An administrator has configured a vSphere 5.5 test environment to evaluate the Virtual SAN
feature using Automatic Mode Disk Groups. The administrator needs to disable the Virtual
SAN cluster while preserving the virtual machines running on that cluster. The administrator
has already installed a vSphere 5.5 Client on a Windows 7 desktop and also has access to
the vSphere 5.5 Web Client. What should the administrator do to disable the Virtual SAN?

A vSphere administrator has created a Virtual SAN Cluster with Automatic Mode Disk
Groups. The cluster includes three ESXi hosts contributing one SSD and six SAS disks
each. The administrator has four new ESXi hosts that boot from a fiber channel array and
have no local disks attached. These four new hosts need additional shared storage but
there is insufficient space on the fiber channel array. The hardware budget is limited. What
can the administrator do to provide the needed storage for the lowest cost?

A customer needs a datastore to be seen across multiple vSphere clusters with applications
inside of the virtual machines that must detect the physical characteristics of the storage
device. Which type of virtual disk meets this requirement?

An administrator needs to prevent two virtual machines from running on the same host at
any time. Which DRS rule should the administrator apply?

A vSphere administrator needs to enable Distributed Resource Scheduling (DRS) in an
existing vSphere environment: The environment contains a High Availability (HA) cluster
with eight ESXi hosts. Six ESXi hosts are not in a cluster. DRS should be used on as many
hosts as possible. Initial placement of virtual machines should be automatically performed.
Migration recommendations should be provided, but not performed without approval. Which
procedure should the administrator perform to accomplish this task?

An organization’s wants to ensure that if a host in a High Availability (HA) cluster fails,
critical virtual machines resume operation even if there are insufficient resources to continue
to run all virtual machines in the cluster. Which HA setting should be configured to ensure
the cluster operates as expected?

A vSphere administrator needs to reconfigure the Distributed Power Management (DPM)
threshold to be more aggressive. Where should the administrator edit the settings of DPM in
the vSphere Web Client?

An administrator has created a Virtual Flash Read Cache and needs to add a total 2TB of
capacity to the cache. The administrator has a total of six SSD disks to add, but is unable to
add one of the disks. What is a likely cause of the problem?

A DRS cluster has been created with the following specifications: All mission critical virtual
machines are in the root resource pool. All other virtual machines are placed into two child
pools based on medium or low priority. The two child pools contain adequate resources
needed by the medium and low priority virtual machines. The two child pools are reserving
35% of the total available resources of the cluster. What is the advantage of leaving the
mission critical virtual machines in the root resource pool?

A vSphere administrator needs to temporarily disable DRS on a cluster containing a
resource pool hierarchy. Which procedure should the administrator follow to preserve the
resource pool hierarchy while DRS is disabled?
