Fault Tolerance (FT) is a feature that ensures zero data loss and uninterrupted availability of virtual machines (VMs) in the event of an unexpected failure. When FT is enabled, a secondary VM (called the "shadow" VM) is created and runs in parallel with the primary VM. The primary and shadow VMs are kept in sync, ensuring that the shadow VM is always up-to-date with the primary VM's state.
D. vSphere High Availability (HA) provides automatic restart of VMs in case of a host failure, but does not guarantee zero data loss.

C When an alert message appears in the vSphere UI related to a host's storage sensor hardware, the administrator should look for more information in the Storage Sensors section. This section provides detailed information about the storage sensors, including their status, temperature, and other relevant metrics.
The Storage Sensors section is specifically designed to provide real-time information about the host's storage hardware, making it the most relevant place to look for more information related to the alert.

Yes, in the context of vCenter Server, the event types are used to categorize and log events that occur within the virtual infrastructure.
In vCenter Server, the event types are:
A. Information: General information or events that are not errors or warnings.
B. Audit: Events related to user actions, such as login/logout, configuration changes, etc.
D. Warning: Potential problems or issues that may require attention.
C. Error: Fatal problems or errors that have occurred, and the process or operation will be terminated.
In vCenter Server, an Error event type indicates a critical issue that has caused a failure or termination, such as a host connection failure, VM powering off unexpectedly, or a critical alarm threshold being exceeded.
So, in the context of vCenter Server, the correct answer is indeed C. Error.
Question 9

B.
Look in the guest OS version drop-down menu of the VM.
C.
Snapshot the VM before performing the operating system upgrade.
D.
Check the web page of the guest operating system vendor.

A is the best answer. The VMware Compatibility Guide is the most authoritative source for checking guest OS compatibility with ESXi. It's a comprehensive and regularly updated resource that provides detailed information on supported guest operating systems, hardware, and software products.
While the other options may provide some relevant information, they are not as definitive or reliable as the VMware Compatibility Guide. For example, the guest OS version drop-down menu in the VM settings (option B) may not reflect the latest supported versions, and the vendor's website (option D) may not specifically address ESXi compatibility.
Option C, snapshotting the VM, is a good practice for backup and rollback purposes, but it doesn't directly address the question of ensuring the guest OS is supported by ESXi.
So, to ensure the selected guest OS is supported by ESXi, checking the VMware Compatibility Guide (option A) is the best course of action.
Question 10
A vSphere administrator wants to monitor the CPU usage of all virtual machines (VMs) in a specific host cluster using alarms. Which sequence of actions should the administrator use?
A.
Click on the ESXI host and add an alarm.
B.
Click on the cluster and add an alarm.
C.
Click on individual VMs and add an alarm.
D.
Click on the VMs folder and add an alarm.

Here's why:
- Resource Pools (C) allow for overcommitment of CPU and memory resources, which is essential for efficient resource utilization. - Storage I/O Control (E) allows for overcommitment of storage resources, ensuring that storage is utilized efficiently and preventing storage bottlenecks.
By enabling both Resource Pools and Storage I/O Control, you're covering both compute (CPU and memory) and storage resources, ensuring comprehensive resource overcommitment and efficient utilization.

vVOLs is a software-defined, object-based storage solution that provides shared storage for vSphere clusters without relying on traditional external storage. It enables array-based storage to be managed at the VM level, allowing for more efficient and flexible storage management.
vVOLs is a key feature in VMware's storage strategy, and it's designed to work with a variety of storage arrays and protocols, including iSCSI, NFS, and Fibre Channel.
While vSAN (B) is also a software-defined storage solution, it's specifically designed for hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) environments, where storage is aggregated from local resources. vVOLs, on the other hand, is designed to work with external storage arrays.
Question 14
A system administrator opened a technical support trouble ticket and was asked to provide the suspended virtual machine's memory contents. Which file from the virtual machine directory will the system administrator need to upload to technical support?

vm.vmss
C.
vm.vmx
D.
vm.log

The correct answer is B. vm.vmss.
When a virtual machine is suspended, its memory contents are saved to a file called vm.vmss (Virtual Machine Suspended State) in the virtual machine's directory. This file contains the exact state of the virtual machine's memory at the time of suspension.
The vm.vmss file is used to preserve the state of the virtual machine, allowing it to be resumed from the exact same point when it is restarted.
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
A. vm.vmdk is the virtual disk file, which contains the virtual machine's disk data.
C. vm.vmx is the virtual machine configuration file, which contains settings and configuration information for the virtual machine.
D. vm.log is a log file that contains information about virtual machine events and errors, but it does not contain the memory contents.
By uploading the vm.vmss file, the system administrator can provide technical support with the necessary information to troubleshoot issues related to the suspen
Question 15
Which feature allows an administrator to implement master copies of virtual machines to create ready-for-use virtual machines?
