What is the primary purpose of configuring a Key Management Server (KMS) in vCenter for VM
Encryption?
B
Explanation:
The primary purpose of configuring a Key Management Server (KMS) in vCenter for VM Encryption is
to manage and store the encryption keys that are used to secure virtual machine data. The KMS
ensures that encryption keys are handled securely and provides a central management point for
encrypting VMs in a VMware environment.
An alert in SDDC Manager indicates that the health status of the vSAN cluster is degraded.
Which tool within VMware Cloud Foundation should be used to gather detailed logs and perform in-
depth troubleshooting for the vSAN issues?
A
Explanation:
Aria Operations for Logs (formerly known as vRealize Log Insight) is used to collect, analyze, and
troubleshoot logs from various components within VMware Cloud Foundation, including the vSAN
cluster. It provides detailed insights into the logs, allowing administrators to perform in-depth
troubleshooting of issues like degraded health statuses.
An administrator needs to configure and manage storage resources and policies to optimize
performance of a VCF environment configured with vSAN.
What two steps should the administrator take? (Choose two.)
B, C
Explanation:
The vSAN performance service provides valuable insights into the storage performance, helping
identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement.
Analyzing and adjusting vSAN storage policies is crucial for ensuring optimal performance. Policies
such as RAID levels, storage encryption, and other settings can be tweaked to better match the
environment's performance requirements.
A specific VM is unable to communicate with other VMs in the same network. An administrator
needs to identify and resolve the network connectivity issue.
What three steps should the administrator follow? (Choose three.)
A, C, D
Explanation:
Port group settings and VLAN configurations need to be correct for VMs to communicate with each
other on the same network. Ensuring they are properly configured is essential.
It's important to check that the VM is connected to the correct port group that matches the network
configuration of the other VMs.
The network adapter settings in vCenter Server should be reviewed to ensure there are no
misconfigurations that could prevent network communication.
Which VMware vSphere feature provides the ability to define and apply datastore capabilities to
ensure virtual machines meet specific performance and availability requirements?
B
Explanation:
Storage Policies in VMware vSphere allow administrators to define and apply specific storage
requirements for virtual machines, ensuring they meet desired performance and availability
standards. These policies enable the alignment of VM storage needs with the capabilities of the
underlying datastores.
What is the impact of consolidating snapshots on a virtual machine?
C
Explanation:
When consolidating snapshots, the data from the snapshot files is merged back into the original
virtual disk. This process temporarily increases the disk space usage on the datastore because of the
additional space required to merge the snapshot data into the primary disk.
While deploying the first VI workload domain in a VMware Cloud Foundation solution, which two
steps will always be performed by SDDC Manager? (Choose two.)
B, E
Explanation:
SDDC Manager automatically deploys and configures a new vCenter Server instance as part of the
deployment of the VI workload domain.
SDDC Manager also handles the deployment of a new NSX Manager instance to provide network
virtualization services for the VI workload domain.
What is the primary symptom of an issue with vSphere HA host states?
D
Explanation:
vSphere HA (High Availability) is designed to automatically restart virtual machines on other hosts in
the cluster in case of a host failure. If there is an issue with vSphere HA host states, the primary
symptom is that HA-protected VMs do not restart after a host failure, which indicates a problem with
HA configuration or functionality.
An organization is looking to streamline its IT service delivery by automating the deployment of
applications and infrastructure across its hybrid cloud environment.
Which VMware Aria Suite component should they use?
D
Explanation:
Aria Automation (formerly vRealize Automation) is designed to automate the deployment of
applications and infrastructure across hybrid cloud environments. It enables the provisioning,
management, and orchestration of IT services, helping organizations streamline their service
delivery.
An administrator has been tasked with creating a real-time view of key performance indicators for
their VMware Cloud Foundation private cloud and an automated monthly report that shows the
capacity consumed by each development team who use the environment.
Which VCF component should the administrator configure to complete their objectives?
D
Explanation:
VMware Aria Operations provides comprehensive monitoring, analytics, and performance
management for the entire VMware Cloud Foundation environment. It enables real-time views of
key performance indicators (KPIs) and can be configured to generate automated reports on capacity
consumption, which aligns with the administrator's objectives.
