An administrator is upgrading a vSphere Distributed Switch. The existing switch is version 5.0 and the administrator wants to upgrade to the latest version possible. The environment contains several ESXi 5.1 hosts. Which two options are available to ensure that the upgraded switch will be compatible with these hosts? (Choose two.)

A. Upgrade the vSphere Distributed Switch to 5.5

B. Upgrade the ESXi 5.1 hosts to version 5.5, then upgrade the vSphere Distributed Switch to 5.5

C. Upgrade the vSphere Distributed Switch to 5.1

D. Upgrade the ESXi host switches to 5.5, then upgrade the vSphere Distributed Switch to 5.5

-- Exhibit -

-- Exhibit -What is portrayed in the performance chart?

A. The ESXi host running the VM has Transparent Page Sharing enabled.

B. The virtual machine's memory share value is set too high.

C. The virtual machine is memory constrained.

D. The ESXi host running the VM is low on memory.

An administrator using vCenter Operations Manager is viewing the health of an ESXi host in the environment. There have NOT been any reported outages or issues with the ESXi host, but the administrator needs to determine if the host is behaving normally.

Which minor badge should the administrator investigate to determine this information?

A. Faults

B. Anomalies

C. Stress

D. Health

A developer needs to create a multi-tier development stack for a home lab.

Which vSphere product will support the architecture required for the least software cost?

A. vSphere Hypervisor

B. vSphere Essentials

C. VMware Player

D. VMware Workstation

What should an administrator do to configure multi-pathing using software iSCSI?

A. Bind the VMkernel ports to the software iSCSI initiator

B. Configure Zoning between the hosts and SAN switches

C. Configure NIC teaming on the associated uplinks

D. Ensure jumbo frames are enabled end-to-end

Which two CPU features enable the use of 64-bit virtual machines? (Choose two.)

A. Intel VT

B. NX/XD Bit

C. Hyper-threading

D. AMD RVI

An organization has a cluster of 6 ESXi hosts. Security policy requires that all administrative activity occurs through vCenter Server and not directly on the hosts. Which action should a system administrator take to enforce this policy?

A. Use the vSphere client to right-click on the cluster and select Enable lockdown mode on the ESXi hosts in the cluster.

B. Use the vSphere client to navigate to the Security Profile of each ESXi host and enable lockdown mode.

C. Connect to the DCUI of each ESXi host and navigate the menus to the Troubleshooting Options and enable lockdown mode.

D. Connect to the ESXi shell on each host and type the command service lockdown start.

An administrator of a secure environment needs to add an iSCSI target to a new ESXi host using the vSphere client. The administrator has configured discovery and performed a rescan operation, but the iSCSI target does NOT appear.

Which action should the administrator take for the target to appear in the vSphere client?

A. Configure appropriate CHAP authentication settings

B. Bind a VMkernel port to the iSCSI initiator

C. Configure Jumbo Frames prior to adding iSCSI targets

D. Enable iSCSI in a vSphere Distributed Switch configuration

An administrator removes a virtual machine from a resource pool and places it in the DRS root resource pool. Users report the performance of the application running on the virtual machine has improved. The virtual machine relocation was the only change that occurred.

What explains the change in application performance?

A. The memory, storage, and/or CPU settings of the original resource pool restricted access to resources for the virtual machine.

B. The configured memory, storage and/or CPU shares on the root resource pool are higher than the original resource pool.

C. The memory, storage and/or CPU settings on the root resource pool restricted access to resources for the virtual machine

D. The configured memory storage and/or CPU reservations on the root resource pool are higher than the original resource pool.

The load is high on a HA/DRS cluster. DPM is enabled. A vSphere administrator determines that hosts are NOT powering on automatically to support the load. Which configuration would result in this condition?

A. VM-to-VM or VM-to-Host DRS rules have been configured that restrict where some VMs can be moved.

B. DPM has been set to the most Conservative threshold.

C. Some of the virtual machines have been removed from HA consideration by the vSphere administrator.

D. DRS is set to Manual Automation.
