Question: When configuring a virtual machine, what is the maximum number of vNIC
s that can be allocated?
Incorrect response(s):
8
Explanation: vSphere uses virtual machine hardware version 7. This version uses
an Intel 440BX chipset with 32 PCIe root ports. If the guest OS recognizes PCIe,
then up to 10 virtual network adapters can be installed.
Question: Which statement is true about Stacked Graphs?
Incorrect response(s):
All metrics are available for Stacked graphs.
Explanation: Stacked Graphs are used for comparative purposes. When creating a s
tacked graph, only a single metric is allowed.
Question: Which two users are assigned the Administrator role at the ESX Server
level by default?
Incorrect response(s):
root, vpxa
Explanation: root is given this role by default. If the ESX Server is managed by
vCenter Server, the vpxuser account is created and assigned this role as well.
vpxa is the name of the vCenter Server agent on the ESX Server.
Question: The proportional share mechanism is invoked whenever:
Incorrect response(s):
the sum of reservations exceeds the physical resources
Explanation: When a virtual machine is powered on, the VMkernel checks to see if
there are physical resources available to meet any reservations. If there are i
nsufficent resources the virtual machine will not power on, making the condition
in this answer impossible.
Question: Which of the following conditions will produce a warning message but W
ILL allow a VMotion migration to proceed?
Incorrect response(s):
A Virtual Machine is in an MSCS Cluster relationship with another virtual machin
e
Explanation: Virtual Machines configured to use MSCS cannot be VMotion migrated.
Question: Which of the following is a true statement about transparent memory pa
ge sharing?
Incorrect response(s):
It will not share more than 65% of a VMs memory.
Explanation: Transparent memory page sharing is performed by the ESX Host and is
transparent to the virtual machine, therefore a limit at the virtual machine le
vel would be ineffective.
Question: VMware HA provides which of the following?
Incorrect response(s):
Zero downtime for virtual machines
Explanation: When an ESX host fails, VMware HA restarts the virtual machines on
surviving ESX Hosts in the same cluster. The virtual machine experiences downtim
e from the time the ESX Server goes down until the VM is restarted.
Question: An administrator is configuring a vNetwork Standard Switch for load ba
lancing. The physical network is configured for switch-assisted load balancing u
sing EtherChannel. Which ESX load-balancing policy must be used to support this
configuration?

Question: You are running into disk contention problems on a VMFS datastore. Whi
ch two actions should you take to solve this problem (Choose Two)?
Incorrect response(s):
Adjust disk shares for each ESX Server accessing this datastore.
Explanation: Disk shares are set at the virtual machine level and can be used to
prioritize access to the datastore. However, if contention is severe enough som
e virtual machines may need to be moved to an alternate datastore.
Move some of the virtual machines from this VMFS datastore to another datastore
on a different LUN.
Note: This response is either incorrect, or additional responses may be required
to receive a 100% score for this question.
Question: When the guest OS of a virtual machine requires all of the VM's memory
, which of the following formulas defines the amount of memory that will always
be composed of disk pages?
Incorrect response(s):
Memory limit memory reservation
Explanation: Memory reservations are always composed using physical memory pages
. Removing this amount from the memory limit leaves the amount of memory that mi
ght use disk pages, but will still use physical memory pages if they are availab
le.
Question: CPU Ready Time measures the amount of time that:
Incorrect response(s):
an ESX server s CPUs were idle (ready for work).
Explanation: CPU Ready Time measures the amount of time a VM was ready to do wor
k but was unable to get CPU resources.
Question: An administrator is configuring an ESX Host to boot from SAN. After en
tering the HBA BIOS and attempting to select a boot LUN, the ESX Host becomes un
responsive. Which of the following could cause this issue?
Incorrect response(s):
The HBA BIOS cannot see the target storage device
Explanation: If a large number of initiator or target storage devices are in the
same SAN zone with the ESX Host, the HBA BIOS may become unresponsive. If the t
arget storage device was not visible, the LUN could not be selected, but the BIO
S availability would be unaffected.
Question: An administrator is configuring a vNetwork Standard Switch for load ba
lancing. The physical network is configured for switch-assisted load balancing u
