An administrator removes a virtual machine from a resource pool and places it in the DRS
root resource pool. Users report the performance of the application running on the virtual
machine has improved. The virtual machine relocation was the only change that occurred.

What explains the change in application performance?

An application team is implementing a new solution in the virtualized environment. The
application vendor states the application is memory intensive. The application is very
unstable when operating without adequate on-demand access to physical memory. The
application’s virtual machines are assigned to the Mission Critical resource pool. Which
resource pool setting will help ensure the application has adequate access to memory?

What will cause the validation of a vMotion migration to fail?

A vSphere administrator is attempting to migrate a virtual machine, but the progress bar for
the migration remains at 10%. Which issue could be preventing the vMotion migration?

An administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine from one datastore to another, but the
virtual machine has a snapshot. The virtual machine is running on an ESXi 5.x host. Which
action must the vSphere administrator take to ensure that the snapshot data remains intact?

How is changed block tracking (CBT) used in a vSphere implementation?

An administrator is attempting to use Update Manager to patch a cluster of ESXi 5.x hosts.
The administrator needs to stage the patches for a scheduled update after hours. When
verifying the hosts after the scheduled upgrade, the administrator determines that one of the
hosts was not remediated and patches are not staged. The host is using PXE as its boot
method. What condition would cause this behavior?

Which vSphere feature creates a copy of a virtual machine that can be stored locally within
a cluster or at another site, and provides the ability to rapidly restore a virtual machine within
minutes?

The administrator has deployed a third-party virtual appliance in the organization’s vSphere
environment and needs to use Update Manager to maintain the third-party appliance. How
should the administrator accomplish this task with the least administrative effort?

For security reasons, SSH and the ESXi Shell have been disabled on a standalone ESXi 5.x
host. A vSphere administrator accesses the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) to

examine log files related to a recent connection issue. Which system log can the
administrator access to determine the cause of the issue?
