VMware is the leader in Virtualization and Cloud Computing technologies and provides solutions in web connection and desktop virtualization.
VMware has changed the tech world from a physical to a software-based virtual world.
To manage and maintain an organizations business, an experienced workforce is required.
#1.An administrator wants to connect the ESXi host directly from the vSphere Web Client.
Which ports are required for this purpose?
Typically vSphere Web Client is used to connect vCenter Server, and VClient is used to connect ESXi hosts.
#2.The clock time of an ESXi 6.x host is not correct.
What should an administrator do to correct this issue?
#3.An administrator wants to shut down the host using the ESXi host.
Which option would be used in the Direct Console User Interface to perform this task?
What should he do to access ESXi host directly?
If it is enabled, we should be disabled.
#7.SSO is an essential component of the vCenter Server.
Which SSO component issues Security Assertion Markup Language tokens?
VMware Security Token Service component of SSO grants SAML tokens.
#8.What is a valid Identity Source used to configure vCenter Single Sign-On?
OpenLDAP is a valid Identity Source for configuring vCenter SSO.
#9.What happens to the files contained on shared storage When a Content Library is deleted?
When Content Library is deleted, all stored files in the content library will be deleted.
#10.What is the maximum number of vCPUs required for a VM in vSphere 6.0?
Maximum 128 vCPUs can be allocated to a VM vSphere 6.0.
#11.A windows domain user can be logged in to vSphere using vSphere Web Client.
What are the requirements to be met for this feature to be available and functional?
An administrator can allow users to jump in to vSphere Web Client using Windows session authentication.
The users must be signed in to Windows using Active Directory user accounts.
And, an administrator must create a valid Identity Source in Single Sign-On for the users domain.
#12.An administrator wants to clone a virtual machine using the vSphere Client.
Which explains why the Clone option is missing?
To clone a VM can be performed from vCenter Server either you connected via vSphere Web Client or VClient.
If you are directly connected to an ESXi host, you cannot perform cloning of a VM.
#13.What will happen if the .nvram file is deleted accidentally from a VM?
.nvram file is used to store the BIOS state of a VM.
#14.An administrator wants to connect the vSphere 5.5 Client to ESXi 6.x host.
#15.Which one of the secondary Private VLANs (PVLANs) types can send packets to Isolated PVLAN?
A promiscuous throw in of PVLAN can communicate and send packets to an Isolated PVLAN.
#16.What sample roles are provided by default when vCenter is installed?
When vCenter is installed, Virtual machine user and connection Administrator roles are provided.
#17.What will happen when all paths down (APD) event occurs for the software FCoE storage?
If all paths down events occur, Spanning Tree Protocol is enabled on the internet ports.
#18.What methods are available for upgrade a host from ESXi 5.x to ESXi 6.x?
vSphere Update Manager (VUM),esxclicommand-line tool, and vSphere Auto Deploy can be used to upgrade.
#19.What administrator should do before upgrading virtual machine hardware?
#20.vCenter Server up-gradation fails at the vCenter Single Sign-On installation.
What should you do to complete the upgrade process?
Before upgrading the vCenter Server, kindly verify that the VMware Directory service can stop by manually restarting it.
If it stopped manually, then you’re free to start the up-gradation process of the vCenter Server.
#21.What prerequisites should be considered before upgrading the vCenter Server Appliance?
And also, ensure that there is no firewall blocking port 7444 between the PSC and vCenter Server.
vCenter Server installation requires 64bit Windows OS to install.
vCenter Server will be installed in Windows Server 2008 R2 or higher Windows OS.
#24.What is the minimum Virtual Hardware version required for vFlash Read Cache?
#25.ESXi host is added in vCenter Server but not responding in vSphere Web Client.
If this issue occurs due to a firewall, which port should be opened?
Then he should check that port 902 (UDP) is not blocked by afirewall.
#26.Suppose a VM is unexpectedly powered off.
Which VM logs files should be considered to troubleshoot the issue?
If it happens, an administrator should check vmware.log and hostd.log log files to troubleshoot the issue.
#27.Why a VM appeared as an orphaned VM?
And the virtual machine was unregistered directly on the ESXi host.
What should he do to sort out the problem?
Then you cancapture the data pipe trafficby using any networking traffic capturing tool.
A one-member node of the fault domain fails.
What will happen with the remaining two nodes exist in the fault domain?
#32.At which level is a vSAN Fault Domain configured?
A fault domain is configured at the vSAN Cluster level, and nodes will be added to this domain.
Which action would mitigate the issue?
This command will show all active VIBs (vSphere Installation Bundle).
VIB is a collection of files like tarball or zip packaged into a single archive to facilitate distribution.
It is an excellent tool available for VMware administrators to troubleshoot performance issues.
For configuring ESXTOP, youll need vSphere Client, and putty and SSH sessions should be enabled.
For CPU performance testing, %RDY, %MLMTD, and %CSTP counters are used.
How to address this problem?
What should an administrator do in the vCenter Server to accomplish this?
#38.An administrator created a DRS cluster, and it became unbalanced.
What are likely causes to become unbalanced?
DRS cluster can become unbalanced when Affinity rules are preventing VMs from being moved.
And a rig is mounted to a VM prevents vMotion from one host to another.
What is the access level required to access all the environments?
To access multiple vCenter Servers within a PSC, requires Global Permission to access all environments.
Which DCUI option should the administrator use to renew the DHCP lease for the hosts?
