settings are required for Virtual Machine Component Protection (VMCP) to protect from All Paths Down (APD) and Permanent Device Loss (PDL)? (Choose two.)

• A. Host Monitoring
• B. VM Restart Priority
• C. Virtual machine Monitoring
• D. Response for Host Isolation

Answer: AB

Explanation: VM Component Protection (VMCP) is enabled, vSphere HA can detect datastore accessibility failures and provide automated recovery for affected virtual machines. If either the Host Monitoring or VM Restart Priority settings are disabled, VMCP cannot perform virtual machine restarts. Storage health can still be monitored and events can be issued, however.

NEW QUESTION 9
Which three options are available for ESXi Certificate Replacement? (Choose three.)

• A. VMware Certificate Authority mode
• B. Custom Certificate Authority mode
• C. Thumbprint mode
• D. Hybrid Deployment
• E. VMware Certificate Endpoint Authority Mode

Answer: ABC

Explanation: You can perform different types of certificate replacement depending on company policy and requirements for the system that you are configuring. You can perform each replacement with the vSphere Certificate Manager utility or manually by using the CLIs included with your installation.
VMCA is included in each Platform Services Controller and in each embedded deployment. VMCA provisions each node, each vCenter Server solution user, and each ESXi host with a certificate that is signed by VMCA as the certificate authority. vCenter Server solution users are groups of vCenter Server services. See vSphere Security for a list of solution users.
You can replace the default certificates. For vCenter Server components, you can use a set of command-line tools included in your installation. You have several options.

NEW QUESTION 13
An administrator has created a resource pool named Marketing HTTP with a Memory Limit of 24 GB and a CPU Limit of 10,000 MHz.
The Marketing HTTP resource pool contains three virtual machines:
✑ Mktg-SQL has a memory reservation of 16 GB.

NEW QUESTION 16
Refer to the Exhibit.

An administrator recently created a Virtual SAN but no Storage Policies were defined. A few virtual machines were deployed to this cluster. The administrator analyzes the default Virtual SAN policy as shown in the Exhibit.
Based on the exhibit, which two statements are true? (Choose two.)

• A. Losing one cluster node will not affect data availability.
• B. Losing one Hard Disk in a cluster node will not affect data availability.
• C. Creating a virtual machine Swap file will fail if it violates default storage policy.
• D. Creating a virtual machine will succeed even if it violates default storage policy.

Answer: AB

Explanation: The Virtual SAN policy shows that the tolerate level is on so losing a cluster node will not affect data availability. Same is the case with hard disk in cluster node. Losing it will not affect data availability.

NEW QUESTION 17
During a vCenter Server upgrade, an ESXi 6.x host in a High Availability (HA) cluster fails. Which statement is true?

• A. HA will fail the virtual machines over to an available host during the vCenter Server upgrade process.
• B. HA is unavailable during the vCenter Server upgrade process.
• C. HA will fail the virtual machines over to an available host after the vCenter Server upgrade completes.
• D. HA will successfully vMotion the virtual machines during the host failure.

NEW QUESTION 18
Which password meets ESXi 6.x host password requirements?

• A. 8kMVnn2x!
• B. zNgtnJBA2
• C. Nvgt34kn44
• D. !b74wr

Answer: A

Explanation: A valid password requires a mix of upper and lower case letters, digits, and other characters. You can use a 7-character long password with characters from at least three of these four classes, or a 6-character long password containing characters from all the classes. A password that begins with an upper case letter and ends with a numerical digit does not count towards the number of character classes used. It is recommended that the password does not contain the username.
A passphrase requires at least 3 words, can be 8 to 40 characters long, and must contain enough different characters.
