An administrator is planning a vSphere infrastructure with the following specific networking requirements:

· The ability to shape inbound (RX) traffic

· Support for Private VLANs (PVLANs)

· Support for LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol)

What is the minimum vSphere Edition that will support these requirements?

  1. vSphere Essentials Plus
  2. vSphere Standard
  3. vSphere Enterprise
  4. vSphere Enterprise Plus

Answer(s): D



An administrator needs to create an IP allocation policy for a multi-tiered application running in a vApp.

The IP addresses should be allocated automatically by vCenter Server, but should not be released even if a virtual machine is powered off.

Which IP allocation model should the administrator use for the vApp?

  1. Static - Manual
  2. Transient - IP Pool
  3. DHCP
  4. Static - IP Pool

Answer(s): D



A new LUN has been created on an iSCSI array and assigned to an ESXi 5.x server . However, when the administrator logs in to the vSphere Web Client the LUN is not visible.
Other LUNs on the iSCSI array are visible.

What should the administrator do to resolve this issue?

  1. Rescan for the new storage device
  2. Ensure the LUN is zoned correctly
  3. Add the new LUN to the Static Discovery list
  4. Ensure the CHAP settings are correctly configured

Answer(s): A



An administrator decreases the CPU share value for two virtual machines in a DRS cluster from 1000 to 100 shares. The DRS cluster contains more resources than both virtual machines can consume.

The characteristics of the virtual machines are listed below:

· The second virtual machine is a clone of the first virtual machine.

· Both virtual machines are identical in every way.

· Both virtual machines are not attached to the IP network.

· Both virtual machines are powered on.

What impact on the virtual machines' performance will be observed?

  1. The virtual machines will have equal performance under all conditions.
  2. The performance of the virtual machines will reduce by a factor of ten once the share value is adjusted.
  3. The virtual machines will have equal performance under normal conditions and reduced performance when contention occurs.
  4. The original virtual machine will perform better than the clone when contention occurs.

Answer(s): A



A vSphere administrator needs to add more space to an existing 3-node Virtual SAN cluster. The attempts to add the new host to the cluster as a contributing member have failed. However, it can be added as a non-contributing member.

The host was previously used in a single host configuration. The administrator recently upgraded the host from ESXi 5.1 to 5.5 prior to adding it to the cluster.

What is the reason for this failure?

  1. The only SSD disk in the new host was formatted with a VMFS datastore.
  2. The new host has a 10Gbps NIC while the rest of the cluster members have 1Gbps NICs.
  3. The RAID controller in the new host does not have enough cache for the Virtual SAN datastore.
  4. The new host's VMFS datastores do not have sufficient capacity to be added as a contributing member.

Answer(s): A
