QUESTION 26
Which version of NFS does ESX Server require?
A.version 3 over UDP
B.version 3 over TCP
C.version 2 over UDP
D.version 2 over TCP
Answer: B
Explanation:
ESX Configuration Guide ESX 4.0, vCenter Server 4.0, Page 73.
The NFS client built into ESX uses Network File System (NFS) protocol version 3 to communicate with the NAS/NFS servers
At the time of introduction of Version 3, vendor support for TCP as a transport-layer protocol began increasing. While several vendors had already added support for NFS Version 2 with TCP as a transport, Sun Microsystems added support for TCP as a transport for NFS at the same time it added support for Version 3. Using TCP as a transport made using NFS over a WAN more feasible
QUESTION 27
An ESX Host gains exclusive access to Virtual Machines created on NFS datastores using?
A.Distributed File Locking
B.NFS File Locking Protocol
C.SCSI Reservations
D.a special .lck-XXX lock file
Answer: D
Explanation:
ESX ESX Configuration Guide ESX 4.0 vCenter Server 4.0
When your host accesses a virtual machine disk file on an NFS-based datastore, a .lck-XXX lock file is generated in the same directory where the disk file resides to prevent other hosts from accessing this virtual disk file. Do not remove the .lck-XXX lock file, because without it, the running virtual machine cannot access its virtual disk file.

Answer: BD
QUESTION 29

B.zeroed thick
C.thick
D.thin
Answer: A
QUESTION 30
