An administrator adds an ESXi 5.x host to the inventory of a vCenter Server that is configured with
a vSphere Distributed Switch. The vSphere Web Client indicates that the host is not responding.
The administrator determines from the command line that the vpxa agent is stopped.
What should the administrator do to resolve this issue without affecting the uptime of the virtual
machines running on the host?

An ESXi host’s networking is configured as shown. The virtual machine named Fileserver01 is
unable to ping anything on an external network:
Which condition would explain this behavior?

A security audit has revealed that a virtual machine on vSwitch1 is receiving all traffic sent to the
virtual switch, violating corporate policy. The vSphere administrator examines the properties for
vSwitch1, as shown in the exhibit:

An administrator receives notice of a large number of ARP table issues. The issues began after a
maintenance window 36 hours ago. The issue did not exist prior to the maintenance window.
Which change was made to the port group that is causing the ARP table issue?

A vSphere administrator attempts to manually vMotion a virtual machine but receives error
messages related to the Shared Storage datastore shown in the exhibit.
The administrator uses the vSphere Web Client and locates the datastore settings shown:
Which action should the administrator take to resolve these errors?

A SAN administrator recently installed a storage encryption switch on the Fibre Channel Fabric.
Shortly after the deployment, several new VMFS5 datastores recently created were dismounted.
Attempts to manually mount them fail. VMFS5 upgraded datastores are unaffected. All Storage
arrays in use support VASA and VAAI.

What is the root cause of this problem?

An administrator is using esxtop to troubleshoot a storage performance issue.
Which parameter should the administrator check to monitor any storage-related vSphere
overhead?

An error occurs while building a new virtual machine with a thin provisioned virtual disk size of
20GB. The datastore has 35GB of free space. The datastore is overcommitted by 95GB.
What is preventing the virtual machine from being built?

A vSphere administrator enables and configures a Software iSCSI Initiator, and configures an
iSCSI vmkernel portgroup with Port Binding. The SAN administrator creates a few LUNs on an
iSCSI server. However, when the vSphere administrator adds the IP address of the iSCSI server
in the Dynamic Discovery list, no iSCSI targets are detected.
What condition would result in this behavior?

A vSphere administrator configures a preferred heartbeat datastore in an HA/DRS cluster
configuration. The vCenter Server identifies an alternative preferred datastore.
Why would vCenter Server identify an alternative preferred datastore over the administrator’s
preference?
