What are two ways to view the DNS settings for an ESXi 6.x host? (Choose two.)
A.
Use the vicfg-dns command from the vSphere Management Appliance.
B.
View the /etc/resolv.conf file on the ESXi host.
C.
Use vicfg-dns command on the ESXi host.
D.
View the /etc/dns.conf file on the ESXi host.
Explanation:
Explanation/Reference:
A and B correct.
vicfg-dns command lists and specifies the DNS configuration of your ESX/ESXi hosst.
ESXi OS shares some common commands and config file with Linux OS, like resolv.conf The file resolv.conf typically contains directives that specify the default search domains

I think any reference to the vSphere Management Appliance probably indicates an incorrect answer since it is supposed to be called the vSphere Management Assistant.

As an alternative to esxcli, you can also use the vicfg-dns command from the vMA or vSphere CLI. Running the command without any parameters will display a host’s DNS configuration:

Neither A nor C are 100% correct.
vicfg-dns command does not exist on esxi host.
vSphere Management Appliance does not exist.
But A is the closer answer because vMA could be called an appliance, while there is no way one can run that command ON an ESXi host.

voogle is correct, vicfg-dns is run through vCLI against (not “on”) an ESXi host. UGH

this is incorrect; the documentation lists vicfg-dns the same execution method as with esxcli; the vCLI reference is just that, a reference. The proper answer is B and C, as there is no vSphere Management Appliance in existence.

I agree vicfg-dns command does not exist on esxi host. So A is the closest to the correct

Its A and B, as for C depreciated on 6.x and D is not valid syntax
A good reference is here at https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-60/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vcli.examples.doc%2Fcli_overviews.3.3.html

To clarify to view DNS INFO its “”esxcli network ip dns server list””

this is incorrect; the documentation equally lists both commands without a flag for deprecation.
“You can set the DNS configuration with ESXCLI or with vicfg-dns.”
Additionally, there is no such thing as a vSphere Management Appliance.
