An administrator is upgrading an ESX 3.5 host to ESXi 5.x with an intermediate upgrade to ESX
4.0 using Update Manager. The host has a single Intel Xeon processor, 4GB of RAM, and a VMFS
datastore on a private, SAN-attached LUN.

What might cause the upgrade to be unsuccessful?

An administrator notices that when a virtual machine is placed into a resource pool, a warning
indicates that the virtual machine will receive a very large percentage of the total shares for
memory. Which action can be taken to resolve this problem?

Which three Storage I/O Control conditions might trigger the Non-VI workload detected on the
datastore alarm? (Choose three.)

An administrator has created a virtual machine that will be accessed from a public kiosk.
Management has requested that the virtual machine be reset to a known state once a week or on
demand if requested.
Which method is the simplest way to meet this requirement?

An administrator notices that log files kept on an ESXi 5.x host are being rotated very quickly,
inhibiting the troubleshooting of an issue. Which two configuration changes will resolve the issue?
(Choose two.)

An administrator receives a complaint that a virtual machine is performing poorly. The user
attributes the issue to poor storage performance. If the storage array is the bottleneck, which two
counters would be higher than normal? (Choose two.)

A company has converted several physical machines to virtual machines but are seeing significant
performance issues on the converted machines. The host is configured with sufficient memory and
storage does not appear to be a bottleneck. Which metric can be checked to determine if CPU
contention exists on an ESXi 5.x host?

Which three statements regarding Network I/O Control (NIOC) are accurate? (Choose three.)

Refer to the Exhibit.

ACME Party Supplies Corporation has a requirement to monitor all virtual machines in a vSphere
5 environment for CPU and Memory usage. An administrator configures an alarm in vCenter
Server to send an alert when any VM exceeds 65% memory utilization and 75% CPU utilization.

The alarm should warn administrators if the virtual machine is within 20% of the defined
thresholds. The alarm has been created with the default options as shown in the exhibit.
Which three modifications must be made to the default settings in the alarm definition to satisfy the
stated requirements? (Choose three.)

An administrator is performing maintenance on a storage array used by an ESXi 5.x host. The
administrator wants to disable alarm actions for the host while the maintenance is taking place.
What procedure will accomplish this task?
