NEW QUESTION 2

A security officer has issued a new directive that users will no longer have access to change connected network adapters to limit denial of service on a virtual machine.
Which two correct virtual machine advanced configuration parameters will accomplish this7 (Choose two.)

• A. isolation.device.connectable.disable = "TRUE"
• B. isolation.de.ice.edit.disable - "FALSE"
• C. isolation.device.connectable.disable = "FALSE"
• D. isolation.device.edit.disable = “TRUE”

Answer: AD

Explanation:
Prevent a Virtual Machine User or Process from Disconnecting Devices in the vSphere Web ClientUsers and processes without root or administrator privileges within virtual machines have the capability to connect or disconnect devices, such as network adaptors and CD-ROM drives, as well as the ability to modify device settings. To increase virtual machine security, remove these devices. If you do not want to permanently remove a device, you can prevent a virtual machine user or process from connecting or disconnecting the device from within the guest operating system.

What counter should an administrator check to determine if a virtual machine is ballooning?

• A. swapinRate
• B. vmmemctl
• C. vmmemctltarget
• D. swapped

Answer: B

Explanation:
Memory Ballooning is the memory reclamation technique used by hypervisor to reclaim the memory back from the virtual machine.
When ESXi host running low on physical memory, It uses ballooning driver (vmmemctl.sys) to determine the how much memory from virtual machines can be get back to prevent the hypervisor swapping.

• C. The vMotion will fail.
• D. The swap file is replicated to a datastore accessible by both hosts.

Answer: A

Explanation:

If the destination host cannot access the specified swap file location, it stores the swap file with the virtual machine configuration file.

In vCenter Server 6.5, which two host states can be configured as remediation steps with Proactive HA? (Choose two.)

• A. Maintenance mode
• B. Disconnected
• C. Powered off
• D. Standby mode
• E. Quarantine mode

Answer: AE

Explanation:
Proactive HA Failures
A Proactive HA failure occurs when a host component fails, which results in a loss of redundancy or a noncatastrophic failure. However, the functional behavior of the VMs residing on the host is not yet affected.
For example, if a power supply on the host fails, but other power supplies are available, that is a Proactive HA failure.
If a Proactive HA failure occurs, you can automate the remediation action taken in the vSphere Availability section of the vSphere Web Client. The VMs on the affected host can be evacuated to other hosts and the host is either placed in Quarantine mode or Maintenance mode.

NEW QUESTION 24

A vSphere administrator upgraded vCenter Server (VC) from version 5.5 to 6.5. Existing VMFS5 datastores consumption is 75% full. All of the ESXi hosts have been upgraded to version 6.5. Existing datastores have not yet been upgraded.
Which is VMware’s recommended approach to upgrading each VMFS5 datastore to VMFS6?

• A. The option to upgrade datastores to VMFS6 is only available during the ESXi host upgrade process.
• B. Log on one ESXi host at a time using vSphere 6.5 Windows Clien
• C. Navigate to the datastores view.Right-click on the VMFS5 datastore, and then select upgrade to VMFS6.
• D. Log on to VC using vSphere 6.5 Web Clien
• E. Navigate to the datastores vie
• F. Right-click on the VMFS5 datastore, and then select upgrade to VMFS6.
• G. Log on to VC using vSphere 6.5 Web Clien
• H. Create a VMFS6 datastore on a new LU
• I. Use storage vMotion to migrate the data to the new datastore.

Answer: D

Explanation:
Perform version check for the vCenter Server and all ESX hosts.
Note: All ESXi hosts and vCenter Server must be of vSphere 6.5. Do not proceed if any one of ESXi hosts is not vSphere 6.5. Proceeding further means business continuity loss and the new datastore is not visible in old ESX hosts.
Perform all pre checks for free space availability on datastore DS-2. Available space on DS-2 must be equal or more than the datastore DS-1 space.
Ensure that the datastore DS-2 is VMFS 6 type.
Prepare list of all virtual machines in the vCenter Server’s inventory that are hosted on datastore DS-1. Evacuate the datastore DS-1. For this, migrate all the virtual machines running from datastore DS-1 to
datastore DS-2. Storage vMotion operations are performed on these virtual machines.
Perform one migration at a time to avoid disrupting the performance of remaining datacenter entities. Keep track of any migration failures, if any, re-trigger the migration for those virtual machines.
Ensure that datastore DS-1 is empty by listing files on this datastore. Note: Proceed further only if datastore DS-1 is empty.
Unmount datastore DS-1 from all ESX hosts. Delete datastore DS-1.
Create a new datastore with the VMFS 6 filesystem using the same lun. For example, DS-1.
Trigger a storage rescan operation on all hosts and wait for few minutes for this operation to complete.
Move all virtual machines back to datastore DS-1 from datastore DS-2 by performing storage vMotion operation. It is suggested to migrate one virtual machine at a time. Keep track of any migration failures, if any, re-trigger migration for those virtual machines.
