Question 1

What is the maximum number of virtual CPUs per virtual machine?
A)2
B)4
C)6
D)8

Accepted Answer

The maximum virtual CPUs per virtual machine is 8. This is dependent on the licensed version of vSphere. It is not sensible to deploy a virtual machine with multiple CPUs (Virtual SMP) unless the applications and operating system deployed are multi processor aware.

Question 2

What is the maximum amount of RAM that can be assigned to a virtual machine?
A)8 GB
B)16 GB
C)255 GB
D)256 GB

Accepted Answer

The maximum amount of RAM that can be assigned to a virtual machine is 255 GB. This amount of RAM can be configured even if the host does not have 255 GB of free RAM. Keep in mind that when the virtual machine is powered on, it will create a 255GB swap file.

Question 3

What is the maximum number of Virtual SCSI adapters per virtual machine?
A)4
B)2
C)6

Accepted Answer

The maximum number of Virtual SCSI adapters per virtual machine is 4. There can be a maximum number of 15 targets per Virtual SCSI adapter, giving a total of 60 Virtual SCSI targets per virtual machine.

Question 4

What is the maximum size of a virtual disk that can be presented to a virtual machine?
A)2 TB
B)2 TB minus 64 kB
C)2 TB minus 512 bytes
D)64 GB

Accepted Answer

The maximum size of a virtual disk that can be presented to a virtual machine is 2 TB minus 512 bytes. Should a volume greater than this be required, operating system storage tools could be used to attach SAN-based storage.

LSI Logic SAS controllers are only supported on virtual machines with version 7 hardware. VMware Paravirtual controllers also are only supported on version 7 hardware.

Question 8

Which task listed below is supported on a template without first converting back to a virtual machine?
A)Adding a network card
B)Increasing the memory
C)Increase the CPU count
D)Renaming the template

Accepted Answer

The only task that can be performed on a template is renaming it; every other action requires it to first be converted to a virtual machine. Templates facilitate the rapid provisioning of virtual machines with repeatable configurations.

Question 9

Which of the following are true statements? Select two.
A)VMware tools can be manually updated.
B)VMware tools are automatically updated if a virtual machine is moved to a host with a higher version of tools installed.
C)VMware tools can be update for Windows-based guests only.
D)Virtual machines must be powered on in order for VMware tools to be updated.

Accepted Answer

There are several ways in which VMware tools can be updated; they can be updated manually or by using Update Manager. In order for a virtual machine to update VMware tools, the virtual machines must be powered on as the installation process interacts with the guest operating system to install and update drivers.

Question 10

What is the VMware-provided tool that allows you to find, analyze and convert physical systems into virtual machines?
A)VMware Converter Standalone
B)VMware vCenter Guided Consolidation
C)VMware vCenter Converter
D)VMware Update Manager

Accepted Answer

VMware vCenter Guided Consolidation enables you to convert physical systems to virtual machines and import them into vSphere. It is recommended for smaller IT environments.

Question 11

How many systems can be concurrently analyzed by Vmware Guided Consolidation?
A)60
B)100
C)10
D)1000

Accepted Answer

VMware Guided Consolidation can analyze up to 100 potential targets for conversion concurrently. After adding a system for analysis, it can take up to one hour before the status of the newly added system changes from "Collecting System Information" to "Analyzing."

Question 12

Potential targets for consolidation can only be added by the find process when using VMware Guided Consolidation.

Accepted Answer

Potential targets for consolidation can be added by the find process when using VMware Guided Consolidation, or they can be added manually. To manually add systems to analyze, you can specify the host name, IP address or a range of IP addresses; alternatively, you can specify a file that contains this information.

Question 13

Which of the following statements correctly describes the confidence metric when referring to VMware Guided Consolidation?
A)The confidence metric refers to the number of hosts that can host virtual machines.
B)The confidence metric refers to the reliability of the recommendation, and it is a function of the duration of the analysis.
C)Shorter analysis periods have a higher metric than longer periods of analysis.
D)It is better to analyze a virtual machine for one week and no longer.

Accepted Answer

The confidence metric refers to the reliability of the recommendation and is a function of the duration of the analysis. The longer a period of analysis, the higher the confidence metric will be. One month is considered a suitable amount of time to analyze potential targets; however, for an even higher accuracy a complete business cycle is preferred.

Question 14

Samantha, a junior VMware administrator, is trying to remove a virtual floppy device from the bios of a virtual machine. She is unable to enter the bios screen, as she cannot press the F2 key quickly enough to enter the bios. How could Samantha ensure that she can access the bios settings?
A)She could edit the advanced configuration parameters of the host and enable the das.enter.bios option with a value of True.
B)She could remove the virtual network card; this would force the machine into the bios due to the error state.
C)She could edit the virtual machine options and select the option to force the virtual machine into the bios at the next boot.

Accepted Answer

The option to enter the virtual machine bios is difficult to enter, as the option is only visible for a brief moment. To ensure you enter the bios at virtual machine boot, you can select the option to do so in the virtual machine options. After the virtual machine has entered the bios the option is no longer present; at the next reboot the virtual machine will not enter the bios.

Question 15

Tom, a VMware administrator, is deploying a Windows Server 2003 virtual machine from a template using VMware Converter Standalone. He is unable to customize guest preferences for the virtual machine. What is a possible cause of this?
A)Tom does not have the customize virtual machine guest preference permission.
B)The Sysreconfig files are not present on Tom's machine.
C)The Sysprep files are not present on Tom's machine.
D)The Sysconfig files are not present on Tom's machine.

Accepted Answer

Tom is probably unable to configure guest preferences because the Sysprep files are not present on his virtual machine. The Sysprep files are required to reconfigure windows guests with the exception of Windows server 2008; server 2008 Sysprep tools are built into the operating system.

Question 16

Which of the following hardware devices can be added to a running virtual machine? Select two.
A)Ethernet adapter
B)SCSI device
C)Hard disk
D)Floppy drive
E)Serial port

Accepted Answer

Hard disks and Ethernet adapters can be added to a running virtual machine. In addition to this you can add USB controllers. CPU and memory can be added only if the hot-add facility is enabled; however, only specific operating systems can take advantage of hot-added devices without a reboot.

Question 17

The virtual machine swap file can only be stored on shared storage. This is required for the advanced features of vSphere.

Accepted Answer

A virtual machine swap file can be located on either local ESX storage or on shared storage. Either way, the virtual machine can take advantage of vSphere advanced features such as HA and DRS. If the virtual machine has its swap file located on the ESX host, then the swap file will have to be copied to the new ESX host as part of a vMotion migration activity.

Question 18

James, an infrastructure engineer, has been tasked with changing a virtual machine's disk type from thin to thick. Select the correct way to achieve this.
A)Edit virtual machine advanced options and change the disk.type.provision option from Thick to Thin.
B)Power off the virtual machine and vMotion it to a different ESX host.
C)Leave the virtual machine powered on and Storage vMotion it to a different location, setting the new disk format as thick.

Accepted Answer

One way to change a disk type from thin to thick is to Storage vMotion it to a different location, selecting the new disk format as thick. Alternatively you could right-click the virtual machine disk file and select Inflate.

Question 19

James, an infrastructure engineer, has created a virtual machine with 8 virtual CPUs. However, when he attempts to power it on to install a guest operating system, he is unable to do so. Select two possible causes for this.
A)James does not have the permission to create multi-CPU virtual machines.
B)The ESX host does not have 8 logical CPU's
C)The ESX host is licensed with the Enterprise license.
D)The virtual machine's operating system does not support 8 CPUs.

Accepted Answer

James is unable to power on the virtual machine for two reasons; the ESX host does not have 8 logical CPUs, and the host is licensed for the Enterprise feature set, and this only supports 4 virtual CPUs. In order for James to power the machine on he would have to move it to a host with at least 8 logical cores and use the Enterprise Plus license.

Question 20

Where in a virtual machine's options would you find the section that allows you to change the guest operating system type?
A)General Options
B)vApp Options
C)Advanced

Accepted Answer

The option to change the guest operating system type can be found in the General Options section of a virtual machine's options. Advanced options include CPU hot-add, NPIV and SWAP file location. vApp Options allows you to enable or disable vApp functionality.
