Which three steps are required to entitle user and groups to pools? (Choose three.)

  1. Run the Active Directory entitlement script in the golden master, when preparing if for the pool.
  2. During pool creation in the entitlement pane, click on add, search for users and groups in the Active Directory, continue and finish the pool creation.
  3. During the Pool creation the desired Active Directory OU for the VMs will be specified. This will automatically add the preconfigured associated user group to the Horizon entitlements.
  4. Navigate to Inventory > Desktops > check mark a pool > click on Add Entitlement.
  5. Navigate to Users and Groups > Entitlements > click on Entitlements > click on Add Entitlements, search for users and groups in the Users pane and add the desired desktop pool in the next pane Desktop Pools.

Answer(s): B,D,E

Explanation:

To entitle users and groups to pools, you need to perform the following steps:
During pool creation in the entitlement pane, click on add, search for users and groups in the Active Directory, continue and finish the pool creation. This option allows you to entitle users and groups to a desktop or application pool at the same time as you create the pool3. Navigate to Inventory > Desktops > check mark a pool > click on Add Entitlement. This option allows you to add entitlements to an existing desktop or application pool after you create the pool4. Navigate to Users and Groups > Entitlements > click on Entitlements > click on Add Entitlements, search for users and groups in the Users pane and add the desired desktop pool in the next pane Desktop Pools. This option allows you to review and manage the entitlements for users and groups from a single location5.
The other options are not required or valid for entitling users and groups to pools. Running the Active Directory entitlement script in the golden master is not necessary as Horizon 8 automatically synchronizes with Active Directory domains that are configured in Horizon Console6. Specifying the desired Active Directory OU for the VMs during pool creation does not automatically add the preconfigured associated user group to the Horizon entitlements as you still need to select the users or groups from the search results7.

An administrator is creating an instant clone desktop pool and needs to enable NVIDIA Grid 3D

Rendering. NVIDIA GRID vGPU and drivers are installed on the physical ESXi hosts. In Horizon Console, when creating an instant-clone pool, the NVIDIA GRID vGPU option is not available in the 3D Render field.
Which two of the following could be the reason for the issue? (Choose two.)

  1. Horizon 8 does not have an explicit 3D renderer option for instant clone. Select Manage Using vSphere Client in the 3D Render field. Instant-clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client for the golden image.
  2. In Horizon Console, when an instant-clone pool is created, the golden image and snapshot that the administrator selected has not been configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU.
  3. The administrator has selected Shared when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server.
  4. Instant-clone pools do not support NVIDIA GRID vGPU.
  5. The administrator has selected Shared Direct when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server.

Answer(s): A,B

Explanation:

To enable an instant-clone pool to use NVIDIA GRID vGPU, the administrator needs to do the following:
Install NVIDIA GRID vGPU in the physical ESXi hosts and select Shared Direct in the Host Graphics Settings12.
Prepare a golden image with NVIDIA GRID vGPU configured, including selecting the vGPU profile to use12.
Take a snapshot of the golden image12.
In Horizon Console, when creating an instant-clone pool, select Manage Using vSphere Client in the 3D Render field. Instant-clones inherit the settings configured in the vSphere Client for the golden image12.
Therefore, the possible reasons for the issue are:
The administrator has selected Shared instead of Shared Direct when editing the Host Graphics Settings for the ESXi host in the vCenter Server. This option is for vSGA, not vGPU3. The golden image and snapshot that the administrator selected has not been configured for NVIDIA GRID vGPU. The administrator needs to verify that the correct vGPU profile is selected and that the NVIDIA drivers are installed in the golden image4.
The other options are not valid because:

Horizon 8 does have an explicit 3D renderer option for instant clone, but it is Manage Using vSphere Client, not NVIDIA GRID vGPU12.
Instant-clone pools do support NVIDIA GRID vGPU as long as the ESXi hosts and the golden image are properly configured12.



An administrator has added a supported PCI graphics accelerator to a virtual machine configuration.

When the administrator tries to power on the virtual machine, an error is displayed and the virtual machine remains powered off.
Which of the following virtual machine configuration settings needs to be applied to enable the virtual machine to power on?

  1. Enable Video Card 3D Graphics.
  2. Reserve all guest memory.
  3. Set Memory Shares to High.
  4. Disable CPU Hot Plug.

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

To enable a virtual machine to power on with a PCI graphics accelerator, such as a GPU, attached to it, the administrator needs to reserve all guest memory for that virtual machine. This is because PCI devices require direct memory access (DMA) to function properly, and memory overcommitment can interfere with DMA operations. Reserving all guest memory ensures that no memory swapping or ballooning occurs on the virtual machine, and that the memory address space is contiguous and available for DMA56.
The other options are not required or valid because:
Enabling Video Card 3D Graphics is not necessary for using a PCI graphics accelerator. This option is for using software-accelerated graphics or virtual shared graphics acceleration (vSGA) on a virtual machine7.
Setting Memory Shares to High does not guarantee that all guest memory will be reserved. Memory shares only affect how memory resources are distributed among competing virtual machines when there is memory contention on the host. Memory shares do not prevent memory overcommitment or swapping.
Disabling CPU Hot Plug does not affect the use of a PCI graphics accelerator. CPU Hot Plug allows adding or removing virtual CPUs from a powered-on virtual machine. It has no relation to PCI devices or DMA operations.



DRAG DROP (Drag and Drop is not supported)
Refer to the exhibit.
Drag and drop the correct options to build a Simple True 5SO Architecture on the left into the diagram on the right.

  1. See Explanation section for answer.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:



SAML -> Connects the client to Workspace ONE Access

Certificate Authority -> Issues certificates for vrm and Enrollment Server Connection Server -> Connects vrm to Active Directory
Enrollment Server -> Connects Workspace ONE Access to vrm You can find more information about the Simple True 5SO Architecture in the VMware Horizon 8.x Professional source documents or study guide1. This architecture is a simplified version of the True SSO Architecture, which allows users to log in to their virtual desktops and applications without entering credentials multiple times. The Simple True 5SO Architecture uses Workspace ONE Access as the identity provider, which authenticates users with SAML and issues SAML assertions. The Enrollment Server then uses the SAML assertions to request short-lived certificates from the Certificate Authority, which are used to authenticate users to the Connection Server. The Connection Server then connects users to their virtual desktops and applications through vrm, which is integrated with Active Directory2.
