1.2 Preparation Strategy & Hands-On Lab Setup
An administrator wants routine ESX administration to pass through vCenter while restricting direct host logins. Which host feature addresses this?
Which migration type transfers a powered-on VM to a compatible host without a planned guest shutdown?
Which feature automatically balances VM workloads across hosts in a cluster by recommending or performing vMotion migrations?
A host suffers an unplanned physical failure. Which event is the normal trigger for vSphere HA to restart its protected VMs on surviving hosts?
Chapter 2: Virtualization & ESXi Host Fundamentals
2.1 Hypervisor Architecture & ESXi Operating Model
A cluster contains supported processors from different generations of the same CPU vendor. Which feature presents a common CPU feature baseline to improve live-migration compatibility?
Which vSphere networking object exists on a single ESX host and is configured per host rather than centrally?
Storage And Network Fundamentals
Which network feature is available only on a vSphere Distributed Switch and not on a standard switch?
Which adapter type provides the ESX host with IP connectivity for services such as management traffic, vMotion and vSAN?
2.2 ESXi Deployment, DCUI & Initial Host Configuration
An administrator presents a supported shared block-storage LUN to ESX hosts. Which VMware clustered file system can format that LUN as a datastore?
An administrator wants ESX to mount a NAS server export directly as a file-based datastore. Which datastore type matches this workflow?
For a standard vSAN object using FTT=1 RAID-1 mirroring, with no additional stretched-cluster site policy, what layout provides protection?
What does Storage Policy-Based Management (SPBM) allow an administrator to do?
2.3 Workload Consolidation & Private Cloud Economics
Which VMFS virtual-disk format allocates its full configured space at creation but zeroes blocks on their first write?
What is a virtual machine snapshot in vSphere?
A VMFS-backed VM retains a write-active snapshot for an extended period. Why should the administrator monitor and consolidate it promptly?
Which approach lets an administrator deploy many identical virtual machines quickly from a master image?
Chapter 3: vCenter Server & Cluster Management
3.1 vCenter Server Appliance (VCSA) Architecture & Deployment
What is the purpose of guest customization when deploying a VM from a template?
Which open packaging format is used to export and import virtual machines and appliances between vSphere environments?
An administrator wants to patch a reusable VM template while preserving a managed version history in a content library. Which workflow fits?
Which tool in current vSphere uses a desired-state image to install, update and ensure consistency of ESX hosts across a cluster?
3.2 vSphere High Availability (HA) & Admission Control
For conventional vLCM remediation that requires a host reboot, which host state is used after workloads have been evacuated?
Which vSphere HA setting controls admission of workloads so configured failover capacity remains available?
What is the function of a resource pool in a vSphere cluster?
In a resource pool or VM, what does a CPU reservation guarantee?
3.3 Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) & EVC Configuration
Which DRS automation level applies migration recommendations automatically without requiring administrator approval?
What does Storage vMotion enable an administrator to do?
HA stops receiving a host's network heartbeats but continues to observe its datastore heartbeats. What is the purpose of using both channels?
An administrator wants DRS to keep two application VMs on different hosts during normal placement and load balancing. Which rule expresses this relationship?
Chapter 4: Virtual Machine Operations & Resource Management
4.1 Virtual Machine Provisioning, Templates & Content Libraries
What is the purpose of an alarm in vCenter Server?
Which command-line utility runs on an ESX host to display real-time CPU, memory, disk and network performance for troubleshooting?
Which VMware product, included with vSphere Foundation, provides operations dashboards, capacity analytics and intelligent monitoring across the environment?
