Question #1 Topic 1

An administrator is tasked with applying updates to a vSphere cluster running vSAN using vSphere Lifecycle Manager. Downtime to the ESXi hosts
must be minimal while the work is completed.
The administrator has already completed the following steps and no errors have been returned:
Downloaded all applicable software and created a new image.
Attached the new image to the cluster and run a compliance check against the image for the cluster.
Ran a remediation pre-check for the cluster.
Which two series of steps should the administrator perform to start the remediation of the cluster using the new image? (Choose two.)

A. 1. Use the Remediate option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to remediate all of the ESXi hosts in the cluster in parallel.
2. Allow vSphere Lifecycle Manager to automatically control maintenance mode on the ESXi hosts.

B. 1. Place each of the ESXi hosts into maintenance mode manually.

2. Use the Stage option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software on all ESXi hosts one at a time.

C. 1. Leave all ESXi hosts in the cluster operational.

2. Use the Stage All option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software onto all ESXi hosts one at a time.

D. 1. Leave all ESXi hosts in the cluster operational.

2. Use the Stage All option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to stage the required software onto all ESXi hosts in the cluster in parallel.

E. 1. Use the Remediate option in vSphere Lifecycle Manager to remediate all of the ESXi hosts in the cluster in sequence.
2. Allow vSphere Lifecycle Manager to automatically control maintenance mode on the ESXi hosts.

Selected Answer: CE
CE seems to be the correct answer. Generally you would want to patch a vSAN cluster a node at a time (sequentially) so you do not inadvertently
cause a storage outage in the cluster. Also, if you look in the link below, you cannot remediate a vSAN cluster in parallel mode:

Parallel remediation is deactivated by default, but you can enable it during remediation or in the vSphere Lifecycle Manager general remediation
settings.
You cannot remediate in parallel hosts in a vSAN cluster

From vSphere Client (H5UI) user can select the hosts to generate the log bundles.
So a user can select a single host or all the hosts to generate the log bundles.
This satisfies the option : C and D
Now obviously from each ESXis host client user can download only that hosts log bundle.
So This satisfies option: B

Cold migration is the migration of a source machine that is in the powered-off state. Cold migration is recommended for converting MS Exchange
servers, database servers such as Oracle or MS SQL, and other servers on which data is dynamically changed when a server is powered on (to
preserve the data consistency).

If the data on disks remains static, you can perform hot migration. Cold migration of physical servers can be performed if you boot from the live CD
and run the process of converting a physical machine including disks drives and the operating system.

Voting for cold cloning, but I don't see cold cloning mentioned in recent VMware docs. If someone else finds it, post a link to it. I can only find
mentions of remote hot cloning, not remote cold cloning. Cold cloning (in older docs) refers to booting from a CD and making a copy of the
physical server. This is the only option that makes sense in this scenario, but it is not specifically mentioned in docs I can find.

A vSphere Lifecycle Manager image can consist of the following four elements:
ESXi base image
The base image contains an image of VMware ESXi Server and additional components, such as drivers and adapters that are necessary to boot a
server. The base image is the only mandatory element in a vSphere Lifecycle Manager image. All other elements are optional.
Vendor add-on
The vendor add-on is a collection of software components that OEMs create and distribute. The vendor add-on can contain drivers, patches, and
solutions.
Firmware and drivers add-on
The firmware and drivers add-on is a special type of vendor add-on designed to assist in the firmware update process. The firmware and drivers
add-on contains firmware for a specific server type and corresponding drivers. To add a firmware and drivers add-on to your image, you must
install the hardware support manager plug-in provided by the hardware vendor for the hosts in the respective cluster.
Independent components
The component is the smallest discrete unit in an image. The independent components that you add to an image contain third-party software, for
example drivers or adapters.

The distributed switch calculates uplinks for virtual machines by taking their port ID and the number of uplinks in the NIC team. The distributed
switch tests the uplinks every 30 seconds, and if their load exceeds 75 percent of usage, the port ID of the virtual machine with the highest I/O is
moved to a different uplink.

The vCenter Management Interface and vSphere Performance Charts are both tools that can be used to monitor VM performance. The vCenter
Management Interface is a web-based interface that provides a centralized view of all VMs in a vSphere environment. The vSphere Performance
Charts are a set of graphical tools that can be used to track VM performance over time.

To ensure compliance with the company policy for time synchronization, the administrator should take the following step:

C. Ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) source.

The company policy states that all physical servers must synchronize time with an external time source that is accurate to the microsecond. In
VMware environments, ESXi hosts are responsible for timekeeping within the virtual infrastructure. By configuring each ESXi host to use a Network
Time Protocol (NTP) source, the administrator can ensure that the hosts synchronize their time with a reliable external time source. NTP is a widely

An administrator is responsible for the management of a VMware vCenter instance that is currently experiencing performance issues. The
administrator quickly identifies that the CPU and memory utilization of vCenter is consistently over 80%. Upon further analysis, it seems that the
vpxd process is contributing significantly to the performance issue.
A combination of which four steps should the administrator take to resolve the performance issues and ensure that a similar issue can be rectified
without requiring downtime to vCenter moving forward? (Choose four.)

A. Gracefully shut down vCenter using the vSphere Client.

B. Enable CPU Hot Add on the vCenter virtual machine.

C. Power on the vCenter Server Appliance using the vSphere Host Client.

D. Enable CPU and Memory Hot Add on the vCenter virtual machine.

E. Add additional CPU and memory to the vCenter Server Appliance.

Selected Answer: ACDE
ACDE: You cannot enable hot add while a VM is running, so you must shut it down first. B is wrong, you enable CPU & memory hot add, not just
CPU. You add additional resources while it is powered off to increase performance. Lastly you must power it back on with the host client. You
cannot power on vCenter with the vSphere client when vCenter is not running. ;)

Question #61 Topic 1

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.)

A. 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.

B. 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.

C. 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.

D. VM1 must be manually live migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance
mode.

E. VM1 must be manually migrated to another host within the cluster using vSphere Storage vMotion before esx01 is placed into maintenance

You don't use HA to move workloads when you are doing maintenance. HA is in case a host goes down/network isolation etc. That will cause an
interruption in service and what this question is telling you to accomplish is not what HA is for. Even if it didn't say the workload was critical, you
would never use HA in this manner.

Selected Answer: AD
Ans: A and B

Virtual machines that are running on a host entering maintenance mode need to be migrated to another host (either manually or automatically by
DRS) or shut down. The host is in a state of Entering Maintenance Mode until all running virtual machines are powered down or migrated to
different hosts.

Question #101 Topic 1

Refer to the exhibit.

An environment has the following configuration:

1. Resource Pool “RP-MOM” has a reservation of 6GHz and one running virtual machine (VM) “VM-M1” with 1 GHz reserved.
2. Resource Pool “RP-KID” has a reservation of 2GHz, and expandable reservations is activated.

The administrator creates two VMs, “VM-K1” and “VM-K2”, in the “RP-KID” resource pool with 2GHz reserved for each, and turns on “VM-M1.”

Given this scenario, which statement is true?

A. The administrator must deactivate expandable reservations to turn on VM-K2.

B. The administrator can create a third VM (“VM-K3”) at RP-KID and reserve 6GHz.

C. VM-K2 can be powered on because it can get the resources needed from RP-MOM.

D. VM-K2 cannot be powered on because there are not enough resources in RP-KID.

Correct Answer: D

Question #102 Topic 1

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator is tasked with adding new capacity to an existing software-defined data center (SDDC).

• The SDDC currently hosts two vSphere clusters (ClusterA and ClusterB) with different CPU compatibilities.
• vSphere vMotion and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are currently in use in the SDDC.
• The new capacity will be implemented by provisioning four ESXi hosts running a new generation of Intel Skylake CPUs.
• All workload virtual machines (VMs) must support live migration to any cluster in the SDDC.

The administrator noticed the running critical "evc1" virtual machine (VM) shown in the exhibit is not migrating using vSphere vMotion to the
original Clusters A or B.

Which three steps must the administrator take to support this functionality? (Choose three.)

A. Disable the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on the VM.

B. Reboot the VM.

C. Configure the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on the VM to Intel Skylake.

D. Power on the VM.

E. Configure the Enhanced vMotion Compatibility (EVC) on vSphere Cluster A and B to sup-port Intel Skylake.

F. Power off the VM.

Correct Answer: DEF

Powered off shows machine state so its enabled on VM - have to disable (a)
Cluster has different cpus before. Has to be configured for new Skylakes(e)
And of course - power on VM after that (d)

Looking exhibit the VM is already Powered Off so B and F are not correct
also EVC are already Enabled so C are not correct
so probably correct answers are A D E
