A vSphere administrator needs the ability to adjust the amount of guaranteed physical CPU
and Memory resources to a virtual machine without incurring application downtime. Which
actions must the administrator perform?

A system administrator has an application installed on a physical machine that is licensed to
the MAC address of the physical NIC. This system needs to be virtualized. What two
methods could an administrator use to ensure the license will function in the virtual

machine? (Choose two.)

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? A. Select the
datacenter and create a DRS cluster. Add the six remaining hosts to this cluster, then
enable DRS. Edit the DRS settings and change the automation level to Partial.

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?

A vSphere administrator needs to migrate a virtual machine to another datastore and host
without disrupting virtual machine users. Which technique should the vSphere administrator
use?
