NEW QUESTION 1
An administrator is able to manage an ESXi 6.x host connected to vCenter Server using the vSphere Web Client but is unable to connect to the host directly.
Which action should the administrator take to correct this behavior?

• A. Restart management agents on the ESXi host.
• B. Disable Lockdown Mode on the ESXi host through vCenter Server.
• C. Disable the ESXi firewall with the command esxcli network firewall unload.
• D. Reboot the ESXi host.

Answer: B

Explanation: Disable lockdown mode through the DCUI and then enable it through the vCenter Server instead. The vCenter Server does not keep track of lockdown mode state changes that initiated outside of the vCenter Server itself.

NEW QUESTION 6
What is the compression algorithm used by vSphere Replication to compress data at the source?

• A. FastLZ
• B. Lz4
• C. Lzr
• D. Lzx

Answer: A

Explanation: vSphere Replication 6.0 utilizes the FastLZ compression library. This provides a nice balance of speed, minimal CPU overhead, and compression efficiency. When using vSphere 6.0 and vSphere Replication 6.0 at both the source and target locations, updates are compressed at the source and stay compressed until they are written to storage at the target. In cases where there is a mixed configuration, packets may be decompressed at some point in the replication path. For example, if a vSphere 6.0 host is connecting to a vSphere Replication 5.8 virtual appliance, packets will not be compressed over the network. Another example: vSphere 6.0 replicating to a vSphere Replication 6.0 virtual appliance, which is writing to vSphere 5.5 host storage - packets are compressed from the source to the vSphere Replication 6.0 –irtual appliance, but are decompressed in the appliance before being written to the vSphere 5.5 storage at the target. Performing this decompression in the vSphere Replication virtual appliance will cause higher vCPU utilization in the appliance. As you can imagine, the most benefit from compression will be realized when running vSphere 6.0 and vSphere Replication 6.0 at both the source and target locations.

NEW QUESTION 7
An ESXi 6.x host in the vCenter Server inventory has disconnected due to an All Paths Down (APD) situation. An administrator has corrected the APD issue on the host, but it still remains disconnected.
What action should the administrator take next?

• A. Select Restart Management Agents from the DCUI.
• B. Execute esxcli system settings advanced set –d /Scsi/FailVMIOonAPD.
• C. Modify the advanced parameter /Disk/ApdTokenRetryCount.
• D. Enable the advanced parameter /Misc/APDHandlingEnable.

Answer: A

Explanation: If the ESXi 6.x in vcenter server inventory has disconnected due to APD, you have to restart management agents from the DCUI.

NEW QUESTION 8
When upgrading vCenter Server, an administrator notices that the upgrade fails at the vCenter Single Sign-On installation.
What must be done to allow the upgrade to complete?

• A. Verify that the VMware Directory service can stop by manually restarting it.
• B. Verify that the vCenter Single Sign-On service can stop by manually restarting it.
• C. Uninstall vCenter Single Sign-On service.
• D. Uninstall the VMware Directory service.

Answer: A

Explanation: To verify that the Vmware Directory Service is in a stable state and can stop, manually restart it. The Vmware Directory service must stopped for the vCenter Server upgrade software to uninstall vCenter Single Sign-On during the upgrade process.

NEW QUESTION 9
Which two are valid Identity Sources when configuring vCenter Single Sign-On? (Choose two.)

• A. Radius
• B. NIS
• C. OpenLDAP
• D. LocalOS

Answer: CD

Explanation: Active Directory (Integrated Windows Authentication)
Use this option for native Active Directory implementations. The machine on which the vCenter Single Sign-Onservice is running must be in an Active Directory domain if you want to use this option.
See Active Directory Identity Source Settings.
Active Directory as an LDAP Server
This option is available for backward compatibility. It requires that you specify the domain controller and other information. See Active Directory LDAP Server and OpenLDAP Server Identity Source Settings.
OpenLDAP
Use this option for an OpenLDAP identity source. See Active Directory LDAP Server and OpenLDAP Server Identity Source Settings.
LocalOS
Use this option to add the local operating system as an identity source. You are prompted only for the name of the local operating system. If you select this option, all users on the specified machine are visible to vCenter Single Sign-On, even if those users are not part of another domain.

NEW QUESTION 12
In a vSphere High Availability cluster, what is the VM Monitoring I/O stats interval default value?

• A. 60 seconds
• B. 90 seconds
• C. 120 seconds
• D. 180 seconds

Answer: C

Explanation: Occasionally, virtual machines or applications that are still functioning properly stop sending heartbeats. To avoid unnecessary resets, the VM Monitoring service also monitors a virtual machine's I/O activity. If no heartbeats are received within the failure inter’al, the I/O stats interval (a cluster-level attribute) is checked. The I/O stats interval determines if any disk or network activity has occurred for the virtual machine during the previous two minutes (120 seconds). If not, the virtual machine is reset. This default value (120 seconds) can be changed using the advanced attribute das.iostatsinterval.

• A. I/O will rotate on all storage targets regardless of port group state.
• B. I/O will rotate on all storage targets that are Active Optimized state only.
• C. I/O will rotate on all storage targets that are Active Unoptimized state only.

NEW QUESTION 17
A user notifies an administrator that Content Libraries are not visible. What is a possible solution?

• A. Assign the user the read-only role at the global permission level.
• B. Assign the user the read-only role at the vCenter Server root level.
• C. Assign the user the read-only role at the vCenter Server data center level.
• D. Assign the user the read-only role at the vCenter Server cluster level.

Answer: A

Explanation: The direct parent for content libraries is the global root. This means that if you set a permission at a vCenter Server level and propagate it to the children objects, the permission applies to data centers, folders, clusters, hosts, virtual machines, and so on, but does not apply to the content libraries that you see and operate with in this vCenter Server instance. To assign a permission on a content library, an Administrator must grant the permission to the user as a global permission. Global permissions support assigning privileges across solutions from a global root object.

NEW QUESTION 19
Refer to the Exhibit.

Review the Exhibit. An administrator has configured permissions for a group called VMGroup and a user named VMUser. A new Role has been created called PowerVM. The group and role have these charecteristics:
✑ PowerVM role can power on VMs
✑ VMGroup granted PowerVM role on VMFolder
✑ VMUser is a member of VMGroup
✑ VMUser granted No Access on VMFolder
Based on the exhibit, which statement best explains why VMUser is denied access to the VMFolder?

• A. The VMUser permission overrides the VMGroup permission.
• B. The No Access role overrides the PowerVM role.
• C. The VMGroup permission overrides the VMUser permission.
• D. The PowerVM role overrides the No Access role.

Answer: A

Explanation: ✑ Give No Access to the user at the vCenter Level.
✑ Go to the particular cluster you want to give permissions for. Then click on the permissions tab of that cluster and give the user Administrator access(or whatever role you intend to give). It will ask to override the inherited permissions, say Yes.
✑ Now when the user logs in, he/she will see only one cluster under the vCenter.
✑ No access will remove the visibility to the object

NEW QUESTION 20
An object has inherited permissions from two parent objects. What is true about the permissions on the object?

• A. The common permissions between the two are applied and the rest are discarded.
• B. The permissions are combined from both parent objects.
• C. No permissions are applied from the parent objects.
• D. The permission is randomly selected from either of the two parent objects.

Answer: B

Explanation: Most inventory objects inherit permissions from a single parent object in the hierarchy. For example, a datastore inherits permissions from either its parent datastore folder or parent datacenter. Virtual machines inherit permissions from both the parent virtual machine folder and the parent host, cluster, or resource pool simultaneously. To restrict a user’s privileges on a virtual machine, you must set permissions on both the parent folder and the parent host, cluster, or resource pool for that virtual machine.
