Your customer has a vSphere 5.5 environment where all hosts are correctly config
ured with vSphere Standard Edition. They have a virtual machine running from the
local storage of one of the hosts that they want to live migrate to shared stor
age using enhanced vMotion. When they select the migrate option in the vSphere C
lient they notice that they are not presented with an option that will allow the
m to vMotion the machine, but they can use Storage vMotion. Why are they unable
to use enhanced vMotion to migrate the VM and its storage at the same time? Choo
se one.
A: 3
Enhanced vMotion migration requires an Enterprise License
Enhanced vMotion migration requires an Enterprise Plus License
Enhanced vMotion is only available as an option in the vSphere Web client
They have not configured the cluster for Enhanced VMotion Compatibility
You have proposed a solution for a customer to extend an existing vSphere clust
er that supports HA and DRS where all virtual machines run Windows 2008. The ex
isting cluster uses Intel Xeon X5650 CPUs, and you have specified the same CPUs
for the new hosts in your proposal. The customer has challenged your design, in
dicating that they believe there are more cost effective hosts available that us
e AMD CPUs. What major impact would choosing the AMD based hosts have? Choose on
e.
A: 1
vMotion, and fully automated DRS, would no longer work between all hosts
HA could not be used as VMs might crash if restarted on the new hosts
DRS could only continue to be used if it is reconfigured to use Cold Migration
The customer would have to create an EVC DRS cluster to support both host types
Your customer reports that several virtual machines are performing slower than
expected. When you investigate the issue, you find that each virtual machine has
multiple active snapshots. You also find that the amount of available storage s
pace on the datastore where the virtual machines are located is very low. What
recommendations would you give to your customer with regards to using snapshots?
Choose two.
A: 14
Snapshots should not be used for a long period of time on production systems
Snapshots can only be supported in conjunction with full virtual machine backups
Use Storage vMotion to convert the virtual machine disk files to thin provision
ed disks
Check that the vSphere datastore alarm is set to a value above 30% and that it i
s working

to the virtual machine to resolve this without shutting the machine down, but c
annot. Which of the following are possible reasons? Choose two.

ned format to thin provisioned format during the migration phase? Choose one.
A: 4??

Your customer is investigating DR solutions for their vSphere production enviro
nment where they use DRS, HA and vMotion extensively. They have found that the c
ost estimates for storage solutions that can support hardware replication from t
heir existing site is prohibitive. You are considering proposing a vSphere Repli
cation as a solution for them but you must ensure that their environment can sup
port it. Which of the following items must you check in order to be confident th

You customer has asked you to present your design for a vSphere cluster to suppo
rt their production environment. When they examine the design, they notice that
you have specified a total amount of physical RAM lower than the total amount of
RAM they have specified for the virtual machines that the cluster will be requi
red to support. They are concerned that the solution will be unable to support t

Your customer has an application solution that runs 4 virtual machines. They nee
d to replicate this solution repeatedly over a period of time into a number of s
eparate production instances. What deployment method would you recommend to your
customer as being the most suitable for their needs? Choose one.
A: 1 Power off the virtual machines and convert them to 4 templates. These 4 t
emplates should be used to deploy 4 new virtual machines when required.
When a new instance of the solution is required the 4 new virtual machines shoul
d be cloned from the original application solution virtual machines.
Convert the 4 virtual machines to a single template. When a new instance of the
application solution is required deploy the virtual machines using this template
.
Make multiple clones of the running virtual machines and copy them to secondary
storage until they are required. Migrate the clones to production as required.
During the design phase of a solution, your customer has specified that two v
irtual machines which are part of an application cluster must be configured with
virtual network interface cards that will deliver the best performance for netw
ork communication between them. The customer has specified that the virtual mac
hines can run on the same vSphere ESXi host, but for network architectural reaso
ns cannot be connected to the same virtual switch. Which adapter would you recom
mend? Choose one.
A: 2
Flexible
VMXNET3
E1000
It does not matter as the virtual machines will be located on the same host.
Your customer s existing backup solution can backup virtual machines but it can on
ly perform full backups. They are interested in using the vSphere Data Protectio
n appliance to replace their existing VM backup solution, but would like to kno
w more information regarding its benefits. Which of the following are benefits o
f using VDP? Choose two.
A: 23
VDP uses vSphere replication to recover virtual machines and files from another
vCenter Server
VDP uses changed block tracking to minimize the amount of data to process for ea
ch backup
VDP does not require additional management software
VDP can only restore files for powered on virtual machines
You are trying to hot-add an IDE disk to a running virtual machine; however the
option is greyed out. What could be the possible cause for this? Choose one.
A: 2

The virtual machine s guest operating system does not support hot adding hardware
It is not possible to hot-add IDE disks to a running virtual machine The virtua
l machine is does not have VMware Tools installed
The vSphere host does not have any unassigned physical IDE disks

You are discussing the use of virtual machine templates for deployment with a c
ustomer. The customer is unsure of the differences between the templates and clo
nes and does not understand why they should create templates at all. Which of th
e following examples would you use to demonstrate the difference between them? C
hoose two.
A: 12
Templates can t be edited or powered on and so are ideally suited for consistently
deploying large numbers of identically configured virtual machines
Clones are exact copies of virtual machines at the time of cloning and so are be
st suited for quickly creating test and development copies of virtual machines.
Clones include all snapshots that are active on a virtual machine so you must us
e clones if you want to make a copy of virtual machine snapshots
Templates are extremely portable and can be used to export and transport fully c
onfigured virtual machines outside of your vSphere environment

later
The customer must be using the Windows installable version of vCenter Server 5.5
The VDP appliance must be installed on an ESX 4.x or 5.x host
The VDP appliance must be installed on an ESX 5.0 or ESX 5.1 host
