NEW QUESTION 2
A vSphere Replication user needs to connect a source site to a target site. What privilege is needed at both sites?

• A. VRM remote.Manage VRM
• B. VRM datastore mapper.Manage
• C. Host.vSphere Replication.Manage replication
• D. Virtual machine.vSphere Replication.Manage replication

Answer: A

Explanation: When connecting sites, users at both sites must have VRM remote.Manage VRM privilege. When you connect sites that are part of the same SSO, you need to select the target site only without providing authentication details, as you are already logged in. After connecting the sites, you can monitor the connectivity state between them at Target Sites tab.

NEW QUESTION 4
An administrator is performing a silent automatic update of VMware Tools on a Windows virtual machine.
What syntax needs to be entered into the Advanced Options box?

• A. /s /v "/qn" /l "c:Windowsfilename.log"
• B. --prefix=/usr/local,/usr/lib,/usr/doc --silent
• C. --prefix=c:Windows,c:VMtools --silent
• D. /fs /v "/qn+" /l "c:Windowsfilename.log"

Answer: A

Explanation: One way to determine the component values to use is to run the interactive VMware Tools installer with full logging turned on, select the components that you want installed, and then search the log files for the ADDLOCAL and REMOVE properties. The log files show the names used by the program.

NEW QUESTION 9
Which two tasks does the Pluggable Storage Architecture (PSA) perform? (Choose two.)

• A. Handles I/O queueing to the logical devices.
• B. Handles physical path discovery, but is not involved in the removal.
• C. Handles physical path discovery and removal.
• D. Handles I/O queueing to FC storage HBAs.

Answer: AC

Explanation: When coordinating the VMware NMP and any installed third-party MPPs, the PSA performs the following tasks:
✑ Loads and unloads multipathing plug-ins.
✑ Hides virtual machine specifics from a particular plug-in.
✑ Routes I/O requests for a specific logical device to the MPP managing that device.
✑ Handles I/O queueing to the logical devices.
✑ Implements logical device bandwidth sharing between virtual machines.
✑ Handles I/O queueing to the physical storage HBAs.
✑ Handles physical path discovery and removal.
✑ Provides logical device and physical path I/O statistics.

NEW QUESTION 10
An administrator needs to create an Integrated Windows Authentication (IWA) Identity Source on a newly deployed vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA).
Which two actions will accomplish this? (Choose two.)

• A. Use a Service Principal Name (SPN) to configure the Identity Source.
• B. Use a Domain administrator to configure the Identity Source.
• C. Join the VCSA to Active Directory and configure the Identity Source with a Machine Account.
• D. Create a computer account in Active Directory for the VCSA and configure the Identity Source.

Answer: AC

Explanation: Using a machine account when configuring an Active Directory identity source for vCenter Server requires that the Windows system be joined to the domain. If the system is not joined to the domain, SSO cannot leverage the machine account to create the identity source and perform its function as the secure token service user.
To resolve this issue in VCVA 5.5, use only the Use SPN option.

NEW QUESTION 11
Vmware vSphere Replication protects virtual machines from partial or complete site failures by replicating the virtual machines between which three sites? (Choose three.)

• A. From a source site to a target site.
• B. From within a single site from one cluster to another.
• C. From multiple source sites to a shared remote target site.
• D. From a single source site to multiple remote target sites.
• E. From multiple source sites to multiple remote target sites.

Answer: ABC

Explanation: vSphere Replication replaces storage-based replication. It protects virtual machines from partial or complete site failures by replicating the virtual machines from a primary site to a secondary site.

NEW QUESTION 13
What is the maximum number of snapshot instances in vSphere Replication that can be configured to recover a virtual machine at a specific point in time?

• A. 16
• B. 24
• C. 48
• D. 72

Answer: B

Explanation: When you configure replication of a virtual machine, you can enable multiple point in time (PIT) instances in the recovery settings in the Configure Replication wizard. vSphere Replication retains a number of snapshot instances of the virtual machine on the target site based on the retention policy that you specify. vSphere Replication supports maximum of 24 snapshot instances. After you recover a virtual machine, you can revert it to a specific snapshot.

Topic 7, Troubleshoot a vSphere Deployment

NEW QUESTION 14
An administrator is upgrading an ESXi 5.5 host to ESXi 6.x and gets the following error: MEMORY_SIZE
What does this indicate?

• A. Insufficient memory on the ESXi host to complete the upgrade.
• B. Insufficient memory for Auto Deploy to complete the upgrade.
• C. Insufficient memory in vCenter Server to complete the upgrade.
• D. Insufficient memory for Update Manager to complete the upgrade.

Answer: A

Explanation: When you install less than 4GB of memory, Memory_Size error occurs because ESXi host requires at least 4 GB of memory.

NEW QUESTION 15
When operating with Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) and Distributed Power Management (DPM), what two statements explain the impact of disabling vSphere High Availability admission control? (Choose two.)

• A. VMware DPM does not place hosts in standby mode if doing so would violate failover requirements.
• B. DRS does not evacuate virtual machines from a host for the purpose of placing it in maintenance or standby modes if placing the host in this state would violate failover requirements.
• C. DRS will evacuate virtual machines from hosts and places hosts in maintenance or standby modes regardless of the impact this might have on failover requirements.
• D. VMware DPM will place hosts in standby mode even if doing so violates failover requirements.

Answer: CD

NEW QUESTION 16
Which two statements are true regarding iSCSI adapters? (Choose two.)

• A. Software iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.
• B. Independent Hardware iSCSI adapters offload processing from the ESXi host.
• C. Dependent Hardware iSCSI adapters do not require vmkernel networking.
• D. Independent Hardware iSCSI adapters require vmkernel networking.

Answer: AB

Explanation: An independent hardware iSCSI adapter is a specialized third-party adapter capable of accessing iSCSI storage over TCP/IP. This iSCSI adapter handles all iSCSI and network processing and management for your ESXi system.
Software and dependent hardware iSCSI adapters depend on VMkernel networking. If you use the software or dependent hardware iSCSI adapters, you must configure connections for the traffic between the iSCSI component and the physical network adapters.
