An administrator needs to update a VMware vCenter instance to a newer minor release version. Due to restrictions within the environment, the vCenter instance does not have access to the Internet As a first step, the administrator downloads the required update on another machine. What are the next steps the administrator must perform to complete the update? A Place the update ISO file in a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore. ' Use the vSphere Client to select the update ISO file as the source for t

An administrator is tasked with adding two additional hosts into an existing production vSphere cluster to support the need for additional capacity. The vSphere cluster currently has four identically configured ESXi hosts (esxOT esx02. esx03 and esx04) that utilize Intel Skylake-based CPUs. The two new hosts (esx05 and esx06) are configured identically in terms of memory and storage to the existing hosts: but utilize Intel Ice Lake-based CPUs. The administrator must ensure that: ?Any virtual machine migrate

An administrator needs to configure a content library solution based on the following information: ?A new corporate virtual machine (VM) template is created every month to include all of the latest patches. ?The new VM template should be downloaded from the primary data center site (London) to two secondary data center sites (Tokyo and New York) as soon as possible. ?There is limited disk space available at one of the secondary data center sites (Tokyo) due to an ongoing data center consolidation project. W

After a number of outages within a production VMware software-defined data center, an administrator is tasked with identifying a solution to meet the following requirements: ? Reduce the risk of outages by proactively identifying issues with the environment and resolving them. ? Reduce the complexity of uploading log bundles when raising support tickets. Which solution should the administrator recommend to meet these requirements?

An administrator is required to configure several Microsoft Windows virtual machines (VMs) to support Secure Boot for a critical secure application. The following information is provided: ?The corporate security policy states that all forms of data encryption must utilize a key provider. ?The firmware of each VM is currently set to use Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI). ?Due to the nature of the application running within the VMs, the guest operating system for each VM is currently a minimum of W

An administrator set up the following configuration: ? The distributed switch has four ESXi hosts, and each host has two 10 Gbps NICs. ? In the Network I/O Control configuration, the amount of bandwidth reserved for virtual machine (VM) traffic if 4 Gbps. The administrator wants to guarantee that VMs in the Retail distributed port group can access 50 percent of the available reserved bandwidth for VM traffic. Given this scenario, what should the size (in Gbps) of the Retail network resource pool be?

An administrator Is performing maintenance activities and discovers that a Virtual Machine File System (VMFS) datastore has a lot more used capacity than expected. The datastore contains 10 virtual machines (VMs) and, when the administrator reviews the contents of the associated datastore, discovers that five- virtual machines have a snapshot file (-delta.vmdk flies) that has not been modified In over 12 months. The administrator chei kfl the Snapshot Manager within the vSphere Client and confirms that ther

administrator successfully installs VMware ESXi onto the first host of a new vSphere duster but makes no additional configuration changes. When attempting to log into the vSphere Host Client using the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) of the host, the administrator receives the following error message: ‘’server Not Found –we can’t connect to the server at esxit101.corp.local.’’ ? Host FQDN: esxi 101. Corp. local ? Management VLAN ID: 10 ? DHCP: No ? Management IP Address: 172.16.10.101/24 ? Management IP G
