A vSphere administrator is unable to power on a virtual machine that resides in a HA
cluster. The administrator determines that the virtual machine has a larger reservation than
existing virtual machines. Which cluster setting should the administrator modify to enable
the virtual machine to power on?

Which feature requires an administrator using an RDM to configure it with virtual
compatibility mode?

An organization is designing a new vSphere cluster to support a new product
implementation. The following challenges have been identified by the vSphere
administration team: The organization has the vSphere Enterprise License. The network
administrator needs to gather virtual machine network statistics over a long period of time.
The network administrator needs the ability to quickly access and assess the traffic of
specific virtual machines in the event of an attack. The network administration team
members have previously had problems implementing manual etherchannel configurations
on their physical switches, resulting in production outages. The new cluster’s initial size is
15 hosts. The administrator designing the vSphere cluster is evaluating the need for
vSphere Enterprise Plus licenses to be purchased to upgrade the licenses at the company.
Which three features of a version 5.5.0 vNetwork Distributed Switch will address the

challenges and justify the upgrade to vSphere Enterprise Plus? (Choose three.)

An administrator is evaluating whether to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server or as
a vCenter Server appliance. The administrator has the following requirements: Utilize a web
browser to manage the vSphere environment. 16 ESXi hosts will be managed. Licenses
must be shared with the vCenter Server environment at another site. An external Oracle
10g database server will be used for the vCenter Server database. Why will the
administrator need to deploy vCenter Server on a Windows server?

An application administrator reports application slowness when loading the application’s
web portal. The virtual machine is currently connected to a vSphere Distributed Switch. The
application owner requests information about the virtual machine’s network traffic. Which
feature of a vSphere Distributed Switch should the administrator use to gather the needed
information?

A vSphere administrator is attempting to upgrade an ESXi host using vSphere Update
Manager. The administrator has attached the baseline and remediated the host. Update
Manager reports the remediation process has completed successfully. However, upon
inspection the host is not upgraded. What is the most likely reason for this issue?

A vSphere administrator needs to add a CPU to a virtual machine, but upon editing the VM
settings the option is grayed out. What would explain this behavior?

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?

An administrator needs to install vSphere Update Manager using an external SQL Server
2008 R2 database. The administrator has created the database successfully, but cannot
establish connectivity when testing the DSN. Which configuration setting could be causing
the issue?

Refer to the Exhibit. Which two reasons could be the cause of the vSphere Client reporting
N/A for hyperthreading? (Choose two.)
