What is the role of vSphere Distributed Services Engine?

  1. Provide a live shadow Instance of a virtual machine (VM) that mirror, the primary VM to prevent data loss and downtime during outages
  2. Implement Quality of Service (QoS) on network traffic within a vSphert Distributed Switch
  3. Provide hardware accelerated data processing to boor.t infrastructure performance
  4. Redistribute virtual machines across vSphere cluster host affinity rules following host failures or during maintenance operations

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The role of vSphere Distributed Services Engine is to provide hardware accelerated data processing to boost infrastructure performance by offloading network services from the CPU to the DPU.

An administrator needs to perform maintenance on a datastore that Is running the vSphere Cluster Services (vCLS) virtual machines (VMs).
Which feature can the administrator use in this scenario to avoid the use of Storage vMotion on the vCLS VMs?

  1. vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS)
  2. vSphere vMotion
  3. vSphere Faull Tolerance
  4. vCLS Retreat Mode

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

The feature that can be used to avoid the use of Storage vMotion on the vCLS VMs when performing maintenance on a datastore is vCLS Retreat Mode, which allows temporarily removing the vCLS VMs from the cluster without affecting the cluster services.

An administrator is responsible for performing maintenance tasks on a vSphere cluster. The cluster has the following configuration:
. Identically configured vSphere ESXi hosts (esx01, esx02, esx03 and esx04)
- All workloads are deployed into a single VMFS datastore provided by the external storage array
- vSphere High Availability (HA) has not been enabled
- vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) has not been enabled Currently, a critical production application workload (VM1) is running on esx01. Given this scenario, which two actions are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode? (Choose two.)

  1. Fully automated DRS must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  2. VM1 must be manually shut down and cold migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  3. vSphere HA must be enabled on the cluster so that VM1 will be automatically migrated to another host within the cluster when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  4. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.
  5. VM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance mode.

Answer(s): A,D

Explanation:

Two actions that are required to ensure VM1 continues to run when esx01 is placed into maintenance mode are enabling fully automated DRS on the cluster, which allows balancing the workload across hosts and migrating VMs without user intervention; and manually live migrating VM1 to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion, which allows moving a running VM without downtime.

After a number of outages within a production VMware software-defined data center, an administrator is tasked with identifying a solution to meet the following requirements:

- Reduce the risk of outages by proactively identifying issues with the environment and resolving them.
- Reduce the complexity of uploading log bundles when raising support tickets. Which solution should the administrator recommend to meet these requirements?

  1. VMware Aria Operations for Logs
  2. VMware Skyline Advisor Pro
  3. VMware Skyline Health
  4. VMware Aria Operations

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

The solution that should be recommended to reduce the risk of outages by proactively identifying and resolving issues with the environment and reducing the complexity of uploading log bundles is VMware Skyline Health, which provides automated support and proactive recommendations for vSphere.
