During the staging of a patch on a vCenter Server Appliance, an error was encountered and the
process stopped. An administrator resolved the root cause and is ready to continue with the staging
of the patch.
From the vCenter Management Interface, which action should the administrator take to continue the
process from the point at which the error occurred?
B
Explanation:docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.upgrade.doc/GUID-FF533442-66F0-4797-976D-1DA99102DD0A.html
An administrator is adding a new ESXi host to an existing vSphere cluster. When selecting the cluster,
the administrator Is unable to use the Cluster Quickstart workflow to add and configure the
additional host.
What could be the root cause of this issue?
A
Explanation:
Option A is correct because it indicates that the administrator has previously dismissed the Cluster
Quickstart workflow, which will prevent them from using it to add and configure an additional host.
To use the Cluster Quickstart workflow again, the administrator must enable it in the cluster settings.
Option B is incorrect because the administrator does not need to manually add the host to the
cluster before using the Cluster Quickstart workflow, as this is one of the steps in the workflow.
Option C is incorrect because the administrator does not need any special permissions to use the
Cluster Quickstart workflow, as long as they have permissions to perform cluster operations. Option
D is incorrect because there is no option to enable the Cluster Quickstart workflow in VMware
vCenter, as this is a feature of vSphere clusters. Reference:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.vcenterhost.doc/GUID-9F9E3F8C-0E2B-4B6A-8C5C-3F8E5F6B4E9D.html
A company has two sites: Site A and Site B. The administrator would like to manage the VMware
vCenter inventories in both sites from a single vSphere Client session.
Which vCenter feature must be configured?
D
Explanation:
Option D is correct because it indicates that Enhanced Linked Mode must be configured to allow the
administrator to manage the VMware vCenter inventories in both sites from a single vSphere Client
session. Enhanced Linked Mode allows multiple vCenter Server instances to share information such
as tags, licenses, roles, permissions, and policies. Option A is incorrect because VMware Certificate
Authority is a service that provides certificates for vSphere components and does not affect
inventory management. Option B is incorrect because VMware Site Recovery Manager is a solution
that provides disaster recovery and business continuity for vSphere environments and does not
affect inventory management. Option C is incorrect because vCenter Single Sign-On is a service that
provides authentication and authorization for vSphere components and does not affect inventory
management. Reference:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vcenter.install.doc/GUID-9F9E3F8C-0E2B-4B6A-8C5C-3F8E5F6B4E9D.html
An administrator plans to update the Supervisor cluster and has noticed some of the Tanzu
Kubemetes Grid clusters are running an incompatible version.
Which action must the administrator take before proceeding with the Supervisor cluster update?
D
Explanation:
Option D is correct because it indicates that the administrator must update incompatible Tanzu
Kubernetes Grid clusters prior to the Supervisor cluster update, as this will ensure that there are no
compatibility issues or disruptions during or after the update process. Option A is incorrect because
it is not necessary to update all Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters to the latest version prior to the
Supervisor cluster update, as some clusters may already be compatible with the new version. Option
B is incorrect because Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters will not be updated automatically as part of the
update process, as they require manual intervention from the administrator. Option C is incorrect
because incompatible Tanzu Kubernetes Grid clusters cannot be manually updated after the
Supervisor cluster update, as they may become inaccessible or unstable due to compatibility issues.

Which three vSphere features are still supported for Windows-based virtual machines when enabling
vSphere's -virtualization-based security feature? (Choose three.)
ACE
Explanation:
Option A, C and E are correct because they indicate that vSphere features such as vMotion, High
Availability (HA) and Distributed Resource Scheduler (DRS) are still supported for Windows-based
virtual machines when enabling vSphere’s virtualization-based security feature, which provides
enhanced protection for guest operating systems and applications against various attacks. Option B is
incorrect because PCI passthrough is not supported for Windows-based virtual machines when
enabling vSphere’s virtualization-based security feature, as this feature requires direct access to
physical devices that cannot be shared or protected by hypervisor mechanisms. Option D is incorrect
because Fault Tolerance is not supported for Windows-based virtual machines when enabling
vSphere’s virtualization-based security feature, as this feature requires identical execution states for
primary and secondary virtual machines that cannot be guaranteed by hypervisor mechanisms.
Option F is incorrect because Hot Add of CPU or memory is not supported for Windows-based virtual
machines when enabling vSphere’s virtualization-based security feature, as this feature requires
dynamic changes to virtual hardware configuration that cannot be handled by hypervisor
mechanisms. Reference:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphere/7.0/com.vmware.vsphere.security.doc/GUID-A2A4371A-B888-404C-B23F-C422A8C40F54.html
An administrator wants to create virtual machine (VM) templates and store them in a content library.
The administrator would like to use the content library to manage different versions of these
templates so that reverting to an earlier version is an option.
How should the administrator create these templates?
A
Explanation:
Option A is correct because it allows the administrator to clone a VM to the content library as a VM
template type, which can be used to create and manage different versions of these templates in the
content library. Option B is incorrect because it requires the administrator to convert a VM to a
template in the vCenter inventory first, which is an extra step. Option C is incorrect because it
requires the administrator to export a VM to an OVF template and import it into the content library,
which are extra steps. Option D is incorrect because it requires the administrator to convert a VM to a
template in the vCenter inventory and clone it to the content library, which are extra steps.

An administrator is tasked with configuring certificates for a VMware software-defined data center
(SDDC) based on the following requirements:
• All certificates should use certificates trusted by the Enterprise Certificate Authority (CA).
• The solution should minimize the ongoing management overhead of replacing certificates.
Which three actions should the administrator take to ensure that the solution meets corporate
policy? (Choose three.)
BDE
Explanation:
Option B, D and E are correct because they allow the administrator to replace the machine SSL
certificates, the VMware Certificate Authority (VMCA) certificate and the solution user certificates
with custom certificates generated from the Enterprise CA, which will ensure that all certificates are
trusted by the Enterprise CA and minimize the ongoing management overhead of replacing
certificates. Option A is incorrect because replacing the VMCA certificate with a self-signed
certificate generated from the VMCA will not ensure that the certificate is trusted by the Enterprise
CA. Option C is incorrect because replacing the machine SSL certificates with trusted certificates
generated from the VMCA will not ensure that the certificates are trusted by the Enterprise CA.
Option F is incorrect because replacing the solution user certificates with trusted certificates
generated from the VMCA will not ensure that the certificates are trusted by the Enterprise CA.

An administrator is tasked with moving an application and guest operating system (OS) running on
top of a physical server to a software-defined data center (SDDC) in a remote secure location.
The following constraints apply:
• The remote secure location has no network connectivity to the outside world.
• The business owner is not concerned if all changes in the application make it to the SDDC in the
secure location.
• The application's data is hosted in a database with a high number of transactions.
What could the administrator do to create an image of the guest OS and application that can be
moved to this remote data center?
B
Explanation:
Option B is correct because it allows the administrator to create a cold clone of the physical server
using VMware vCenter Converter, which will create an image of the guest OS and application that
can be moved to this remote data center without requiring network connectivity or affecting the
application’s data. Option A is incorrect because creating a hot clone of the physical server using
VMware vCenter Converter will require network connectivity and may affect the application’s data
due to changes during conversion. Option C is incorrect because restoring the guest OS from a
backup will require network connectivity and may not include the latest changes in the application.
Option D is incorrect because using storage replication to replicate the guest OS and application will
require network connectivity and may not be feasible for a physical server. Reference:
https://docs.vmware.com/en/vCenter-Converter-Standalone/6.2/com.vmware.convsa.guide/GUID-9F9E3F8C-0E2B-4B6A-8C5C-3F8E5F6B4E9D.html
An administrator is tasked with configuring an appropriate Single Sign-On (SSO) solution for VMware
vCenter based on the following criteria:
• The solution should support the creation of Enhanced Link Mode groups.
• All user accounts are stored within a single Active Directory domain and the solution must support
only this Active Directory domain as the identity source.
• All user account password and account lockout policies must be managed within the Active
Directory domain.
• The solution should support token-based authentication.
Which SSO solution should the administrator choose based on the criteria?
A
Explanation:
„ In vCenter Server Identity Provider Federation, vCenter Server uses the OpenID Connect (OIDC)
protocol to receive an identity token that authenticates the user with vCenter Server.“ Integrated
Windows Authentication is deprecated since vSphere 7.0

An administrator is tasked with looking into the disaster recovery options for protecting a database
server using VMware vSphere Replication.
The following requirements must be met:
• The virtual machine must remain online during the protection.
• The virtual machine's snapshots must be used as part of the replication process.
Which step must the administrator complete to accomplish this task?
C
