A company is in the process of deploying a modern video-streaming application. The application is able to scale (expand and collapse) its streaming nodes in the form of CentOS 7.x 64bit virtual machines, based on demand. This IO-Intensive application has a high CPU demand and generates a significant number of disk operations (IOPS). To host […]

Which two security configurations will help meet this requirement? (Choose two.) A. enable lockdown mode strict B. disable DCUI access C. enable lockdown mode normal D. disable shell access

The system administrator team is planning to upgrade its vCenter Server 5.5 environments to version 6.5. Each vCenter 5.5 is pointing to a Single Sign On (SSO) server that has a dedicated virtual machine The SSO servers are currently in independent SSO domains. During the upgrade process, the administrators would like to combine their two […]

A solution architect has made the following design decisions: Leverage existing hardware that is certified on earlier versions of vSphere but is NOT on HCL for ESXi 6.5. Upgrade vCenter Server to version 6.5. Configure separate clusters based on ESXi versions 5.5, 6.0, and 6.5 for newly purchased, certified hardware. The underlying CPU family is […]

A solution architect has finished conducting interviews and gathering requirements for a company, and has determined that the logical requirements are: Two data centers for high availability Synchronous replication to meet the zero minute RPO Separating management workloads from application workloads Dedicated 10Gb uplink for each low latency server Single management point for the entire […]

When implementing update policies for the vSphere environment, which would be the VMware-recommended way to update the vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) when an underlying operating system (OS) patch is released? A. Introduce a policy that requires a system administrator to check if a new appliance update (which might include an OS update) is available from […]

A database administrator is operating a virtual machine (VM) configured with 16 vCPU and 64GB of RAM. A recent performance audit has indicated that this virtual machine is oversized and is using less than 60% of its configured CPU and memory capacity. The ESXi host that contains this VM has 2 physical processors with 10 […]

Which three actions would satisfy these requirements? (Choose three.) A. Utilizing vSphere CLI and vSphere SDK for Perl scripts. B. Restricting vCenter Server access to only the management network. C. Assigning the default Administrator role to all administrator users. D. Synchronizing time in the vCenter Server with a NTP source. E. Removing expired and revoked […]
