An administrator is tasked to configure shared storage for a VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) cluster at a remote location. The following is available at the remote location: Two ESX servers. Two 1GbE network cards per ESX. One sixteen port 1GbE Switch. One NVMe per ESX for the Operating System. One storage system supporting network and fiber channel capabilities. What storage protocol must the administrator use at the remote location?. vSAN. Fiber Channel. Local Storage. NFS.

An administrator is tasked to install a new VMware ESX host to an existing cluster. When the installation is completed, the host is not able to be reached from the vCenter. When testing the host's management network, the default gateway, primary DNS, and secondary DNS are all unreachable, and the host name cannot be resolved. The VLAN for the management network is set correctly and the adapters are all connected. What is the first step in troubleshooting this connectivity issue?. Verify the correct TCP/IP information is configured. Verify the DVS configuration in vCenter. Disconnect and reconnect the physical network cable. Reinstall ESX on the host.

An administrator is tasked to configure Service Discovery in VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations for Linux Guest Operating Systems. For security reasons a non-root user needs to be used and all required steps for the Guest OS have already been completed. What are the two steps the administrator needs to take? (Choose two.). Activate Use Sudo in the vCenter instance. Activate Service Discovery in the required VCF Operations NSX instance. Activate Use Sudo in the Service Discovery instance. Deactivate Use Sudo in the Service Discovery instance. Activate Service Discovery in the required VCF Operations vCenter instance.

An organization requires a centralized platform to monitor the performance, health, and capacity of their entire VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) environment. Which two components would provide this capability? (Choose two.). VCF Operations. vSphere Supervisor. VCF Operations for Networks. VCF Operations for Logs.

What are two capabilities of a Harbor registry? (Choose two.). Deploy both container and virtual machine images. Automatic image validation. Vulnerability scanning. Image signing. Automatic image update.

In VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF) Operations, which node type is responsible for providing fault tolerance for administrative functions within the VCF Operations cluster?. Data Node. Primary Node. Witness Node. Replica Node.

Which two resources can be configured in a VM Class in VMware vSphere with vSphere Supervisor? (Choose two.). Storage. Network interface. CPU. Memory. PCI devices.

An administrator has licensed vSphere components in Connected mode and then switched to Disconnected mode to meet the company security restrictions, which cannot be violated. What must the administrator do to ensure the VMware vSphere Foundation license remains valid?. Provide an internet connection to VCF Operations, then download a new license file from the VCF Business Services console at least once every 180 days. Switch to Connected mode, validate that VCF Operations has downloaded a new license file from VCF Business Services console, and then switch to Disconnected mode at least once every 365 days. Nothing. The license is perpetual. Manually exchange a registration and license file between the VCF Operations instance and the VCF Business Services console at least once every 180 days.

Which three resource limitations that can be configured on a vSphere Namespace? (Choose three.). The amount of storage. The amount of memory. The amount of CPU. The amount of containers. The amount of containers.

What is the purpose of a port group on a Distributed Switch?. To allocate CPU and memory resources to virtual machines. To define a logical grouping of virtual ports for network traffic segmentation. To enable vSAN connectivity. To manage storage I/O performance.

What open source project does vSphere Supervisor use to automate the lifecycle management of VMware Kubernetes Service (VKS) clusters?. Contour. Grafana. Cluster API. Kubeadm.

Which two types of group can be created to collect and manage objects in Istio Service Mesh? (Choose two.). API. Service. Cluster. Security. Node.

An administrator is tasked with adding a 96 core VMware ESX host to a VMware vSphere Foundation (VVF) 9.0 vCenter cluster. The vCenter has been previously licensed for 1024 cores and the existing hosts equal 960 cores. The administrator adds the host to the vCenter cluster and places the cluster back into production. What issue will occur if the administrator performs no additional actions to this vCenter?. The new ESX host will operate in evaluation mode until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. If the host is not licensed when the evaluation period expires, it is disconnected from the vCenter instance. No issue will occur. The new host was added to the vCenter cluster successfully and will operate for the valid period of the applied license. The new ESX host will operate in evaluation mode until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. If the host is not licensed when the evaluation period expires, the host will be limited to 64 cores until 32 cores or greater is added to the license. The new ESX host has been limited to 64 cores until more capacity is added to the license to license the host. Once 32 cores or greater is added to the license, the full 96 cores of the new host will be useable.
