Mastering VMware vSphere 4, page 59.
However, to utilize the advanced features of the vSphere product suite – features such as Update Manager, VMotion, VMware DRS, VMware HA, vNetwork Distributed Switches, host profiles, or VMware FT – vCentre Server must be licensed, installed and configured correctly.
VMware Data Recovery datasheet, page 1.
VMware Data Recovery is composed of three main components: 1) The user interface plug-in for VMware vCenter Server, 2) The VMware Data Recovery virtual appliance that manages the backup and recovery process, and 3) The de-duplicated destination storage.
QUESTION 112
Which of the following are benefits of ESXi over ESX (Choose Two)?
A.Less Code to Patch
B.Smaller Attack Surface
C.RCLI support
D.Scripted Installation
Answer: AB
Explanation:
The smaller code base of ESXi represents a smaller “attack surface” and less code to patch, improving reliability and security. The functionally of the service console is replaced by remote command line interfaces and adherence to system management standards
QUESTION 113
Suppose you have 10000 Virtual Machines across 2 Datacenters, with approximately 5000 Virtual Machines in each Datacenter. What is the minimum number of vCenter installations and vNetwork Distributed Switches required to support this configuration if all virtual machines were powered on (Choose Two)?
A.1 vNetwork Distributed Switch per Datacenter
B.4 32-bit Windows based vCenter Servers in Linked Mode
C.2 vNetwork Distributed Switches per Datacenter
D.4 64-bit Windows based vCenter Servers in Linked Mode
Answer: CD
Explanation:
Configuration Maximums VMware® vSphere 4.0 and vSphere 4.0 Update 1, age 6, 7.
Table 5. Networking Maximums
Total virtual network switch ports per host (vDS and vSS ports) 4096
Since there are approximately 5000 VMs per Datacenter, 2 vNetwork Distributed Switches per Datacenter are required, hence C.
Table 7. vCenter Server Maximums
Powered?on virtual machines (32?bit OS server) 2000
Registered virtual machines (32?bit OS server) 3000
Powered?on virtual machines (64?bit OS server) 3000
Registered virtual machines (64?bit OS server) 4500
Since, the question states ‘What is the minimum number of vCenter installations and vNetwork Distributed Switches required to support this configuration if all virtual machines were powered on’, and there are 10000 VMs, either 4 vCenter 64?bit OS servers or 5 vCenter 32?bit OS servers are required. Therefore D is required.
QUESTION 114
An administrator manages a site with remote workers, business partners and third-party service providers. These users need access to corporate data and network resources while adhering to security and corporate governance regulations.

QUESTION 117
Which of the following vSphere features cannot be used with virtual machines that are enabled for VMware Fault Tolerance (Choose Two)?
A.RDMs in Virtual Compatibility Mode
B.VMware SMP
C.VMware EVC
D.VMware DRS
Answer: BD
Explanation:
vSphere Availability Guide ESX 4.0 ESXi 4.0 vCenter Server 4.0, page 32.

DRS features. A fault tolerant virtual machine is automatically configured as DRS-disabled. [D above]
QUESTION 118
What are two reasons why a company would choose to use VMware ESXi instead of using VMware Server 2 (Choose Two)?
A.The company needs to access their virtual machines remotely and VMware Server 2 does not support a remote console option
B.The company needs the ability to run dual-processor virtual machines
C.The company wants to be able to patch the servers hosting their virtual machines with zero virtual machine downtime
D.The company is virtualizing several physical servers and wants a centralized management option
Answer: CD
Explanation:
VMware Server Get Started with Virtualization Risk-Free.
Can I manage VMware Server 2 release using an existing or new version of VMware vCenter Server?
No, VMware Server 2 cannot be managed by VMware vCenter Server 2.5. There are no centralized (multi-host) management options available for VMware Server 2. [Therefore D is correct].
What is VMware Remote Console?
The VMware Remote Console allows access to the virtual machine consoles independent of the VI Web Access management interface. A separate window is opened for every virtual machine console that is initiated and the window can be resized as required by the user. Finally, VMware Remote Console can be accessed directly from a desktop shortcut providing independent and instantaneous access to the virtual machine console. [Therefore A is incorrect]
Key Features
Supports two-processor Virtual SMP, enabling a single virtual machine to span multiple physical processors [ Therefore B is incorrect]
