Question 1

When configuring the virtual network for a VM in VMware Workstation, which network adapter option should you choose if you want the VM to be on a private network, isolated from the host and the physical network?
A)custom
B)host-only
C)NAT
D)LAN segment

Accepted Answer

The "LAN segment" option allows you to create a private network that is isolated from both the host and the physical network, making it suitable for scenarios where you want VMs to communicate only with each other.

Question 2

You have a VM that no longer boots after you installed several applications and services. Which of the following can get your VM back up and running quickly?
A)reinstall the guest OS
B)restore the system disk from a recent backup
C)reset the system BIOS
D)revert to a snapshot

Accepted Answer

Reverting to a snapshot is the quickest solution as it rolls back the virtual machine to a previous state when it was working, without having to reinstall the guest OS or restore from a backup.

Question 3

VirtualBox supports unlimited snapshots.

Accepted Answer

VirtualBox does support unlimited snapshots. This feature allows users to take a snapshot of a virtual machine at a particular point in time and revert back to that snapshot if needed.

Question 4

Which of the following is a hosted virtualization product?
A)Citrix XenServer
B)Microsoft Hyper-V
C)VirtualBox
D)VMware vSphere

Accepted Answer

VirtualBox is a hosted virtualization product, meaning it runs on top of an existing operating system, unlike bare-metal hypervisors like XenServer, Hyper-V, and vSphere.

Question 5

You have a virtual machine running on a type 1 hypervisor on Server1 and you need to move the VM to Server2 without shutting the VM down. What feature can you use?
A)network isolation
B)dynamic provisioning
C)export and import
D)live migration

Accepted Answer

Live migration allows for moving a running VM from one host to another without interruption or downtime. It is the best choice for moving the VM from Server1 to Server2 without shutting it down. Network isolation, dynamic provisioning, and export/import are not relevant in this scenario.

Question 6

What should you install in a guest OS running on VMware Workstation to optimize network, video, and disk drivers?
A)XenCenter
B)Integration Services
C)VMware Tools
D)Virtualization extensions

Accepted Answer

VMware Tools is the appropriate tool to install in a guest OS running on VMware Workstation to optimize network, video, and disk drivers. It includes drivers and utilities that enhance the guest OS performance and enable features such as copy and paste between the host and guest. XenCenter is a management tool for Xen Server. Integration Services are Microsoft's equivalent of VMware Tools but are only applicable to Hyper-V environments. Virtualization extensions refer to the CPU hardware features that enable virtualization and are enabled in the BIOS/UEFI settings of the physical host server.

Question 7

You recently bought an enterprise server that you will use for virtualization. You need to run as many as ten virtual machines with Windows Server 2012 as the guest OS. To save on licensing costs, what edition of Windows Server 2012 should you purchase?
A)Standard
B)Datacenter
C)Enterprise
D)Foundation

Accepted Answer

If you want to run at least two virtual machines, buying Standard edition and adding licenses is costlier. The Foundation edition is not suitable for virtualization, and the Enterprise edition is terminated with Windows Server 2012. Therefore, Datacenter is the best choice as it allows you to run an unlimited number of virtual machines with Windows Server 2012 as the guest OS on that particular physical server without needing to buy additional licenses.

Question 8

Which of the following is the virtual environment that emulates a physical computer's hardware and BIOS?
A)guest OS
B)VM
C)host
D)snapshot

Accepted Answer

A VM (Virtual Machine) is a virtual environment that emulates a physical computer's hardware and BIOS. The other options are not specific to this definition. A guest OS is an operating system running on the virtual environment, a host is the physical computer that's hosting the virtual environment, and a snapshot is a copy of the virtual machine's state at a certain point in time.

Question 9

Hyper-V was first introduced with Windows Server 2012.

Accepted Answer

Hyper-V was first introduced with Windows Server 2008, not Windows Server 2012.

Question 10

What is another term for a type 1 hypervisor?
A)server virtualization
B)bare-metal virtualization
C)desktop virtualization
D)hosted virtualization

Accepted Answer

A type 1 hypervisor is also known as bare-metal virtualization, which means it runs directly on the host machine's hardware, without requiring an additional operating system layer. The other options listed are either different types of virtualization or alternative names for other types of hypervisors.

Question 11

When configuring the virtual network for a VM in VMware Workstation, which network adapter option should you choose if you want the VM to have an IP address that works on the physical network?
A)bridged
B)NAT
C)host-only
D)custom

Accepted Answer

Bridged network adapter allows the VM to have its own IP address that works on the physical network. This choice will make the VM appear as if it is directly connected to the physical network, making it accessible to other devices on the network.

Question 12

When configuring the virtual network for a VM in VMware Workstation, which network adapter option should you choose if you want the VM to have an IP address assigned rom the host computer?
A)bridged
B)host-only
C)NAT
D)LAN segment

Accepted Answer

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows a VM to share the host's IP address, enabling the VM to access external networks (like the internet) while being assigned an IP address from the host computer's subnet. This configuration is useful for VMs that need internet access but do not need to be directly accessible from the external network.

Question 13

You want to try out a software package that runs on Linux and you want to run it as a VM in VMware Workstation Player. You don't want to have to install Linux and the software package, what should you do?
A)download a virtual appliance
B)find an old machine with the software installed
C)create a virtual disk and mount it
D)install the integration services

Accepted Answer

Downloading a virtual appliance is the best option in this situation. A virtual appliance is a pre-configured virtual machine that has the operating system and software already installed and configured. This saves time and effort in setting up the virtual machine and installing the software. VMware Workstation Player supports importing virtual appliances, making it easy to run the desired software package in a Linux environment without actually having to install Linux and the software package.

Question 14

You are running Windows 7 Pro and want to use a virtualization program so you can test out Windows 10 and also work with other operating systems. What should you install?
A)bare-metal virtualization software
B)a type 2 hypervisor
C)a type 1 hypervisor
D)a dual-boot configuration

Accepted Answer

A type 2 hypervisor, also known as a hosted hypervisor, can be installed on an existing operating system like Windows 7 Pro. This will allow you to run multiple operating systems, including Windows 10, as virtual machines within Windows 7. Bare-metal virtualization software (A) and type 1 hypervisors (C) are designed for use on dedicated hardware and would require additional hardware and setup. Dual-boot configuration (D) would also require additional setup and can be less efficient as it requires rebooting the computer to switch between operating systems.

Question 15

One convenience of installing a guest OS in a VM is being able to boot to the installation program with an ISO file rather than a DVD disk.

Accepted Answer

This is true. Virtual machines allow for the use of ISO files as virtual disks, making it easier to install guest operating systems without needing a physical DVD disk.

Question 16

Which of the following is NOT a typical application for hosted virtualization?
A)to use legacy applications
B)consolidation of production servers
C)network isolation
D)OS training

Accepted Answer

Hosted virtualization is typically used for running legacy applications, network isolation, and OS training, but not for consolidating production servers, which is better suited for bare-metal virtualization.

Question 17

You are running a virtual desktop infrastructure and you need VMs to be allocated automatically when a user requests one. What feature should you use?
A)network isolation
B)dynamic provisioning
C)export and import
D)live migration

Accepted Answer

Dynamic provisioning allows VMs to be automatically allocated when a user requests one, making it the best choice for this scenario. Network isolation, export and import, and live migration do not directly address the need for automatic allocation of VMs.

Question 18

Virtualization is a process that emulates an operating system.

Accepted Answer

Virtualization is a process that creates virtual versions of computing resources, such as servers, storage, and networks, not just operating systems.

Question 19

You need a suitable computer to run VirtualBox on that has enough RAM and disk space to run at least four virtual machines. Which component of virtualization are you concerned with?
A)host computer
B)hypervisor
C)guest OS
D)virtual disk

Accepted Answer

The component of virtualization that is being concerned with in this scenario is the host computer. It needs to have enough resources such as RAM and disk space to support running multiple virtual machines simultaneously. The hypervisor, guest OS, and virtual disk are all important components of virtualization as well, but in this scenario, the focus is on the host computer's capabilities.

Question 20

The VM is the part of virtualization software that creates and monitors the virtual 
hardware environment.

Accepted Answer

The VM (Virtual Machine) is the software emulation of a computer system that runs on virtualization software, but it is the hypervisor or virtual machine monitor (VMM) that creates and monitors the virtual hardware environment.
