Exhibit switch

An administrator configures a distributed switch and adds the first VMware ESXi server to it.

The administrator also performs the following activities:

•The administrator assigns two uplinks to the distributed switch.

•The administrator enables uplink teaming.

When attempting to perform a health check of the teaming policy, the health status of the Teaming and Failover reports as ' Unknown?, as seen in the exhibit.

What can the administrator changes in the distributed switch for the health status to report correctly?

An administrator Is looking to deploy a new VMware vCenter Instance. The current environment consists of 75 hosts and is expected to grow up to 100 hosts over the next three years.

Which deployment size should the administrator select?

An administrator needs to configure a content library solution based on the following information:

•A new corporate virtual machine (VM) template is created every month to include all of the latest patches.

•The new VM template should be downloaded from the primary data center site (London) to two secondary data center sites (Tokyo and New York) as soon as possible.

•There is limited disk space available at one of the secondary data center sites (Tokyo) due to an ongoing data center consolidation project.

Which four steps should the administrator take to configure the content library solution before adding a VM template? (Choose four.)

Refer to the exhibit.

After removing an ESXi host from a cluster for maintenance, a number of virtual machines have encountered the warning seen in the exhibit. After re-adding the ESXi, the issue is resolved. Which step should the administrator take to move the triggered alarm to its normal state?

Refer to the exhibit.

An administrator set up the following configuration:

• The distributed switch has three ESXi hosts, and each host has two 40 Gbps NICs.

• The amount of bandwidth reserved for virtual machine (VM) traffic is 6 Gbps.

The administrator wants to guarantee that VMs in the Finance distributed port group can access 50 percent of the available reserved bandwidth for VM traffic. k

Given this scenario, what should the size (in Gbps) of the Finance network resource pool be?

What are two uses cases for VMware Tools? (Choose two.)

An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery (DR) options for a software-defined data center (SDDC).

The following requirements must be met:

•All virtual machines (VMs) must be protected to a secondary site.

•The source VMs must remain online until the failover.

•When failing over to the secondary site, application downtime is allowed

•The DR failover must be managed from the vSphere Client.

•Costs must remain as low as possible.

How can the administrator accomplish this task?

An administrator is configuring vSphere Lifecycle Manager to install patches to a vSphere cluster. The cluster runs workload virtual machines (VMs) that are incompatible with vSphere vMotion, and therefore cannot be live migrated between hosts during the installation of the patches.

Which configuration in vSphere Lifecycle Manager will allow the administrator to reduce the downtime associated with the patching operation without migrating the VMs?

An administrator notices a performance issue in VMvvare vCenter To try and understand more about the performance issue, the administrator needs to gather more information about the vCenter database to eliminate a potential disk space issue.

Which two tools can the administrator use? (Choose two.)

Which VMware offering will allow an administrator to manage the lifecycle of multiple vCenter Server instances in a single software as a service (SaaS)-based solution to help drive operational efficiency?

An administrator is tasked with adding two additional hosts into an existing production vSphere cluster to support the need for additional capacity.

The vSphere cluster currently has four identically configured ESXi hosts (esxOT esx02. esx03 and esx04) that utilize Intel Skylake-based CPUs. The two new hosts (esx05 and esx06) are configured identically in terms of memory and storage to the existing hosts: but utilize Intel Ice Lake-based CPUs.

The administrator must ensure that:

•Any virtual machine migrates to any of the six ESXi hosts running in the cluster.

•There is no virtual machine downtime during the process of adding the new hosts.

Which step should the administrator take to meet these requirements?

An administrator plans to bring VMware vCenter offline in order to perform hardware mainte-nance on the host where the vCenter Server Appliance is running.

Which vSphere feature must be configured to ensure that vCenter users experience minimal downtime?

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 "ever 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.)

An administrator is tasked with deploying a new on-premises software-defined data center (SDDC) that will contain a total of eight VMware vCenter instances.

The following requirements must be met:

• All vCenter instances should be visible in a single vSphere Client session.

• All vCenter inventory should be searchable from a single vSphere Client session.

• Any administrator must be able to complete operations on any vCenter instance using a single set of credentials.

What should the administrator configure to meet these requirements?

An administrator is adding a new ESXi host to an existing vSphere cluster. When selecting the cluster, the administrator Is unable to use the Cluster Quickstart workflow to add and configure the additional host.

What could be the root cause of this issue?

An administrator is tasked with configuring an appropriate Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for VMware vCenter based on the following criteria:
