B.1
C.10
D.2
Answer: D
Explanation:
Mastering VMware vSphere 4, page 319.
A virtual machine can consist of the following virtual hardware devices: controller
QUESTION 3
Which vSphere feature is being shown in the image in the exhibit? Exhibit:
A.VMDirectPath I/O
B.NPIV
C.VMSafe
D.PVSCSI
Answer: A
Explanation:
VMDirectPath allows guest operating systems to directly access an I/O device, bypassing the virtualization layer.
QUESTION 4
What does the Virtualized Memory Management Unit (MMU) do and what is it required for (Choose Two)?
A.Virtualized MMU is required for Virtual Machine Direct Path PCI devices
B.Virtualized MMU enables memory reclamation from the guest OS
C.Virtualized MMU is required for the vmmemctl driver
D.Virtualized MMU enables Hardware Page Table Virtualization
Answer: AD
Explanation:
Standardized but Flexible I/O for Self-Virtualizing Devices
Hypervisors which support assigning PCI functions to VMs have to provide a virtual PCI (vPCI) bus for each VM so that the guest OS in the VM can discover the assigned PCI devices. Typically the following steps are performed:
1. A device is chosen from the PCI bus to be assigned to a VM.
2. The OS/hypervisor arranges for the device’s interrupts to be forwarded to the VM.
3. The OS/hypervisor configures the IO-MMU to permit the device to access the VM’s memory. [A above]
4. The OS/hypervisor attaches the device to a VM’s vPCI bus.
5. The guest OS discovers the device on its vPCI bus, and loads the device’s PCI driver.
QUESTION 5
Company X wants to install Application Y in a virtualized environment. The underlying operating system has to be Windows 2003 SP1. In a physical environment, the application and supporting software have very strict minimum hardware requirements. Which requirement(s) would prohibit the use of this application inside a virtual machine?
A.a minimum disk size of 2 TB
B.a minimum of 4 available SCSI adapters
C.4 CPUs and 4.5 GB RAM
D.3 NICs and 3 SCSI adapters
Answer: A
Explanation:
The max size of a virtual disk is 2TB minus 512B, "a minimum disk size of 2 TB" cannot be met.
"a minimum of 4 available SCSI adapters" is possible because ESX 4 supports up to 4 SCSI adapters per virtual machine.
"4 CPUs and 4.5 GB RAM "is possible because up to 8 CPUs and 255GB RAM are allowed per virtual machine.
"3 NICs and 3 SCSI adapters" is also possible because the number of virtual PCI slots was increased to allow for the configuration maximums as specified in the following URL.
http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_40_config_max.pdf
While "3 NICs and 3 SCSI adapters" would be true for hardware revision 4 because it had 5 free virtual PCI slots, hardware revision 7 does not have that limitation. This practice exam is for vSphere 4 and the question does not specify which hardware version.
QUESTION 6
Which of the following system images is not a supported import option for vCenter Converter?
A.Norton Ghost 9/10/12 (.gho)
B.Altiris Image File (.img)
C.Acronis True Image 9/10 (.tib)
D.VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) full backup images
Answer: B
Explanation:
What 3rd party images are supported with VMware vCenter Converter?
VMware vCenter Converter can currently import system images (Windows operating system only) from:
Symantec Backup Exec System Recovery (formerly LiveState Recovery)
Symantec Backup Exec
Norton Ghost
Acronis True Image
StorageCraft
Parallels Desktop
VMware vCenter Converter can run on a wide variety of hardware and supports most commonly used versions of the Microsoft Windows and Linux* operating systems. With this robust, enterprise class migration tool you can:
Restore VMware Consolidated Backup (VCB) images of virtual machines to running virtual machines
QUESTION 7
An administrator wants to use standard images for virtual machine deployment. What are two benefits that can be achieved by creating these images as templates (Choose Two)?
A.easier to upgrade and manage multiple VMs
B.less disk space used for base images
C.base images cannot be directly modified
D.templates deploy faster than cloning
Answer: BC
Explanation:
VirtualCenter 2 Templates Usage and Best Practices, page 3.
Overview of VirtualCenter 2 Templates
Templates have been redesigned to fit into the new VMware Infrastructure inventory model and have been updated to address the need to keep virtual machines updated with the most recent operating systems and application patches. Instead of saving virtual machine templates in a completely separate inventory, VirtualCenter 2 stores templates into the main inventory with other virtual machines. However, templates are identified by a different icon and by the ability to prevent them from powering on. As such, templates
can now be:
inventory views.
receive updates and templates that cannot powered on, but can be used as the source images from which to deploy new virtual machines.
machine conversions or stored in sparse (non-runnable) virtual disk format to conserve storage space.
QUESTION 8
With vSphere 4.0 the following operations are possible when working with Virtual Machine disks (Choose Three)?
A.A single Virtual Machine cannot use both thick-provisioned and thin-provisioned virtual disks
B.A virtual disk can be converted from thick-provisioned to thin-provisioned while the Virtual Machine is powered on but only through the use of Storage VMotion
C.A virtual disk can be inflated from a thin-provisioned virtual disk to thick-provisioned while the Virtual Machine is powered on
D.A single Virtual Machine can use both thick-provisioned and thin-provisioned virtual disks
E.A virtual disk can be inflated from a thin-provisioned virtual disk to thick-provisioned but only while the Virtual Machine is powered off
Answer: BDE

QUESTION 9
An administrator is creating a VM that will be running Windows 2008 Enterprise (64-bit). The application to be installed in the VM requires 8 vCPUs to run effectively.
During installation, the only available options are 1,2,3 or 4 vCPUs. Which of the following explains the available vCPU selections?
A.The ESX Host has 2 AMD dual-core CPUs
B.The ESX Host has 2 Intel dual-core CPUs
C.The Virtual Machine Version is 7
D.8 vCPU support is only available for 32-bit guest OS VMs
Answer: A
QUESTION 10
An administrator wishes to cold clone a physical server using vCenter Converter. What is the minimum amount of RAM required for this operation?
A.136 MB
B.128 MB
C.256 MB
D.264 MB
Answer: D
Explanation:
vCenter Converter Administration Guide vCenter Converter for vCenter Server 4.0, page 23.
To run the VMware vCenter Converter Boot CD requires 264MB of memory on the source physical machine. The recommended memory is 364MB
