C. vSAN

D. SAN

E. vSphere Virtual Volumes

An administrator receives an escalation to investigate a low disk space alarm on a datastore. The administrator discovers that a snapshot has been accidentally taken on a production, write-intensive database server. The snapshot has grown to nearly 1 TB in size in less than an hour and continues growing every second.

Which behavior should the administrator expect while deleting the snapshot? (Choose the best answer.)

A. ESXi will create a virtual RAM disk to cache ongoing database write activity; performance impact will be limited.

B. ESXi will commit the snapshot delta disk into the base disk; ongoing database write activity could result in long stun times.

C. ESXi will merge the snapshot delta disk into the base disk; the virtual machine will be briefly stunned.

D. ESXi will instantly switch from the base disk to the snapshot delta disk with no performance impact.

Which TCP/IP stack can support management traffic, vSphere vMotion, IP storage and vSphere Fault Tolerance? (Choose the best answer.)

B. Provisioning TCP/IP stack

C. Default TCP/IP stack

D. vSphere vMotion TCP/IP stack

An administrator can attach a baseline to which two inventory objects? (Choose two.)

E. ESXi hosts

Which virtual disk option allows a virtual machine to consume the minimum storage capacity? (Choose the best answer.)

In a vSphere High Availability (vSphere HA) cluster, which condition can be detected by datastore heartbeating? (Choose the best answer.)

A. Fault tolerance virtual machine (VM) failover

B. Network isolation

What are two pre-requisites for enabling ESXi secure boot? (Choose two.)

C. Largest VM to smallest VM

D. Reverse of the startup order

Which feature can an administrator configure to have a copy of critical virtual machines in another cluster? (Choose the best answer.)

A. vSphere Storage vMotion
