An administrator is tasked with migrating a single virtual machine (VM) from an existing VMware vCenter to a secure environment where corporate security policy requires that all VMs be encrypted. The secure environment consists of a dedicated vCenter instance with a 4-node vSphere cluster and already contains a number of encrypted VMs. Which two steps must the administrator take to ensure the migration is a success? (Choose two.)

A.

Ensure that the source and destination vCenter instances share the same Key Management Server (KMS).

B.

Ensure that Encrypted vMotion Is turned off for the VM.

C.

Ensure that the VM is encrypted before attempting the migration.

D.

Ensure that the VM is powered off before attempting the migration.

E.

Ensure that the source and destination vCenter Servers have a different Key Management Server (KMS).

A.

Generate a combined log bundle for all ESXI hosts using the vCenter Management Interface.

B.

Generate a separate log bundle for each ESXI host using the vSphere Host Client.

C.

Generate a combined log bundle for all ESXI hosts using the vSphere Client.

D.

Generate a separate log bundle for each ESXI host using the vSphere Client.

E.

Generate a separate log bundle for each ESXI host using the vCenter Management Interface.

F.

Generate a combined log bundle for all ESXi hosts using the vSphere Host Client.

An administrator has been notified that a number of hosts are not compliant with the company policy for time synchronization.The relevant portion of the policy states:
All physical servers must synchronize time with an external time source that is accurate to the microsecond. Which step should the administrator take to ensure compliance with the policy?

A.

Ensure that each vCenter Server Appliance is configured to use a Network Time Protocol (NTP) source.

B.

Ensure that each ESXi host is configured to use a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) source.

C.

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

D.

Ensure that each vCenter Server Appliance is configured to use a Precision Time Protocol (PTP) source.

An administrator is tasked with configuring certificates for a VMware software-defined data center (SDDC) based on the following requirements:

A.

Replace the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate with a self-signed certificate generated from the

B.

Replace the machine SSL certificates with custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.

C.

Replace the machine SSL certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA).

D.

Replace the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate with a custom certificate generated from the Enterprise CA.

E.

Replace the solution user certificates wife custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA.

F.

Replace the solution user certificates with trusted certificates generated from the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA).

After a recent unexplained peak in virtual machine (VM) CPU usage, an administrator is asked to monitor the VM performance for a recurrence of the issue.
Which two tools can the administrator use? (Choose two.)

A.

vCenter Management Interface

B.

Direct Console User Interface (DCUI)

C.

vSphere Performance Charts

D.

vCenter Command Line Interface

E.

ESXi Shell

A vSphere cluster has the following configuration:

• Virtual machines (VMs) are running Production and Test workloads
• vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) is enabled
• There are no resource pools in the cluster

Performance monitoring data shows that the Production workload VMs are not receiving their fully allocated memory when the vSphere cluster is fully utilized.
A combination of which two steps could the administrator perform to ensure that the Production VMs are always guaranteed the full allocation of memory? (Choose two.)

A.

Assign a custom memory share value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

B.

Assign a memory reservation value to the resource pool containing the Production VMs.

C.

Create a parent resource pool for the Production VMs.

D.

Create a sibling resource pool for each of the Production and Test VMs.

E.

Create a child resource pool for the Test VMs.

An administrator is completing the configuration of a new vSphere cluster and has enabled vSphere High Availability (HA) and vSphere Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS).

After adding the ESXi hosts to the cluster, which networking information will the administrator be prompted to provide when using the Cluster Quickstart workflow?

A.

vMotion networking

B.

Management networking

C.

vSAN networking

D.

Virtual machine networking

An administrator remotely deploys VMware ESXi using an out of band management connection and now needs to complete the configuration of the management network so that the host is accessible through the vSphere Host Client.

The following information has been provided to complete the configuration:
•Host FQDN esxi01corp.local
•Management VLAN ID: 10 DHCP: No
•Management IP Address: 172.16.10.101/24
•Management IP Gateway: 172.16.10.1
•Corporate DNS Servers: 172 16.10.5, 172.16.10..6
•DNS Domain: corp.local

In addition, all host configurations must also meet the following requirements:
•The management network must use only IPv4 network protocols.
•The management network must be fault tolerant

Which four high level tasks should the administrator complete in the Direct Console User Interface (DCUI) in order to meet the requirements and successfully log into the vSphere Host Client? (Choose four.)

A.

Set the value of the VMware ESXi Management Network VLAN ID to 10

B.

Configure at least two network adapters for the VMware ESXi Management Network

C.

Update the VMware ESXi Management Network IPv4 configuration to use a static IPv4 address

D.

Create a DNS A Record for the VMware ESXi host on the corporate DNS servers

E.

Disable IPv6 for the VMware ESXi Management Network

F.

Restore the original Management vSphere Standard Switch.

G.

Update the VMware ESXi Management Network DNS configuration to use the corporate DNS servers for ' names resolution
