QUESTION 15
A virtual machine has been created using the Typical option. What specific configuration options will be skipped during virtual machine creation (Choose Three)?
A.Datastore location
B.Number of vCPUs
C.Resource Pool
D.Virtual Machine version
E.Virtual Memory configuration
Answer: BDE
Explanation:
The Typical path shortens the process by skipping some choices that rarely need changing from their defaults.
This path includes the following steps:
1 "Enter a Name and Location,"
2 "Select a Resource Pool,"
3 "Select a Datastore,"
4 "Select an Operating System,"
5 "Create a Virtual Disk,"
The Custom path provides more flexibility and options. This path includes the following steps.
1 "Enter a Name and Location,"
2 "Select a Resource Pool,"
3 "Select a Datastore,"
4 "Select a Virtual Machine Version," [D above]
5 "Select an Operating System,"
6 "Select the Number of Virtual Processors," [B above]
7 "Configure Virtual Memory," [E above]
8 "Configure Networks," [E above]
9 "Select a SCSI Adapter,"
10 "Selecting a Virtual Disk Type,"
QUESTION 16
When is the page file for a Windows guest OS or the swap partition for a Linux guest OS created?
A.When a Virtual Machine is first powered on
B.When the Virtual Machine is created
C.When a reservation is set for the Virtual Machine
D.When the Guest OS is installed on the Virtual Machine
Answer: D
Explanation:
Understanding the files that make up a VMware virtual machine
When you power on a VM, a memory swap file is created that can be used in lieu of physical host memory if an ESX host exhausts all of its physical memory because it is overcommitted. These files are deleted when a VM is powered off or suspended.
QUESTION 17
Windows VM’s use a page file and Linux VM’s use a swap partition for virtual memory.
When determining the appropriate size for these, which of the following files would be affected?
A.the Service Console swap partition
B.the .vmdk file
C.the -flat.vmdk file
D.the .vswp file
Answer: C
Explanation:
The -flat.vmdk file. This is the default large virtual disk data file that is created when you add a virtual hard drive to your VM that is not an RDM. When using thick disks, this file will be approximately the same size as what you specify when you create your virtual hard drive.
Since both the Windows page file and Linux swap partition are located on the virtual disk, the -flat.vmdk file will be affected.
QUESTION 18
When creating an MSCS Cluster across 2 ESX 4 Hosts, what type of Virtual Disks can be used?
A.Raw Device Mapped (RDM) disks in Physical or Virtual Compatibility Mode, or virtual disks on a shared VMFS datastore
B.Raw Device Mapped (RDM) disks in Virtual Compatibility Mode only
C.Raw Device Mapped (RDM) disks in Physical or Virtual Compatibility Mode
D.Raw Device Mapped (RDM) disks in Physical Compatibility Mode only
Answer: C
Explanation:
Setup for Failover Clustering and Microsoft Cluster Service ESX 4.0 ESXi 4.0 vCenter Server 4.0, page 19.
You can create a MSCS cluster that consists of two virtual machines on two ESX/ESXi hosts.
Prerequisites
A cluster across physical hosts requires specific hardware and software.
ESX/ESXi hosts that have the following:
Two physical network adapters dedicated to the MSCS cluster and to the public and private networks.
One physical network adapter dedicated to the service console (ESX hosts) or the VMkernel (ESXi hosts).
Fibre Channel (FC) SAN. Shared storage must be on an FC SAN.
RDM in physical compatibility (pass-through) or virtual compatibility (non-pass-through) mode. Vmware recommends physical compatibility mode. The cluster cannot use virtual disks for shared storage.
QUESTION 19
You have a mixture of servers in your datacenter where the CPUs are compatible in every way except that some support NX or XD bit and some do not.
What should you do to minimize the effect of these differences?
A.You mask the NX/XD bits on the servers that do not support the functionality.
B.No action is required, as NX/XD bits are masked by default.
C.You mask the NX/XD bits on the servers that support the functionality.
D.You mask the NX/XD bits on the virtual machines before you VMotion them.
Answer: D
Explanation:
vSphere Basic System Administration vCenter Server 4.0 ESX 4.0 ESXi 4.0, page 153.
Select Advanced > CPUID Mask.
Specify whether you want to hide the host’s CPU NX flag from the guest operating system
Hiding the NX flag prevents the guest operating system from making use of this CPU feature, but enables the virtual machine to be moved to hosts that do not include the NX feature. When the NX flag is visible, the guest operating system can make use of the feature, but the virtual machine can be moved only to hosts with the NX capability.
